My first painted body
Here are photos of my Rustler with a Baja Bug body and stock wheels that I painted. What do you think, I was debating adding led lights for a bit of fun. Any thoughts on LED kits?

RE: My first painted body
I have added torches to my Baja Bug where the headlight stickers are, i masked it on the inside before painting and glued the "light buckets" (which i took from the dismantled torches) on to the body Did the same with the masking on the rear and used 10 mm leds there.
Oh, and very nice painting!

RE: My first painted body
Thanks guys.
And Lars, that sounds very cool. Do you have any photos of your bug?
I just ordered a 10mm LED kit for the front and back along with a fog light kit off of Bill's LED's. They seem great and are very inexpensive. I'll let you know the result when I get them.

That's a great looking bug! It looks very scale! I have been building scale planes for a while but am new to building the scale cars. I want to build something like the rear guard you have there. Very nice!

Thanks a lot Yes, i love the outcome of the rear cage, i used an old tv-antenna for the tubings, hehe. And i have always loved the look of the Tamiya Sand Scorcher, so finally i got to make a version of it

Looks really nice! Do you have a picture when the lights are turned off so i can see the frontlights? Hmmm, that sounds like a strange question I like the canisters on the rear lights

RE: My first painted body
oops, sorry. Here's the photo of the underside and another close up of the battery and switch. The LED's with are holding up really well. I just went out on the dirt to test out my new brushless kit and the lights worked well.
