Pimped out Mini Losi Rock Crawler...

I had someone ask if I could wrap a Losi Mini Rock Crawler today. I went down to the local rc car store and picked up a new Losi Mini Crawler in black. I went straight back to the shop and made templates of all the areas that needed to be wrapped. I am not going to go into how I make templates right now for photoshop.

Anyway... I tossed together a little artwork and printed it on 3M vinyl just like we use for the big rock crawlers. One of the major RC crawler parts websites will be carring these on their website very soon. The logo's may change on the final production run but I think you will get the idea.

Dont start hating on me for having a stock rc crawler. I just took it out of the box to make the templates. I know... I need to chop on it a little. haha...

If you are have any questions about the wrap on this crawler be sure to ask.


Thanks
Dan

Sweet wraps Dan! You should do some template wraps for the Edge chassis panels. I'd be happy to send a package of them to you to use. We're using 4 of them for the Active Kids program only on some custom Aluminum panels. I Love the Flames, I might have to get some for the CORA crawler. I know the "other" RC (crawling) web site will love having your services.

So when are you gonna start making tube chassis for these things?

People are copying your designs left and right, why not offer the real deal???

If you are talking about the Edge chassis that TCS crawlers sells I have been making them for about a year now. Kevin has them in stock.... atleast he should. I sent some to him a month or so back.

They are out of everything but the blue camo ones, on their site. It would be nice to have just the flame design like on the Losi, with now text on it.
