I was hoping to import the Sand Scorcher bodyset as I did the Buggy Champ bodyset for about £30 including P&P, maybe someone from Hong Kong knows???

Hi All! Does anyone know when the bodyset will be released oversea's? I have an expected release date over here of 21 March from ModelsportUK priced at £37.00???

The shell is finished now, just waiting for the chassis now...

Time will tell I suppose, the paint is the new waterbased car paint, very flexible as it has to be used on plastic molded bumpers on 1:1 automobiles. It will be run from Wednesday next week & as soon as any I detect any paint damage I will post pics on this thread. Connor

Has anybody got one of these on a pre-order? I went to buy a 2wd 1:10 Slash earlier this week but the guy behind the counter told me the new 4x4 version will be out on the 12 January, so I thought I'd hold my horses & pre-order one. I have been after a decent modern runner for a while & was triggered to buy one from the great reviews I have heard from other TC members regarding short course trucks. It was either gonna be a Team Associated SC10 or a Traxxas Slash, but after hearing the Traxxas was comming out soon in 4wd I was instantly sold!!! I just need to find a decent BMX track near me now...

Thanks for your help, I keyed the plastic before painting with Scotchbrite which helped the paint stick. I have used a textured aerosol paint normally used for plastic molded bumper repairs & this seems to have worked okay. Its flexible enough to bend with the plastic & strong enough not to scratch off if I try to scratch it! I guess I will find out after I take my Traxxas 4x4 into the field (when it arrives that is!!!). Here are some pics of the shell so far, the painting is done & I've just started decalling:

What about using tamiya TS spray paint, is that okay for a lexan shell?

I have been eyeing the Slash up for some time now as I wanted a decent / modern runner that I wasn't afraid to drive a bit wreckless with so popped into Modelsport in Otley to purchase one. I ended up buying a Proline Hardcore Shell to paint & customise to my own taste. Now this shell will be painted with my leftover waterbased paints from work which work a treat, but I'm after something to "seal" the paint in there as with the lexan shells I have painted before the paint can be scratched off if you try hard enough! Is there a product out there that I can use to effect this???

Have you ever considered Blackpool beach or Lytham St. Annes for the sand dunes???

Hi Dazaa Today I have been cleaning the alloy parts with car polish (Farclea G3) using my buffer, they got all the blemishes off & came up a treat. So shiny you can see your reflection in them. Suprising really to say that they were extremely dirty & dull before!!! Sorry I don't have a before pic but it looked a helll of a lot worse!

Hi there I live at Colne at the end of the M65, near Burnley not too far from Blackburn, do you ever do any meets near these places??? Regards Connor

Nice colour combo!!!

Cheers Pete - looks superb!

"BRRMM BRRMM, What were you saying??? I couldn't here you with this thing on my head!!!

Hi Pete Looks great, could you show us a picture of it from the rear so I could get a better look at the rear bumper? And also could you tell me how much it was & where it was sourced from??? Regards Connor
