Having no time and finding 45 minutes where I could do what I wanted, I figured I'd get a super quick paint job in after repairing my gun to do the last 2 paid paint jobs I'll be doing.

One color BLACK
Well gun sprays good again with the new neadle and tip so next day off I'll get on the paid jobs.

Anyway I've been building this over time still got a ways to go but finally looks like a truck.
XL-1 version that will end up VXL spec with a brushless system in it I will be testing out and reviewing.
1/10 RC Car Aeolian 45A ESC Coming from hong kong and very cheap.

OK on to the truck.

Thanks Navy, I figured with the black rims and black chassis it would look pretty cool with a classic black paint job.
Got one rim I had to replace in the set when I recieved them, I'll paint it black when I get 15 minutes.
Ordered all the parts I needed to convert it to VXL spec trans last night, should be ready for the brushless system by time it gets here :D
