My wife has been begging me to help her get into racing. Her birthday is at the end of the month so one of the things I got her is an RC-10 GT Factory team truck with an OS .12. I was planning on letting and helping her build it so she can see how everything works, but I wanted to paint the body for her. I'm pretty good at doing bodies. I know she would like something that is feminine, but looks kind of menacing. I was thinking maybe I'd paint the hood pink with a fade into red and purple. The hood would also have a big daisy on it that looks like it's being ripped apart by high speed wind. I also thought I'd paint a black strip across the top of the windshield that says "Girls Rock" in white letters. Anyways, I'd like to hear some of your ideas as well. My wife doesn't know I got this for her and I'd like the body to be a surprise as well. Anybody have any good ideas? Throw em at me. Chances are, I can paint it. Her birthday is at the end of this month so I don't have too much time! Thanks for any advice! Matt

Ask Oval Queen what she did to a body after skinning a stuffed animal. Hehe.

AHHH HA HA HA! That's a great idea! I'll bet it's a pain to clean though. I wanted to get a van body or a expedition body for my T-Maxx and do it up like the van in the movie Dumb & Dumber. That truck that the Oval Queen made gave me a funny idea. I'd like to get some of that long stringy fake fur and cover the truck in that. Then I'd get some big bouncy springs about 10 inches long and stick some big eyes on top. If I can find the right body though, I'll do the Dumb and Dumber van.

I wonder if Oval Queen has a problem with the kids in the pits petting her Maxx...

Anyway...

How about pink, with WWII type eyes and shark teeth, and glue a cotton ball on the back, like a rabid bunny rabbit...

Geez I'm warped

A rabid bunny rabit. Thats great! I love that idea. Maybe that'll be my TC body. Aerodynamics will be shot to the world down under(not australia). Finally a use for all them stuff animals.

Splatter paint the car, take a pactra pink spray can and spray it into a jar, take a small paintbrush and splatter the front with pink... do the same to the back, only splatter IT with white..... Then paint the front white and the rear pink.... I did this with red/blue on my XXX-NT body and it looks great
