379 - How The Rescue of BBX's Wheels Turned Out

This is how the BBX wheels turned out after the chrome removal and the attempt to save them after a fail in dyeing. Fine primer, yellow paint and a light coat of gloss.

Sprays have been applied only on the outer face this is why it is flaking from other parts. Result seems quite acceptable, should I use it?

378 - Impossible To Resist

 


The paint on my BBX's body was just dry and I couldn't resist placing it on the car to see how is coming out. To my it looks great, doesn't it?

377 - Possible ESC Swap

Having a chat on Tamiya Club forums I learnt that some guys remove the ESC canopy from their BBX.

From then I'm considering that option but I don't feel easy in keeping the brittle Robitronic Speedstar 2 so exposed and I'm planning to swap it to my unused MTroniks TT60 that seems to be tougher and claims to be waterproof.
