How to make the Bmax2 look a little older... ditch that body

Post by Mr. ED »

I hadn't owned a recent model for many years. So when I got this bmax2, I went through my stash of lexan to find something more to my liking than the included cab-FWD body.

The Tamiya Desert Gator body (released in 2005, how time flies) turned out a perfect fit with the chassis. I still had an uncut and unpainted one... resulting into this:

PS: sorry about the poor images: I forgot to clean the lens which clearly had some dust on it

The "lens clearly had dust on it". Funny choice of words! :P

The body looks great, a helluva lot better than the cab-forward ones.

Thanks guys.

I don't quite understand what's funny about that sentence?
There were some dust particles on the lens which, combined with the dark background and long exposure time, caused lighter spots in the images: on the same spot in every image.

You "clearly" stated that the pictures were unclear because of the dust. Just adding this for the sake of clarity :-) Car looks good how does it drive? Clearly better?

It was a funny sentence because of the unintentional contradiction in terms..."clearly dusty". :P

got it now :oops:

I haven't driven the car yet. It took forever to get from the previous owner to me.
(He never drove it either, just built it and stopped when he got to the body)
