Hmm, battery strangely resembles a large spare fuel can. Draw in the X with a sharpie! :D Excellent work Jason.

You've become an incredible scale builder, and I love seeing your stuff. One thing that keeps making the trip to XMS worth coming.

The feeling is the same here.

All I can say is WOW! How do you get it all cut so perfectly, and glued to seamlessly?

**** looking good you should make the battery into a fuel cell and just use styrene to make into a square add straps and use heatshrink to make the 2 wires into 1 so it looks like a hose

The best part that I like about almost all of your projects is that they are NOT shelf queens, you put so much work into them and are not a wee bit afraid of getting them dirty, that is just pure awesomeness. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work man, what on your mind for the next project?

Need more light in your photos. They are too dark to see a lot of the beautiful detail. :nod:

Not to sound like a broken record, but you're doing a great job with this. ;)

Cheers,
Kyle.

you should REALLY be a service provider that makes custom stuff and sells em, but not for the 1/10 scale stuff, but for the smaller scale cars :D im sure the 1/18 guys would pay A LOT for your work....

you'd be rich!!!!

i love this
if i had enough money, id make an offer, but idk how much to pay.. i need like over $1000 for sure!!!!!
lol if u want... you can have all my xmods :D lmao

Lol, he is a service provider, just not a parts maker.....yet.....

he is service provider for custom body work, but what i meant is make full on rtr cars for people with custom work done to the cars(like this one, where the model chassis was used for the real chassis..... and ect

Yea, I guess,......Losi MRC $120, Hilux Model Kit $30, Epoxy and Styrene $20, Sold for $250??.....Priceless lol, but then again.....it takes sooo much labor....

Haha, I'll think about that, when I finish all my projects, and have some free times, I'll think about making scale accessories for small scale R/C cars.

Update: Have been busy, and didn't have much time to work on this one, but I got some new stuff for her. I'm in the process of making the heavy duty front bumper and the high lift jack.

I already got a few light scratches on her, its not noticeable, but no rock crawler is perfect right? ;) The heavy duty bumper is what I'm using for now, but maybe later I will build a tube bumper for it.

Thanks momo, those are my 1st ever small scale axles, so I don't know how are they compare to the SSMT axles, but they are amazing, the bottom of the axles have many impact with the rocks, but they barely have any scratches/marks on them.

I did the texture with the Tamiya spray can, the grey interior is done with Tamiya grey primer, the bucket seats are done with the Tamiya Matt Black. It's my first time trying the texture effect, and I'm pretty happy with the result. :p
