I call bull...useless without more pics and writeup, j/k. nice work, car to go in depth?

 

[project x]

it was pretty ez, since it was a slash body i had to cut out holes for everything, and the post holes don't line up either, so while the body is clear go ahead and mark where you should drill. And the biggest thing is to cut the back fenders so they don't touch the wheels. not to bad, pretty str8 forward. i remembered the slash bodies being way to big for a 10th scale truck and really wanted a new body, so i took a gamble and it paid off.

Is this a porsche shop or an Audi Shop. Looks like a few Audis in there in the first picts. Very nice thought.

 

[project x]

yeah one side is audi's and the other is Porsche, its a Porsche/Audi dealer

 

[Larsenracing]

Sweet, I was kind of wondering that. I love my Audi/VW's and wish I could afford a Porsche, maybe someday.

[NiteRida]

paint

what is that stripe down the middle of the body??? is it flames or what..its kinda hard to tell but that paint job is awesome and did u do it by airbrush or can??

 

[project x]

well its not flames, even though it does kinda look like that, its really just an orange stripe that i put zig zags in with my finger! lol and the black is just rattle can spray paint

Nice, would it fit the standard wheelbase Savage?

Question - What did You do so the body would fit? I just bought an XL and will be converting it. One of the things I'm after is a different body. The one you picked out is real nice.

the slash bodies has some flat spots on it where the body posts go through.... so basically you have to messure and lay out where the xl posts will go through....
