Only recently I have driven my first ever RC race and I drove it with my Corally CCT chassis. However, at the time I didn’t have a body for it, but fortunately I could borrow an old body from a friend so I could still enter the competition. This body, however, was for a Corally C10 and not for a CCT, so it was quite a bit too wide and it looked kind weird, but it was still cool that I could use it for this race.
Now it’s different. It took some time to arrive, but finally I got the body I wanted for my CCT. A HPI Saleen S7R 190mm body unpainted. I painted it red and black using the same red paint as on the body of my Tamiya TA-05ifs. But instead of coating the body with white coating paint, I sprayed the entire thing over with black making the red tint much darker. It’s now nearly brown and I think it looks pretty great. I also got the limited version of the Saleen S7R body with 3D headlight buckets. The manual actually gives you the choice to simply paint the entire body and put on the normal headlight stickers to finish it, or you can cover the headlights with the headlight covers to prevent paint from getting there, then paint the headlight buckets and apply stickers on that and then put those inside the body. I chose the last option and I must say that it looks really great. Much better than just your normal headlight stickers. These headlights are true colour and 3D, just like fish. Even the CCT’s standard wheels look quite good, beit a bit small, under the body. So here are some pics.
