Scapelnz 204 Posted April 18, 2014 Amazing job on the body! really impressive!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Axeboy 297 Posted April 18, 2014 Agreed, you have more patience than me I might take a stab at masking the smaller parts like the rear "Ford" etc, but im worried i'll ruin it, we'll soon see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr crispy 2293 Posted April 18, 2014 Both are looking good to me. Where did you get the Parma BF body from Axeboy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Axeboy 297 Posted April 18, 2014 Got it from Modelsport in the end mate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andyrt200 201 Posted April 21, 2014 It did take a while to get my Parma body looking like that! I just free handed the front & rear Ford letters, also the windscreen surround in silver first before spaying black over it all. The pressings in the mould are quite accurate for them so help to keep the brush straight. I got it from Model Sport too, although I think Time Tunnel have them too now. It's needed a few repairs since using it, but I won't go on hijacking your thread, I'll get round to doing one my self soon. Hopfully you will have more luck with your four body mounts. Enjoy it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Axeboy 297 Posted April 21, 2014 Im lacking in skill and patience! Ive painted the front grill, looks decent. The masks that came with the shell dont fit exactly as I'd like so used a little tamiya masking to tidy it up. I'll give it a go later painting the FORD on the rear... fingers crossed! The windscreen surround might be my next task. Cant actually paint the shell yet, waiting on some bits Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Axeboy 297 Posted April 24, 2014 Some parts today. New C parts x 2 which includes the needed bodyposts Motor plate Pinion Lipo from Hobbyking that fits Just waiting on the new screw set from Jaaapaaaan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Axeboy 297 Posted May 2, 2014 Had to shorten the springs again, maybe later I'll buy new shocks that suit it better but its still to be tested. Shell on and I bought a repro sticker set which came out alright. Just waiting on the screw set from Japan and I need to get some soldering skills to redo a deans on the new lipo, and that should be it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr crispy 2293 Posted May 2, 2014 Looking good Axeboy. It's good to see those red springs still on there. What lipo do you intend to use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Axeboy 297 Posted May 2, 2014 I got one from Hobbyking, a "Turnigy nano-tech 4000mah 2S" Fits perfectly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Axeboy 297 Posted May 17, 2014 Project pretty much done, screw set arrived and I sorted a few issues with that plus it had the important servo arm. The turnigy servo installed only went one way a full 180 degrees, no idea whats happened to it. Its new as well, but the Hobbyking servo I bought for the Montero wheelie works fine in it. I'll be making an order to Banzai in a few weeks and I think I'll get the short CVA's for it... the Traxass shocks are nicely made but too long and its just not right. No rush for it, but I'll get that and maybe a torque tuned motor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Axeboy 297 Posted May 17, 2014 Even with the chopped springs the stance isnt right. But overall, project about done... CVA's and ill be happy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteveU30 1011 Posted May 17, 2014 Why don't you just limit the length of the shocks as I did in my thread? (I had the same issues with my shocks being too long). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Axeboy 297 Posted May 17, 2014 Its a fair point. I'll look into that before I make the jump. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr crispy 2293 Posted May 17, 2014 Looks nice. Do they sell CVAs in red now? I know they started doing white ones, just thinking it might look nice with a bit of colour to tie in the body and chassis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
