joeling 1649 Posted March 24, 2020 Also been busy on other related things : No love for the blue 1/2 a sachet of this in a small pot. Left to boil or near boiling. After 8 minutes... Another potential project : Bought some non Tamiya plastic primer. After 1 thick coat a couple of days ago, applied some non Tamiya yellow today. Again, no patience. Oversrpay everywhere. More mistakes to correct. Do you think this will suit the red box art body or the green one ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joeling 1649 Posted March 27, 2020 Working on a 'blackened' version of the Black edition. Used up some of the bits that were dyed black earlier. 8.5T + CC Mamba 10th scale that I bought quite many years ago. Surprised that they still work. Updated firmware etc. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin_Mc 411 Posted April 1, 2020 All black looks good, that's something I have planned on a Super Clodbuster i have in the loft although with a slight twist to the body. Does the shell of the Black Edition come in black plastic like the Lunchbox BE or is it white like the rest of them prior to painting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joeling 1649 Posted April 3, 2020 This thing is not small. Work in progress. Still need to figure out placement of electronics and batteries. Make something to cover up the red rear end. 120A esc and shorty 2S Lipo. This will not be a shelf queen.
