Thanks!

LOL, sounds like a deal. I hate painting bodies! I've actually thought about running an unpainted one. I usually wreck them far too fast to spend lots of time painting them. :)

Those mounts took a good 6 hours of work, not counting the painting. Cutting with a hacksaw, fine cutting with a nibbling tool, dremeling the corners, and filing the edges is very time consuming. And I absolutely HATE it when I make a mistake and am off by a couple of mm's and have to start over!

How funny - I'm just the opposite. I threw together my battery tray and for the time being velcro'd and ziptied my ESC to the diff top plate. My Rx is servo taped to the battery tray - As for the body I spent about 4 hours on it if you include the 3 coats of liquid mask and the 5 different applications. White, light blue, Translucent blue topped with pearl blue then Faskolor fascoat to seal and protect everything. I busted out my old Paasche VL airbrush that I used to do t-shirts and murals with and am finally trying my hand at rc paint. The whole backward layering thing is taking some getting used to. It's fun though - I do enjoy the painting more so than the metal fabrication. Here is one I did lately on a *cough* *cough* nitro GT2
