  and i made it look real purty!:D
  
  previously it was a red r34 i waver body and has about 1mm clearance at the front so i decided to make this a track only body. i ve learnt that bright colours are the best for these buggers on a track and there aint much brighter than flouro yellow!:smiley16:
  
  when i undercoated, some of the exposed red paint bled through, i figured once i started getting the colour down it would disappear. and it might have too, but when i went paint shopping i could only find flouro yellow in a polycarbonate paint. that s specifically for those clear 1:10 bodies as it eats into the plastic. so i knew i was gonna have interesting results!:p
  
  after all the colour the red bled through alot, but i actually like it and regret not sanding back more spots for the red to come through! i scored some troy lee designs stickers from the local bike shop and cut to fit. after some nice shiny krylon clear glaze i added the mesh for the vents up front. it s added 10kph already!:p:8ball:

  i tested it out before painting, on a flat track it’s fine. maybe the odd scrape. but anywhere else and it catches the ground big time. so it’s a “track only” body. i have another one and the front lasted about 2 minutes before it got trashed. i cut off the rest of the skirt and use that bod out back. ph2t has one with a pretty jagged skirt too! i did no lowering to it, that’s how it came. all i did was remove the rear spoiler and door pillars:8ball:
