Mahi mahi theme paintjob RC Truck

[steelfish]

Well, got me a Hard body RC car scale 1:12, I havent bought an RC car since 8 years ago, I got it because its small, "toyota licenced" Hard Body and eventho its made with cheap materials and electronics its still customizable with hobby grade parts, so I got it not much to run it but since its a hobbygrade RC I might use it from time to time specially when I finish to turned it into a small scale RC Fishing truck. 

This is a cheapo RC brand from aliexpess, MN82 model LC79, I saw it when I was searching some fishing stuff and quicky got my attention because of the details on the truck and the cheap price, I mean really cheap, this one it was $45 for the RC shipped, some toy cars of the same size in wallyworld worth more than that, and this come with a "licensed" Hard body from actual current cars not just cartoonish lexan-plastic bodies for extra-fast jumping cars so, I got it, since I saw it I planned to painted it with the mahi-mahi colors and build it as fishing car with some tiny fishing rods.
I wont get into details of next upgrades or current upgrades, just wanted to show it off with the ohana community since I think it ended up really cool.

I will post a picture of how the RC truck came originally and the next pictures are just how its for now, I still will made some changes, I will add more scale stuff for the trunk and will made some electronic upgrades,  but I will do that slowly, not rush at all since in this case I enjoy more tinkering it than actually using it. 

current changes are:
- custom mahi-mahi paint job on body and wheels
- 2 shotguns for hunting, I just painted them, they came as an accessory on a tree of parts of another RC
- DYI fishing rods (built them from actual broken fishing rod's tips)
- DYI bait bucket
- Custom stickers you might recognize the one of the truck doors

It's always interesting to see what other hobbies the Ohana is into.
