Got a new body for the Maxx.

its my first MT body and took some getting used to the super thick lexan.

Its a Proline Chevy body.

a few irregularities in the cuts as i found out a little extra trimming was required to make the body clear the front bumper.

let me know what u guys think.

and since it was gonna be a bashing body i went with simple black.

Next up dyeing the rear wheels and the entire chassis black.

I prefer the stock body though :)

ajit4647

Even i love the stock body. but that keeps getting ripped pretty easily. this is much thicker lexan. so hoping that it holds out more when bashing.  ;D

Oh nice job then :) Pleas epost more pics from different angles :)

shashank

Good painting job ! I thought proline body's came painted from factory itself. What kind of paint did you use ?
Traxxas Revo 3.3

ajit4647

as far as i know all the MT bodies come clear. they need to be cut out, trimmed and painted.

even the decal sheet was not precut.

I used a mild scotchbrite to sand the inside a bit. then sprayed a plastic adhesion promoter. then sprayed black from a Bosny spray can.

ok i didn't know it was a clear body. I saw a few online for revo which were pre-painted, so thought it'll be the same for the e-maxx

Had my first major crash and broke a few parts yesterday.

was at almost max speed and hit a rock with the front left tire. could not see it and went head on.  :banghead:

Damage assessment:-

2 Shocks.
1 lower arm.
servo saver.
one servo
one turnbuckle end.
lowerarm bulkhead hingepin.
and a tiny crack in the bulkhead where the pin broke.

my fault completely. should have made sure i had a clear view of where it was going. but anyway i guess its part of being in this hobby. :)

now the wait for the parts.
