Your MG that started off as a hull

[HYDROJERRY]

The cf painting is easy, i mean like realy easy, spray the area you want done with silver paint go to walmart or somewhere like that and get some of that rubber mesh looking stuff you put in you cabnets inside your house, lay it over the silver and spray it black but you have to spray it in a slinted mostion, dont cover it completly, leave some like dusted areas then pull of the mesh and respray over all of it with some translucent black and thats it,, i did it inside the overtray and inside my slash body it looks cool..

This is all I got rc car wise ...............

Before they seem to sell a nicely painted body for this with a US flag theme - cant find it anywhere now. Electronics for this is cheap, so probably just waiting for inspiration to strike.
Either that or get myself a Baja - but nahhh ..........been there, done that. My first rc car was about 25yrs or so ago and I was using a Losi Jrx to race againts the ae rc10 and Yokomos during that era. Thou its great to see Tamiya re-release their vintage rc cars lately.

Running a hydro eh! It should be fast!
Hopefully in a day or two I'll get some pics out of the new funboat gasser im currently building - this is gonna be my 3rd gasser to date. Nothing fancy - just something to go around and round, relaxing and just enjoying the day.

It was gas powered(nitro).That is a Hacker 2630kv motor there beside it.Should be 4-6s in her.Did you guys check out the vid.

[skyman]

[HYDROJERRY]

Yes Sir, sweet i still love the Hydros, when i first got into boats i was crazy about hydros hense the name HYDROJERRY,,,, cool vid to bud that thing was cruzin,,,
Nice Mac looks like you just need to get cooking on that thing.
Skyman yes i did the cf on the hood then painted out a picture of a skull and cut it out for a template, layed it on top of the cf and lightly sprayed over it, when i went to the craft store to get more candy green i looked threw there stuff and found some letter templates taped off what i wanted layed it ontop and dusted it with paint, all should look good after i get it all clearcoated,, heres some pics of the slash body with the cf hood i did..

[HYDROJERRY]

yea, i have 2 bodies, but i can't run the car so i figured i would start wrenching on it a little and get some of those parts installed

[HYDROJERRY]

thats cool bud, iwas just wondering. if your into rc's you should look into getting a cheap airbrush kit i got mine from hobbyking was real cheap and works ok for the little things i do, still learning but it helps alot when your painting stuff, you can get way more control then a regular spray can!!! And not waste all your paint..

[HYDROJERRY]

Check this one out, i sold it but it was my first atempt at airbrushing a car body, i did everything on this one down to the fake exhaust out the back, orderd the wheels i wanted and everything but my road is to rough for a drifter so i let it go..

[HYDROJERRY]

PS i did that hood cf also.

man, u have a gift for reading my mind... about a month ago i was at harbor freight thinking the same thing. i was thinking of getting one of those bigger compressors (upright) and get some accessories for around the house too, including a paint gun, and airbrush kit. just waiting for a sale
can you show me which airbrush kit you got with a link to the hobbyking website?

here's my ford svt raptor body, the other one's a little beat up, it's the stock amsoil (silver) one from traxxas (pic #1)
btw, traxxas is releasing a new dodge ram body for the slash, very nice (pic #2)
