I used Tamiya PS-37 Translucent Red and backed it with Spaz Stix SZX00309 Silver Metallic Candy Backer
That was my very first plan. Translucent red and silver. Does the metalic show trought? Ps12 silve isnt really a metalic when i used it. Maybe i need bright silver who is metalic
Yes the metallic shows through the red.
Nice body however. Very detailed.
Thanks for sharing details. I'm in the process of preparing to paint my first body and I ordered some paint but after seeing yours I want some red just like that so I'm going back and ordering thata translucent red and spazstix. Your red came out amazing!
Can't you just add kratan hubs etc to widen the rear while still using same size tires? Or hub extensions in the rear.That PL body is not really for an Infraction at all.
PL tells you to make your Infr. into a Felony for the body to be right. This body is marketed this way. PL chose not to make a C-8 body for the Lim or Infr. So everyone will $buy$ this one as a do it all body, not just Felony guys. I know that I would never want those Felony rear wheels and the rear diff swap on my Lim or Infraction. I have a set of the 53/107 Felony wheels.
I think they suck for traction.
On any rig. Doesn't hook up well. Bigger is not always better.
Just me.
Good looks and the cool factor works for some I guess. IDK.
I would not want a Felony for this reason. Disappoints me.
Couldn't mechanically justify making my Infr or Lim into a Felony just to fit this Felony specific PL C-8 body. Dumb logic. PL is not all that performance oriented. They just make nice bodies.
In theory it should have more traction. Bigger meaty wheels like on f1 cars.That PL body is not really for an Infraction at all.

Yeah but the tires will be smaller
An option some have done.
The delta plastic doesn't look good personally vs the PL personally.An option some have done.
Just that the PL C-8 is flared at the rear fenders for 12mm taller tires. Not just a wider track. This expensive body is not correct for Hoon 42/100 wheels or smaller. Think GRP's.
I would look to Delta plastics if you want a Vette body that is a fit. These are costly bodies. I would want it to be in it's proper scale proportions. These are $$ Licensed bodies.
It is just personal preference in the end. The PL C8 body is perfect for a box stock Felony.
Hope I understood your question.
Agree, the PL C-8 body is only designed for the felony..... The rear is not only flared for the wider wheels, but the wheel openings are sized for the larger diameter tires. Using the smaller tires on the back, even using spacers to match the width, just does not look right - too much space around the tire in the body opening.An option some have done.

What part are you referring to? Front Splitter?
I bought the front skidplate from scorch for spark. The rears were 2 times more expensive. I wanted to shot sparks like how f1 cars do under braking. A dissapointment so far no sparks. Im talking about the front splitter. The plastic one
The front splitter can be cut from a sheet of 3mm (or 1/8") lexan - you can get at home depot or most other home improvement shops. Use the existing one as a template - maybe trace it out before you crash
I have cut it with a very fine tooth metal cutting blade in a jigsaw.
Lexan will shader first bump i smash into but not wrongThe front splitter can be cut from a sheet of 3mm (or 1/8") lexan - you can get at home depot or most other home improvement shops. Use the existing one as a template - maybe trace it out before you crash
could try Micarta (aka G-10) sheets, that stuff is hard - not sure how brittle it is though. I use 1/8" sheets for various projects, but have not had to replace my splitter yet.Lexan will shader first bump i smash into but not wrong
