Can't wait to see more info. Losi is going to have a run for their money on this one. The Baja 1000 was an awesome truck and handled amazingly, this should be better.

I got a question, never painted a 1/5 scale, is that done on the inside or the outside of the body?

Thanks. in the pics the "clear" bodys have that offwhite look to them so I didn't know if that was an overspray film or not.

The white is a plastic film on the outside of the body.
