They're both Proline Racing's Lexan 1992 Jeep Cherokee bodies made to fit the Axial SCX10, and they now make a couple '92 Comanche P/U's to fit the "Honcho" Tacoma cabbed, bedless p/u version of the SCX10.
My Traxxas Ford Fiesta Rally came in today
and I picked up the 2.4 Link reciever, second battery, parallel adapter, and some AA's so I can drive it tonight
I did strip the sticker graphics though, thought they were UGLY!
This kit was cleaner than I thought, no glaring sink marks and the seams were just noticeable enough to need cleaning up, so I debadged it at the same time....not like anybody wouldn't know it's a Viper without those there
The Super Clean did a fantastic jot of stripping the paint and primer off the front bumper!
Now all I have to do is re prime and paint the bumper then!
Here's the update pics
The body and hood ,painted MM Flat Black Lacquer;
Engine compartment pieces in the same flat black;
More assorted pieces and engine;
Interior painted GM Flame Red over a black primer, kinda looked like the Bordueax Red leather interior that my old Lebaron GTS had ;
Wheels painted Graphite Metallic;
Brake Rotors, painted Graphite Metallic with a Dull Coat in hopes that they'll look like Carbon Ceramic Rotors
And now the one problem piece....the nose had issues with the paint, so it's off to the Purple Pond, hopefully it will strip it pretty quickly and cleanly so I can refinish it!
Yup, I just home somebody doesn't decide that there needs to be a minivan series, just imagine how many sponsors you can fit on one of those
That does make me wonder..................
I picked up both kits today, the only differences I could find were the Box, Decal sheet (not impressed with the roof decal, btw), instructions, and there was mention made on the box that it was boxed up in Germany, but made in China
I've worked retail for long enough to realize that the older way too many people get, the more immature they become, then I've seen way too many adult RC racers who don't seem to have the levels of maturity their pre-teen competitors show
