Hand painted like with a brush? There was a guy in the area that did some of my slot car bodies like that and he did a great job. I dont know of too many guys doing that with RC bodies, but I think Klavy has a DS body that was done that way.

It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas Factory Works website

Sadly I'm not surprised. Imagine being the poor schlub applying decals to pre-painted bodies all day long for minimum wage(if that). Line madness for sure! I'm still upset that a body and paint cost so much. :cry: I love doing it, but $25 for the...

Just noticed that all the shock collars appear to be missing..... :o
