Anyway, that was with the stock 540s. I have some 19T cheapo basher motors on order.

I was just woindering if you were going to take advantage of it or not. What radio are you using?

I have a stick radio in it now, a 3PM is going to replace that since it is only temporary.

Does this help Evader?
Dang, paint is chipping off those super soft bumpers. Looks like I need some aluminum ones...."hint, hint, nudge, nudge...know what I mean, know what I mean"(Monty Python)

I little teaser...
It didn't come out as well as I planned. Maybe this will be my basher shell. I can always use painting practice.
Few more things to do before the chrome goes on.

You didn't paint the bumper, though, right?! Why the paint chip?

The paint didn't chip, the paint under the orange wrinkled up. I waited three days before painting the orange and it still wrinkled the blue. That's what I get for using HD paint. I'm going back to auto paint for the rest of my works. Much more reliable.

Often times different types of paint cause wrinkling, peeling, and other undesired effects when sprayed on top of each other.
You may have already heard, that, but if not... that'll give you and idea what happened.

Just curious, did you colors from the same manufacture for each layer that you sprayed? Eg. Rust-o-Leum Metallic Blue, Rust-o-Leum White, etc.

They look fine in raw metal. Besides, it's not off that much. I think you did a great job, it could be used as a spare.
