[QUOTE="EricM, post: 1063444, member: 20286"] Picked up two New Bright 1:10 Raptor RC trucks this weekend for $17 each. I bought them specifically to use the body shells on a hobby grade chassis. They are SCABs, and I have a SCREW, but oh well. The body shells are very detailed, they have an actual Raptor grill as opposed to a sticker. It came with terrible neon green stickers all over the body, but they all peel off cleanly. Oddly enough, the stickers said "FX4 offroad", but the tailgate has the Raptor logo on it. Apparently it's the ultra rare FX4 Off Road Raptor edition... The bodies also have headlight buckets, which I've already removed, pulled the lens, and blacked out the inside. A 5mm LED in an aluminum holder should look almost dead on the OEM projector setup. I plan to do LED lights to match the OEM Raptor setup. It'll take a lot of LEDs though- 7 ambers + 2 white up front, and 9 reds in the rear. Technically it's 9 ambers up front, but I don't think I have room to do the the running light in the headlamp. The tail lights are just a red lens, so I'll have to cut the body behind them and make my own light buckets. I'll get some pics up once I make some more progress. [/QUOTE]
