Here's a thread just for Typhon custom bodies - post yours.

I just got my car and wanted a black car, so picked up a ARRMA clear body and black PC paint and had it done in a couple of hours. They come with the factory decals so it's very similar, just black instead of red.

Also did a wire-tidy as found here in the threads - that was good info there!

Let's see your cars.

Ziptied battery leads, second lead loop, and added a third velcro strap for the battery connector. No wires in my gears.

Smooth!!

Hey Guys,

New to the Arrma family. Through the cold winter months I've found out that custom painting bodies is as nice as bashing on itself. Here are some pictures of my projects. Be glad to here some comments, feedback or remarks. Happy bashing everybody.

The body isn’t in pristine condition anymore, but you could surely make me an offer.

Great, so no need for primer, just use a paint like what you listed and go straight at it?

Suff the outside really well with fine scotchbrite. I have done this on a couple of bodies and it works well. Thin coats and lots of patience. Both of these are painted on the outside(silver on the inside)and wet sanded for weathered effect. Topped with matte clear. All Tamiya rc paint

@Bowtiefan ... Outcast looks awesome I have to ask, how did you do the roll hoop and wheels and what did you use ??

I ordered some rust pigments on Amazon. I mixed them with some Krylon Fusion clear. Brushed on and then topped with flat clear coat.

Decided to do another one just for fun, I didn’t really put much effort into this one, I just wanted something a little more visible that the others. Always trying something creative to be different that the others I’ve got.. since I like to make my own decals & the window stickers werent coming off the decal sheet, I traced the masks on cardboard and made stencils incase I ever wanna make some more in the future from vinyl.

I noticed it’s not mounted, I’ve got the same body I’m getting ready to paint, was curious what you planned on mounting it with? I might just put it on my senton6s instead.

 

[Malice]

I 3d printed some mounts.

I went with the Mugen front bumper assembly. Worked flawlessly.
