Sticker sets for Inferno GT bodies? - 09-06-2006, 01:05 PM

Doing a rally car conversion for one of my 1/8th scale buggies and I'm in need of a sticker set for the Subaru body. Anyone know where to get them, I can't find them at my usual places. Finding a body was a pain and its $50 w/no stickers.

Should be cool to see it run when its done.

Have one of these talented painters lay some sick paint on it

Maybe they can Do a paint job that looks like the stickers somewhat that way you have painted on graffix instead of stickers.

That is a thought I had, but I'm not quite sure if I want to lay down the cash for it, I was possibly going to attempt it myself.

BTW, finally picked up the body. Als had every body in STOCK!!! $50 though, much better than the $75 price i saw everywhere else.

The other thought though not as cool is to make it look like a tuner car. Carbon fiber painted hood, subaru blue and some body graphics but that is an expensive paint job.

Als had a painted one in stock but it was $120!!!! Ouch...

A clear lexan garage for the 1:10 TC. Cool.

Getting the right scale stickers for that shell is the challenge. It just so damn big! How about internal pictures of stickers scaled up to fit, and printed on a good printer?

I did pick up several sets of 8x11 clear adhesive paper which I can do most of the stickers on if I so need to. I have access to several Kodak match print printers that are extremely color accurate and print at resolutions up to 3200dpi. So I can so some wicked stickers.

Still, if I go that route then I need some very high res images of the 2004 rally car to build the stickers from.

I wish I could just find the sticker set, I wish kyosho would sell them.

A pure paint body would be kick ass, but I'm not quite ready to spend the money on it. I need this ready by January. The mechanics are easy as pie. I already have everything and the engine/pipe is already on its way. 2spd is already at home.

That body is huge ain't it.

I hesitate to call too many things 'huge', but yes, that shell is huge.

Remember the commercial with the guys calling each other huge? It was huge. Totally.

The HPI 1/10th scale superwide bodies are ALMOST wide enough. but that wouldn't give any room for suspension travel. This body will give me that.

Should be cool when done.

I saw your post, the decals are too large. I'm better off making my own than hacking them up to make them fit. The head lights are wrong as well, those are for the bugeye models.
