Transformers 3 Bumblebee Camaro [R/C]

jcamaro · 07-04-2011, 01:00 AM

Well, HPI finally released their 2010 Camaro body as a clear lexan body. Previously it was only available as a flat black body that came with the Sprint 2 Drift kit. I just got my hands on the clear body on friday and spend saturday painting it. I haven't painted an RC body in over 2 years so I made a few rookie mistakes. But it still turned out pretty good. I got the the yellow color as close to the real Bumblebee color as I could. Tell me what you think:

Wow. Great job

Wow. Now all you have to do is make 10,000 of these. I'd buy it.

What's with the picknick table on the back?

(great effort though)

hate to tell you but, I do not think you'll fit in there nor is it street legal...I'm just saying...

Uh some of you guys do know thats a remote control car right? Sweet effort man, I'll try to find pics of my custom paint job on a H2 shell for my Savage.

That's a high wing spoiler, necessary for drifting!

This was my Savage that I painted over 2 years ago. I've since sold it but I really liked the F650 body. It was just a Savage X but the body I bought for it was actually for a Savage XL so it looked like a huge monster truck on the smaller frame.
