Personally I do both, depends on my mood and trust of cut lines. Tamiya or kyosho bodies no problem. I do not trust AE cut lines or holes. I would get it mounted first then paint. For the body mount holes I like to leave the posts off and get the body fitting properly, then add the rear post by look...

When you want the cheapest Chinese motor money can buy, just say...

Over the last few months I have slowly rebuilt a Wild Willy. I picked it up cheap and found a few broken parts, modeled them and printed replacements including having a stainless steel 3d printed axle tube made. Soaked the body in LA's Awesome for a couple days to get the three layers of paint off. ...

While I was waiting for the TBG TQ10 body to make its way through the USPS black hole, I decided to slap together a Graphite basket case that has been warming the shelf for a number of years. I decided to be a little less strict on my OEM only rule, so there will be a few parts substitutions along t...

Didn't feel like dealing with liquid mask this time around so decided to do things like I would have done way back when, using masking tap and spray ...

Shocks built up from the "best of the rest" used bodies and caps with new springs. NIP rear shock tower.

I forgot the cutouts in the chassis sidewalls to let me use the short wheelbase position, but some minor trimming took care of that. Now the wheelbase is a good match for the body.

FWIW, I like my 40th just as it is. The nylon is nice and white, the anno is brilliant gold/orange and the zinc and black oxide plated parts look good as well. The rest of my RC10 collection is old, the anno is faded and the nylon looks dingy by comparison and some of them have been peroxide treated...

They already have the graphite chassis and bezerk rc does the coffin shaped graphite chassis as well.

From what I saw while it was up...
3 piece wheels, narrow fronts... So it's a 7001 original truck
Gold shocks and bushings... So it's a 7011 sport truck
