Well what do you do when there is a dangerous storm on your doorstep well you work on your RC cars! I decided to make the Montero a Rally Racer when I first saw it this is the clear body that came with the already painted on. I took and painted it Pearl Blue, Added the Tire on the back, and the white around the bottom edge is actually vinyl tape heated with a heat gun to stick real good.

I added the details and then the decals and well this is the end product hope ya’ll like it!

Nice.... Not a fan of the white bottom though. Looks like it disappears on a white background.

Other than that, looks bitchin. Really like the tires.

Nice, SWG. I dig the color choice and the decals, and I'm a sucker for those wheels... I've got a set or two I'm waiting to do something with.

Shit, I feel stupid for not ordering one of those bodies... that looks like one of the best ones to come outta the German deal.

I just noticed the gold center on the spare wheel... I really like that with the blue. That could be nice all around.

Looks very sweet; but Payasso has a point, it's unnatural to have it on a white background. That white stripe really needs some mud/dirt on it, or atleast under it.

Go outside and play, take many pics.

Ohh good idea. Not a total mud up, but just a splash or two. Either way, grats on being the first to fully mod one of these bad boys. Looks 100% killer.

For weathering you should get them Train Weathering paints they sell at your hobby shop.
Your Montero is hot!

That jump is insane, love that pic.

HAHAHAHAHA!!! Now THAT'S how you do weathering! From now on, you weather like that! That jump is so killer I only saw the bit's shadow the first 2 times I looked at it.

I don't mean paint weathering, I ment just find a nice patch of bare dirt (preferably loose enough you can make little piles of incredibly fine powder of it with your hand) and go play in it for atleast 2 battery charges. That way you get completely natural, scale weathering, and it'll just wipe off if you don't like it. (see, dirt ON the white stripe) It's so wicked seeing them compete offroad, but when you get to the winners circle it get's cleaned up. You don't have to mud it up, but atleast take it outside for some pics (dirt UNDER the white stripe).

It looks like it's ready for the Paris Dakar Rally. So unless it's just gonna be a shelf-queen, we gotta see it with some dirt! (And hopefully some action shots of it getting dirty.)

Nice work dude!!

That woman in the pics is awesome, I can see the hand on her hip and her neck moving in a circular motion while she's saying,

"you don't touch my car man!"
