Evo Ix

[bai]

hi guys~ this is my WIP at the monent~

the body is really well made by fijimi! they have improved~








really like black evos~~

but the main problen of this kit is the suspension and brake
the original one kinda sucks and the ride hright is fit for a 4WD so work is needed~




first of all im lucky to mave brought a GTR Z tune in the past~ so i'll use the standard GTR brake from that kit~



drill the core out and cover the back



result is ok i think! also the original beake disk would be hidden very deep in the wheels and hardly visible from outside, this brings it out a little~



next up is lowering! will update soon

looks very good. is the black body after paint only or after a polish/wax ?

[bai]

hopefully one of these days will be of good weather so i can spray clear gloss~
