Anyway, you might have noticed my recent fire sales, but those are all secondary projects. I have a small fleet of keepers, and this X2 is one of them. I restored the shock bodies on a lathe, turning them down enough to use RC10 shock collars. It just worked out that way due to the heavy amount of pitting in the aluminum. Unfortunately one of the tires was streched out by alot, so I cut out a section and glued it tighter... works for me!
I went with metallic blue because I wanted something different for my persoanl shelfer. The only decals on the body are the logos and Gil Losi sig. Even the number is painted, and its all painted using lexan rattle cans. Now that I have the paint masks pretty much completed, I will be doing more box art and modified box art X2 bodies.
So, I kinda restored the wheels on the lathe, but they are 2 different shades of orange. I'll be painting them tommorow with Tamiya Camel Yellow, which matches the yellow in the paint and decals. Then I'll take better pics in natural sunlight. Its hard to tell but the orange in the body is Pactra flourescent orange, neon baby! I will post updates as they come. Check it out, hope you like it
