Looking really good.  Are those scale parts like the jack and rifle from Proline?

They actually hobby gear pack from rpp it came with fire extinguisher also just haven't got it mounted

Looks great! I should have some free weekend in a couple weeks. I'm having r/c withdrawals.

Thanks man I'm quite proud lol now that I put all the time into the body I don't even wanna drive it

Yeah the body looks good but now go destroy it

So I had bought my dingo used so the black body was the first I ever painted little did i know that not all tamiya paint is the same so the whole paint job started to flake and crack any suggestion on how to remove the old paint without messing up body?

if its lexan paint heres a good how to video!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eP-3lP5OD8

No it was tamiya lauqer I feel like dumb shit lol

dont feel to bad when i first got into this hobby and i got my first ever kit which was a dingo i thought you were suppose to use regular spray paint....lol i soon found out it was wrong! Oh and i painted it on the outside of the body.... wow what a noob i was.....lol

Wry nice thank you for that deffinetly good lesson learned lol

lol np i dont mind sharing my newbish moments with ppl but thats how we learn!

U could sand and buff.  But id rather buy a new body. Alot of guys are painting the out side as well. Put a couple coats of a copperish color. Next day top coat it with what ever color u want. Next time u scratch it  will apear like rust. Thats pretty scale. My white tacoma is uaving that same issue,  but when it gets to ugly the outside will be painted.

Thank you for idea bout painting outside with the rust color than normal color think I'm gonna have to try it

well what i would do is paint the inside with the copperish color then the outside with the color you want it but that me not you my friend!

Silver on the inside and color on the outside always looks cool. Once the paint gets scratched off the bare metal silver shows through.


Reed, ill be in town this weekend. I broke my bike pretty good last weekend so I'm out for the ride this weekend.

So I got my 1.9 iroks finally it was a lot easier to upload video than photos lol
