Just when I think you can't do better than last time - BOOM - you come out with this. Not only does the body look spectacular on that car, but the paint scheme is just beyond words... You are an inspiration to us all, Chris! Great job once again, my friend. Big thumbs up!!!
I always have been Impressed with your work!!! And even though I've been painting for over 37 years, you still have taught me several tricks to improve my painting!! 👍👍🍻🍺🍻 LOVE THE BODY! Look so good. I had so many Hot Wheels as a Boy in the 70's. That brings me back. You just gave me another idea!! Of COURSE I remember Herbie the Love Bug! Yes the real, Classic Series of movies - NOT the Lindsay Lohan bullshit. Now I want to do a Herbie Body too.... Carmine 💥 ⛽
Chris! Dude! Awesome! Where do I begin! Hot wheels!,Herbie!, Proline discount! The body came out amazing and looks like it was meant for this truck. Fits like a glove! Really like the cutouts for the shocks and additive Lexan panels in rear! Ace job once again. Very inspiring. Thanks for the tips as always. I think the two things that detour me away from painting sometimes is the lack of light from underneath and the Picasso that I always blow out of my nose no matter how long I try to hold my breath!lol. Thanks again for a freaking quality video and paint job once again! Thanks Chris! Oh and Proline discount! You rock bro!
Another inspirering video! I ordered my VW Baja Bug yesterday for my Nitro Slash. Along with the delivery comes a LED light kit and some mirrors to complete the look. I hope i remember all your tips and dont mess it up! :P
Yes indeed. I have a full size 1973 VW Bug in Dakota-Yellow!!! U get more Attention from People (especially women) when u drive around with this classic car. Far more attention than u would get with a ferrari! Trust Me"""
Brought back bugs in the bug ...from france....do you have to declare them? leagle bugs? nice one bra!!! Oh and the hot wheel bug rocks !!! tees up !!! & scribed!!
What wheels? Lightbar too pls? I'm converting an ECX torment 4x4 (1/10) and these would be my main needed parts. I know what the body is, but those wheels and tyres look perfect as well as the lightbar. Thanks!
hey Chris for Christmas i got the scx10 dingo and i decided to paint the body black and paint all the fake beadlocks on the wheels and the real and fake bolts on the fender flares lime green my dad told my regular spray paint would work fine....... it does not work at all the black paint is chipping off in some spots and in other spots it wont come off. do you have any sugestion on how to remove it
Hi Derik! Getting the right type of paint is crucial, even with RC specific paints I had horrible mishaps in the past. You can try to see if you can flex the body a bit, if the paint is real bad it wil flake off entirely. Another option is the more coarse side of a kitchen sponge and hot soapy water. If all else fails, DOT3 brake fluid will take it off, but it will leave you with some cloudy lexan. I hope this helps and I hope you manage to sort it, if you can't you can always try to paint the outside or just stickerbomb it to oblivion! ;)
Great result. A started to watch you videos a while ago but I mist this one ;). Coincidentally I was also thinking to put this body an old brushless converted buggy (I don't like the nitro engine holes in the old body ;)) but I still have to make some measurements if it will fit. Where do you buy your bodies? I don''t like the prices in Holland (compared to the US).
rubiker Hoi Rubiker. Bedankt voor de aardige woorden, prijzen in Nederland zullen met transport en BTW altijd hoger zijn dan in de US, dat is helaas niet anders. Er zijn erg veel winkels die Proline in het assortiment hebben, kijk eens bij de hobbywinkel om de hoek of ze iets kunnen bestellen voor je. Groeten!
Chris you are awesome, I'm just getting back into the game. I own about 5 cars and my collection is grown. Love what you doing. I just got the Axial SCX 10 II.
Very cool paint work. I always love watching you come up with these great, creative paint schemes. You put so much time and effort into these bodies, do you bash these cars and destroy the bodies after putting all this work in to make them look so good? I would have a hard time doing that to something I spent so much time on, but I guess you could look at it as you enjoy it while it lasts, and then just do another one once the previous one is done, right?
Great video Chris , you always do awesome paint jobs. Crisp lines and great detail. Great Job. What do you use to mask ? Keep doing these great video's , I'll watch them all .
Hey Hemistorm Ik heb gewoon zelf de axial exo RTR en wil graag ook doen wat jij deed. Kun je hier mij vertellen wat ik allemaal nodig heb om iets te maken wat jij ook heb gemaakt? Ook welke banden heb je gebruikt? groetjes uit Nederland
HappygamerzHD Tanki Hoi Tanki, als je de link aanklikt naar de blog van Axial kun je de hele lijst met delen vinden. De banden zijn Proline Gladiators. Groetjes!
I do read them all, and try to reply to all, haha. I use 3M 2367 tape. If you take that type number to your 3M dealer they should be able to help you out, perhaps with a successor of it. Good luck!
This was a real simple paintjob, so I didn't have the patience to wait for liquid mask to dry. In some cases tape is highly underrated I think, it works great for me, and I like how "ghetto fabulous" it is. Tape and cans, that's how I started, and I still love it, I probably will still do it like that when I'm (really) old.
that's easy for you. I can't afford have the stuff you have or use. I'm a cancer survivor going on four years. after that for years ago I won't up with double Kenny failure. So I'm on disability and I can't afford very much. In fact I only own 1 RC truck and it's the cheapest that I could afford, it's an Everest 10 CRAWLER. I have managed to buy a couple extra body's. over the last six months. But I can't even afford the rite paint . I've had too use no name type of paint that I pick up at the local dollar store. and I can't afford that table light to see better. Cuz I have trouble seeing to begin with cuz I'm also it diabetic. Anyhow I love your videos, you have awesome trucks and great paint Jobs.
My bodies usually serve me a very long time, but eventually they do wear out. I'm glad you like the videos and sorry to read about your hardships. I hope your spirits will be high, your chin up and your health improving. And most of all, have fun. Fun doesn't attach to a budget. :)
Who the hell hit the dislike button must be some kind of moron? Very cool RC if Axial dont release a bug version of the terra there mad. It really looks like it came out the box that way. Did exactly that put down too much paint now having to wait for it to dry before can back it. Hope you could check it out and let me know what you think when its finished buddy?
I am not surprised at all once again ... better looking than the way the factory would do it ..
Your paint jobs are unbelievable !!!
Just when I think you can't do better than last time - BOOM - you come out with this. Not only does the body look spectacular on that car, but the paint scheme is just beyond words... You are an inspiration to us all, Chris!
Great job once again, my friend. Big thumbs up!!!
Thank you, Vasco! I hope your airco is working as well as my heating system is!
Every time I look at one of your videos they get better an better 👍🏾
You did the VW Bug the right justice , very nice job. 2 big Thumbs up
the original herbie was awesome, the body looks awesome!
I always have been Impressed with your work!!! And even though I've been painting for over 37 years, you still have taught me several tricks to improve my painting!! 👍👍🍻🍺🍻
LOVE THE BODY! Look so good. I had so many Hot Wheels as a Boy in the 70's. That brings me back.
You just gave me another idea!! Of COURSE I remember Herbie the Love Bug! Yes the real, Classic Series of movies - NOT the Lindsay Lohan bullshit. Now I want to do a Herbie Body too....

Another great video and custom work!
Asplenia.

Another inspirering video! I ordered my VW Baja Bug yesterday for my Nitro Slash. Along with the delivery comes a LED light kit and some mirrors to complete the look. I hope i remember all your tips and dont mess it up! :P
IRising IPhoenix I'm looking forward to see the outcome, keep me posted!
I can send you a lil gallery if i am finished.
like the design..great work
Love it, Chris!
Really beautiful work! =)
Awesome details
Yup. I like this. I was going to get an F150 body for my Arrma but I love the idea of a sleek baja bug.
+M5000 Beetle shells never go out of style!
Yes indeed. I have a full size 1973 VW Bug in Dakota-Yellow!!! U get more Attention from People (especially women) when u drive around with this classic car. Far more attention than u would get with a ferrari! Trust Me"""
you're the next troy lee!
Dam sick job bro you do amazing work bro
I gave you a thumbs up because based on your accent I can't figure out where you're from and that's kind of awesome.
I really like you work! I think I will be doing the same with my VW beetle body.
Great job as usual!!
Cheers Scott!
So beautiful your so talented
That is very kind of you, Rod! :)
Just perfect !
Sweet ! I want one of your paint jobs
Pretty slick buddy
love the in the hankerchief comment i laughed hard

Really cool!
I will have to show you Project: Mini, my rally mini cooper, a lot of what I am doing to it was inspired by your body work!!
Your skills are insane :)
That's an awesome job. I wish I could do something like that.
Just give it a try, Mario. It is way easier than it seems!
Brought back bugs in the bug ...from france....do you have to declare them? leagle bugs? nice one bra!!! Oh and the hot wheel bug rocks !!! tees up !!! & scribed!!
Can you please put a link to your back light or pointing me in the right direction.. I have searched but cannot find one like it anywhere??
😥 too good Hemistorm!!!!
What wheels? Lightbar too pls? I'm converting an ECX torment 4x4 (1/10) and these would be my main needed parts. I know what the body is, but those wheels and tyres look perfect as well as the lightbar. Thanks!
Exo terra rims and lightbar, Proline tires. Have fun!
The flat clear coat can that be used inside the body before painting with other colors to get a flat color
Siiiick paint job
Thank you!
You are a damm genius!
perfecto amigo gran trabajo
This I just beautiful. Do you know of any other bodies that would fit an Exo?
I've seen someone fit a Ford F250 for the Honcho SCX10 to it, dropped down, looked sick! Maybe next winter.
Very cool, I would have a problem playing with it if it looked that good.
They look even better with some use on them!
Which proline bug body is it. There are 3 different ones
AWESOME!
doyou think the way you cut that bug body out it would fit a rustler?
Sweet v.w bug but can you do that to a nitro stampede... And how (are you able to show )...
Forgot to mention its my metallic lime green Slash F150 Raptor shell would love your opinion on matey
hey Chris for Christmas i got the scx10 dingo and i decided to paint the body black and paint all the fake beadlocks on the wheels and the real and fake bolts on the fender flares lime green my dad told my regular spray paint would work fine....... it does not work at all the black paint is chipping off in some spots and in other spots it wont come off. do you have any sugestion on how to remove it

awsome thanks for the info HemiStorm RC - Custom RC builds, painting videos and more
Dailing up for internet? Wow that takes me back years dude.
So glad i dont have to do that anymore and can enjoy alot more speed as well.
Haha, yeah! Slow as can be! On the positive side, I can look at the forest and deer when I upload. :)
Thats true. As you know we dont have alot of these places. All i see looking out of the window in my hobby room is the wall of the neighbours lol
Great result. A started to watch you videos a while ago but I mist this one ;). Coincidentally I was also thinking to put this body an old brushless converted buggy (I don't like the nitro engine holes in the old body ;)) but I still have to make some measurements if it will fit. Where do you buy your bodies? I don''t like the prices in Holland (compared to the US).
rubiker Hoi Rubiker. Bedankt voor de aardige woorden, prijzen in Nederland zullen met transport en BTW altijd hoger zijn dan in de US, dat is helaas niet anders. Er zijn erg veel winkels die Proline in het assortiment hebben, kijk eens bij de hobbywinkel om de hoek of ze iets kunnen bestellen voor je. Groeten!
where did you get that light bar setup?
From Proline Racing.
what is your roll cage i never seen that??????????
masteeeeer flex That is the Axial Exo Terra
Cool paintjob but i loved it without that red and yellow.
Where can you find the lamp?
At building suppliers, but you can also check out more recent LED panel lights, they work well too.
Chris you are awesome, I'm just getting back into the game. I own about 5 cars and my collection is grown. Love what you doing. I just got the Axial SCX 10 II.
Very cool paint work. I always love watching you come up with these great, creative paint schemes.

I destroy them indeed over time, but that is all part of the game I guess. :)
Great video Chris , you always do awesome paint jobs. Crisp lines and great detail.
Great Job.
What do you use to mask ?
Keep doing these great video's , I'll watch them all .
Mooi man 👍
Bedankt man!
Sweet!!!
Do you paint body's professionally
Hi Joe, just as a hobbyist. I know the mask makes me look all business, hahaha!
Hey Hemistorm
Ik heb gewoon zelf de axial exo RTR en wil graag ook doen wat jij deed. Kun je hier mij vertellen wat ik allemaal nodig heb om iets te maken wat jij ook heb gemaakt?
Ook welke banden heb je gebruikt?

awesome paint scheme.........why he turning tires on a four wheel drive
mason101592 Hi Mason, I don't really understand the tire comment, please elaborate.
Awesome
I don't know if you read all the comments but what masking tape do you use. Btw your videos are truly AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING
I do read them all, and try to reply to all, haha. I use 3M 2367 tape. If you take that type number to your 3M dealer they should be able to help you out, perhaps with a successor of it. Good luck!
oh great i have this body laying around too....
Have fun with it!
That is sweet Chris....and I agree with you the old Disney version of the Herbie VW was the best...I only watched part of the remake it was terrible.
The Disney classic is just that, a classic! I remember watching them over and over when I was a kid. :)
Why dont you use liquid mask instead of tape?
This was a real simple paintjob, so I didn't have the patience to wait for liquid mask to dry. In some cases tape is highly underrated I think, it works great for me, and I like how "ghetto fabulous" it is. Tape and cans, that's how I started, and I still love it, I probably will still do it like that when I'm (really) old.
Making this !
Cool! Send me a pic when you're done, I'm curious!
Will do most def, im slammed with my scale stuff right now, but getting my exo back up and going & lookin sexy is on the top of my list !!!

It indeed comes with the kit version of the Exo Terra.
It's a bf injection from gta 5
