I had the same trouble, I lapped the MT field with my G2R revo and an hv and was told that it was because it was electric and was no challenge to run. So i showed up the next week with my 3.3 revo and not only lapped them again, but run close to or faster than the electric did. They shut up when i did that

Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise

I used an airbrush to do some highlights and shadows, like under the 'flames', where the colors break, and in the body creases at the rear of the body, etc.

I used the airbrush for the silver too... and rattle cans for the white, blue, and green..

Actually this body is sort of a mix of all my normal paint jobs... an experiment of sorts. I didn't like that it looks like two differnet schemes stuck together.

I used to do white flames on blue. Then I did a couple silver bodies... then went bright with the neon green for all my cars. This was an attempt to blend them all. :D
