Looks similar to what we use to coat helicopter baffle systems to reduce IR signature

Indeed! It's by no means the heaviest truck I've ever owned but it's getting up there.

It won't be DONE done but might be good enough to bring along. We still have comp trucks to get done for the trip! That is if I have time to go this weekend instead of working...

Actually, I think my old home made JK fatty performed better my newer and lighter scx-10s. I haven't been able to really test out the Wraith yet. I guess the extra weight helped plant the tires. The truck performed so realistically also. It would even bounce like a real truck when trying to get over a ledge and the 2.2 crushers I had would howl like real tires when you got them spinning.

Just sprayed the first coat. Waiting for it to dry. Here was the final choice.

The heavy trucks definitely have cool handling characteristics. However with tuning the light rigs seem to handle the rocks better (there is a balance of course). But the cool factor always wins with me.

I almost hated to get rid of the RTR Ripsaws because of how they howled!

The color is great! Super happy with how it's laying down. Best part is.... I got a fast drying paint without even knowing!

Painted.

Front end is completely assembled. I'll get roller pics up in a bit. Throwing the stock rear axle under it for the moment.
