  1. That green is a kwl shade and it looks like a clean kut out job on the rear... Are you going to make seats and all and also are you oing to have a driver... I would like to do a drop in interior I used Plasti-kote projekt gloss paint on my shell over 2 coats of Plasti-kote primer... will check back to see them photos...
  2. update: I got the rest of the black paint work done 2day... I still have some parts to touch up before I can clear coat it and add the front lights... etc...
  3. thanks for the comments, I haven't tired highlift tyres on it... I was thinking about getting another 2 tyres and kutting out the rear to add the 2 spare tyres like the real bowler has but then never did... lol... I look forward to seeing photos of your bowler... here is a few more photos of mine, I have added the silver bumper paint and started on painting parts of the body black... I still have the front grill, side window lines, wheel arches and side running boards and the spot under the rear wing to paint black... which should get done this saturday...
  4. ok so... I got 2 coats of super gloss red on the body 2day, its not fully dry yet... but it looks really glossy atm, and I still have to clear coat the damm thing, once I get the black and silver on it... lol... I also need to still fine some where/one that can make my decal designs into vinyl ones, as the last 2 ppls have never returned any of my email's...
  5. ok so I know its been awhile but I have the chassis running and I have got some New - HPI Work Meister S1 Wheels 26mm Chrome (3mm Off-Set) rims for the truck now and I also made and added a custom front skid plate, sort of like the real wildcat has... after taking these photos I have given the body 2 coats of primer, I hope to get 2 coats of red on 2morrow and then I will have to go get some black, silver and clear coat paint on tus or wens... I will post more updates as I have them...
  6. I got the body shell from KAMTEC MODELS via ebay...
  7. thanks hrddrvr it must just be the angle of the photos or somethink because the front and rear wheels are about the same, not much I can do about it... ok so I was talking to my parents about making some light buckets for the truck, and yesterday while they where out shopping they got a set of 4 Plastic Champagne glasses with detachable stands for like 1 / $1.99 as my mam though they would make some light buckets kut up right... so I would like to thank her for getting me these... Removed the detachable stand Then I kut of the bottom part of the plastic glass Blue Tack'ed in place for photos e.g. View from inside I will add a bit of clear plastic from the inside to make the front of the headlight lens, I also need to get some LEDs then I can drill a hole in the end part of the light bucket to allow the wires of the LED out... I will paint the inside of the light bucket with some chrome paint and the outer side with some black paint... I have afew vents to finish kutting out and then I can give the body a coat of primer as I got a new can of it the other day...
  8. I will need to find the alloy motor mount then, anyone know the model no. for one ? also heres a update on my truck... while on ebay again... lol... fav. past time... I came across a Bowler Wildcat ABS body and I just had to get it... It came 2days ago and since then I have kut out the windows, will be making side split windows and adding clear front window... drilled out the hole in the front and rear bumpers and also mounted it to the chassis... I also changed out the rims to some spare HPI 6 Spoke Chromes which I think stand out more and suit the body more... I am going to paint the body red with the "Ascents" if thats the right word... in black i.e. rear wing, window lines, grill, wheel arches etc... Last night I got the front headlights cut out as I am going to make working headlights for it, also got the front hood and side body vents cut out also... I also did some BOWLER logo designs in flash like the ones seen on the real truck, image below... Chassis set up atm.. Saturn 20T Motor (540 Type) Mtroniks Viper ECO 20 ESC 4x AAA 800mAh RX Cell Pack 7.2v 3300mAh Rack Pack Acoms Techniplus TX and RX More Coming Soon...
  9. Thanks, I only really need it to know how to mount the motor once I get it... so those that have a F150 posted above could you tell me that or take some photos of how the motor is mounted into the rear gears.... EDIT: I had a look at where the motor gets mounted and have found out how its done... theys to screws on the over side of the gear box that hold the motor mounting plate in place so I removed them and I see how the motor will mount to that plate...
  10. Hi I am new to the world of tamiya's but I have been around the world of RC'ing for a few years... I started off 1/10 drifting and then moved on to custom xmods and mini-t / micro-t (dt)... but after finding a Tamiya Prerunner up for grabs on ebay afew days ago I though it would make a great project to work on, as well as run... the below photos are of the Prerunner from the ebay listing I though I would just post these up for now... saves me taking new photos myself when they will just be the same, untill I start working on it... I got the truck without any esc, motor, tx, etc... I only got the servo, this was so I could get the truck for way less then he wanted for it... I have spare transmitter & receiver unit myself so I just need to get a new motor and esc + battery pack and chager... I know they is a link to a online manual via the club website for this truck but the page links are not for this truck... lol... so if anyone knows where I can get hold of a manual for this truck online... i.e. for free I would be very grateful...
