DRESSED UP DEFENDER

2021-06-01 - TOM PARSONS « WINSTON-SALEM, NC

Tom’s Traxxas TRX4 shows what can be done to a nearly stock truck to dress it up and give it a unique personality. He starts with a TRX4 Defender 110 and added some Gmade SR-02 wheels, a few carefully chosen handmade scale details and some custom paint. Tom painted the body on the outside surface to retain the matte finish of Tamiya’s AS-19 Intermediate Blue and AS-20 Insignia White paints. He put an extra layer of Tamiya PS Silver down before the color coats to help them stick to the slick Lexan shell.
