Hi all, this here`s my new built MP. The first RC I wanted was the Hornet but somehow ended up with the Big Bear. So I thought i`d get myself another then fit a hornet gearbox to make it more reliable. Well it works out that Tamiya had already done this for me ;) So i`ve customised the body to make it more Big Bearish. It`s ballraced and is using a 40C lipo wich proves to be a laugh to drive. Hope you like the pics.

Thanks for the feedback guys. The body is a metallic special painted with Tamiya TS-72 clear blue 500 spray with clear on top. Same as what I used on my Hot Shot heat sinks. [Click here]

Great looking truck!

I am looking to paint a metallic MP body, did you have to prep it first or did the Tamiya paint stick to the chrome ok without any prep??

Thanks stevepi. All I did was give it a good wash with mild soap and then make sure to wipe off any water marks and dust off. Apply light coats of paint. Good luck!
