RC Killerbody Subaru BRZ with Bodykit Part 2.

Rear wing, drift tyres and low rider type wheels from thebuildrc.com Aluminium wheels from TeamDC.




Much masking to be done. I also reverse cut vinyl decals for the inside.

 


Grunge pattern on the bodykit with createx Auto-Air paints.


 All the fluorescent orange was left semi transparent to let light through.

RC Killerbody Subaru BRZ with Bodykit Part 1.

I love the look and detail of the Killerbody shells, loads of extras. The Subaru looks great and you can get a bodykit for it too.

KillerBody Wide Body Full Kit No1-Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ

The Bodyshell has 10 indents, 5 either side for side lights, I plan to make a Knight Rider type light for this using the Arduino Pro Mini.


A few years back I did a HPI Supra on a Tamiya TA-02 in Hankook livery (see pic below), I'll do something similar.

HPI E-Firestorm Sandrail/Baja Type Buggy part 5


Made a wide front shock tower using the bottom of the original front and top of the rear tower. I'll get a radiator or intercooler for in front of the shock tower.

 


The body panels are pretty much finished, just decals left to do
I took it for a run with the 1.9's and it was not so good, so back to the 2.2's. 


Added lights front and rear. I think I'll get two big round lights for the front near the hood.




Not sure quite what to do with the rear yet, maybe a scale engine and exhausts?

HPI E-Firestorm Sandrail/Baja Type Buggy part 3

Made a temporary body but I quite like the look. I'll take it for a test run tomorrow and decide what shocks and wheels to get.
