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?

Looks very nice...........

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!

Thanks guys. <div>And Lars, that sounds very cool. Do you have any photos of your bug? </div><div>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.</div>

I have a thread about it [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_9455993/anchors_9478614/mpage_1/key_/anchor/tm.htm#9478614]here[/link], do have a look at it:) But sorry, i have no pics from the mounting/glueing of the light buckets though...

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!</div>

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:)

that is a sweet paint job, simple but good looking

RE: My first painted body
 

Thanks,I'm really not a fan of "graphics". I prefer the more subtle looks.

I added an LED Kit to it yesterday. I originally bought the kit just for fun but works really well driving outside after dark.

RE: My first painted body
 

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
 

Thanks, Here's some photo's with the lights off and under the body.<br type="_moz" />

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.

Thank you for sharing!:)

RE: My first painted body
 

No Worries. You've given me some great ideas so thank-you! :D

RE: My first painted body
 

Oh, that is nice to hear:)
