The factory finish from Roban leaves a lot to be desired. Cheap easy fix ? Yes ! camo green spray paint from Wal-Mart is a close match and looks great for a base color. Plan to weather this baby up real good !! I added a small chrome strip to the inside of the windows for a start on detailing and it looks close to the real thing.1 Photo

So far this will be my basic layout for the batteries and ESC, looks like it will work out pretty well. I have been told the interior can run hot so I have punched some holes into the sides and intend to add some cooling fans to combat this. The holes alone will allow more air to circulate around the batteries.2 Photos

So here is my cooling system for the interior to keep the temps down on all the electronics, Cut open the sides to access the engine or turbine area for the heat to exit out of. Found some small 5volt computer fans and used garage door foam seal to create a nice pressure fit and they will blow the hot air right out the back through the exhaust.5 Photos
