Just wondering since mine steer way too much and jumps off the tierod so I had to lower it.

Yes, i lowered it bit

Update:

Well the front bumper, rear bumper and the roof are done. The hood has one minor problem which has putty drying on it now, the body just needs the 1500g, and so does the hood. then it goes to the sink for a wash, and then i look all the parts over and hopefully, every thing is good for PAINT.

Thanks,
Fieldairy2

[QUOTE=fieldfairy2;164940]possibly. i don't know about the paint yet. just want to get the body work done.

Maybe you could do a tut on how do install one of those 9gm servos. Unless there is already one. which I haven't seen.

[fieldfairy2]

Possibly. I think i might. The only hard part is the wiring and once that is done is all how your car(chassis, upgrades) or how you want to set it up(servo horn, ball cups, just mod it to the stock servo gears) I have 2 other tuts coming though. (one of them is the secret in this thread with the video and in my avatar, is the second one)

Edit:
Update:

I just took the tape off of everything but the rear bumper(needed one more coat), and it looks great. The only major mistakes were the grill(the paint bled) and the side windows of the car(paint ripped off, a little bit). I just need to get some touch up paint(i don't have the colors of the car for touch up) and take a look at the rear bumper. All in all A-(through, not minus)A+

[fieldfairy2]

Well i just need to lower the front. As for the color it is solid but in certain light it looks orange/burnt orange(color i originally wanted but i don't have an airbrush.)...


















thanks. all comments welcome.

[KITT222]

that looks awsome!!! so smooth and clean... and i like the headlights!!

[fieldfairy2]

does that(paint) make up for the huge hood?. It loooks smaller now that it is done and assembled(besides lowering the front). It is actually more of a gold in person but in certain light is changes color a bit.
