A much classier body for my DT02

Decided to give my DT02 Desert Gator a new bodyshell, so I snapped up a cheap Sand Viper shell from Fusion hobbies. Here's my first attempt at a custom paint job and some homemade decals, printed on White polyester label material with a colour laser. I wanted to go for something a bit classier than the decal crazy box art and something with a bit of a retro feel.

The colours I chose are Gun Metal Grey & Orange. The white stripe is made from an off-cut of white vinyl I had lying around.

Spent last week in cornwall at Pendower Beach and managed to tear myself away from the bodyboarding to give my cars a quick blast and snap some pics! I'll upload some action shots later. I was a bit disappointed though with the performance of this car on the wet, loose sand. Far to much wheel spinning and not enough top end. But still, it was fun! Even my other half enjoyed driving them cars while I took the pics, which is a real breakthrough! :)
