RE: Pics of my new Revo
Thanks guys
Casper the elky body is a HPI product and comes with the blower molded into the hood, you can get that body at "most" hobby shops for about $25.
The only thing i changed was the blower scoop that HPI gives you to mount on top of the "blower case" is waaay to big, its almost cartoonishly big and IMO makes the truck look more like a toy than realistic. So i left the scoop off of the blower and i made 2 small round air cleaners out of a hard composite material and screwed them to the blower through the bottom, then i made two small round air cleaner lids from some polished aluminum and epoxied them to the top of the air cleaners. Looks a bit more scale in my opinion.
