Back at it, finally! This was supposed to be a quickie, but the scope of the project has expanded significantly, so I figured I better start documenting.

Thats awesome.

What colour did you use for the engine?

I'm abit obsessed with unlimited class trophy trucks atm, and would love to build one, but I can't seem to find any models of them. Looks like I'll just have to buy a £1000 rc car to scratch that itch...

Thanks guys!

The engine color is actually a Duplicolor rattle can of Detroit Diesel Alpine Green, which turned out to be a decent enough match for the typical Mercedes diesel paint job. Goes on a little thicker than I'd prefer, but is manageable with light coats.

...I suppose scratchbuilding a trophy truck could always be an option!

Perfect. Its the colour I've been looking for for my maxxpro/m1070/m911 engines!

One more sub-assembly complete. Everything will get slathered in mud once the last three groups are done!
