Well, as some of you may know, I was messing with some of those stretchy book covers for the spare tire cover I made for my Sledge Hammer's new Bronco body. Well, I had the idea to use one of those here too! It was pretty darn easy to do too! I just took the cover and slid one side over the back. Then I had to cut the sleeve side on the front part until I was around a 1/2 inch from the end. Then I slide it over and bam! Cockpit cover for added realism! . I ended up bunching the access up in the front and I twisted it up so it would stay on better. I used some wire, for now, to keep the bundle together...

I think it looks pretty cool! The blue matches the blue in the graphics too! I kind of like how it doesn't cover up the Villain EX graphic too! I still have to figure out how to get the hatch to stay down lower, but I'll mess with that later. My antenna is tucked under the hatch...

Happy boating!

Looks good! Maybe you should go into production. The trailer makes it look even better.

Thank you! I'm glad you like it! Here is a picture of it all behind my E-Maxx. The picture was taken in the fall, so my cover isn't on there.
