Boolean21's Tamiya Highlift Tundra - new paint scheme - Ivan Stewart Toyota Theme


Got this truck used from a fellow SGCrawlers member....


The Tamiya Highlift Tundra... Toyota Tundra is one of my dream truck... had been drooling on the 1:1 Tundra since years back.....


Here's to document some works on the build....


It took several nights to complete the whole paint job...
sprayed 1 color per night...


The Tundra...






Swapped on some 1.9 wheels and tyres on the Tundra....











Next.... dismantle the truck body, parts and accessories....






sanded the cab, bed and tail gate....




Primed with Tamiya fine primer from a previous paint job....
and sprayed the whole truck with Tamiya Pearl White as the base color...




masking the Ivan Stewart Toyota theme design....




spraying on the Red...






waited a day for the red to dry.....








masking the tail gate to spray on matte black for the truck bed and tail gate handle...




masked the cab and sprayed on the Orange....





Truck bed and tail gate matte blacked....








masked the cab and sprayed on the Yellow....




done for the 3 colors....
forgot to take pics of masking and spraying the bottom of the cab in Light Gun metal....




did a few clear coats on the truck cab and bed sides before masking the window seals for matte black spray.....




masked the body and sprayed on the matte black....










finally.... after a few nights of painting and masking..... here's the completed paint job...






proceeded to assemble the parts and here's the Ivan Stewart Toyota Tundra....

Hahaha....

This is still too entry level for your high standards leh....

haven't installed any electronics in the Tundra since last painted it in August 2014....

about time to do it

took off the cab....





dug out some spare servos..... one for steering, one for gear change.... see if the servo horns fit.....



end up... the towerpro servo didnt fit the horn.... so dug out another Hobbyking high torque servo for the steering...




and the hitec servo will be used for the gear change...


 


used a Hobbywing Quicrun brushed ESC.... and installed the ESS on it...
 


Done! some poser shots!





thanks for looking!

keep RC-ing!
