Tamiya Striker -- Overkill!!!

[tecnica2001]

Here's another one of my many projects, this one I picked up in New Jersey along with a Traxxas hawk 2 and rad 2. I called it "Overkill" cause I'll end up doing more to this car than it should be done to it. I started by buying Thorp Dirt Burners outdrives, dog bones and axles, although I found out that DF03 rear universals might fit the striker....

Not wanting to go too crazy on aesthetics, and not wanting to spray paint the car, I had some green vinyl available and decided to cover it in vinyl....

Just need to find some decals or make some decals....

Also added a new wing, rear bumper, shock towers, and transmission case....

Gonna fix the front pogo sticks?

[tecnica2001]

I bought a sonic fighter, mainly to switch out the front shock mounts, I installed some rc10 gold front shocks already on it, need to do the rears...

Little update on this project....

Nice looking project. I picked up one of these in New Jersey also!

[tecnica2001]

Dyed everything that wasn't green to black, added the Tamiya Sonic Fighter Wing, Traxxas wheels with Hotshot tires...

Nice, that actually looks TONS better than box-art.

That turned out awesome! I love the theme and it fits to a "T"!

Now I just need for my 16 year old DAUGHTER to paint the letters on the tires....

Need a machine gun on top

Nice.

Went to the local hobby store and these caught my attention, brought them home and tried them on the Striker.....not sure if I'm completely sold on them, but my daughters like them.....

Due to the limited choice of gearing, I really have to advise against running those tires on this car.
Is the first pic intntionally spelling "Beetle Striker"?
Good job on the overall look!
