Default new buggy body coming ..need advice

im getting a new body soon, cause i dont like any that came with my used storm.
im thinking something that is a fade front to back with white being the back color since i have a new white wing and white wheels.
any other suggestions?

oh by the way look at this body i saw today while cruising around looking for examples.well dont really look at the body, cause its not my style but i thought the bikes were funny and well done.

Kinda neet. I bet those bikes would be liked by rc car action if you were trying to get into readers rides though.

if you're wheels and wing are white, then don't use white as the base color. If you use little white, it will still be very noticable because the wing and wheels bring out the color.

You have white wheels and a white wing, so i would go with like a white nose faded into a neonish green or blue. Or, you could paint it like Kanai's 7.5 w/ green base paint with a white racing stripe up the middle and white stripes on the bottom of the side. Looks very racy.

L8r,

he does have green wing, and green wheels, but i bet it would look even cooler with white wing and white wheels.

i like this pattern but not the colors

the only thing that sucks is those patterns dont really transfer the same to a buggy body since there is basically no front hood.

I think the pattern you like and those colors look good together. Not my car so it isnt my call, just my $.02

I agree about the buggy body, but I like the pattern and the colors of the first one
