The body is clear and we have to paint or how does it work and will it work on a Traxxas T- Maxx 2.5?

The body is clear and you will need to paint it. I don't know if it will fit a 2.5 or not. You'll need to look up the dimensions on both the 3.3 and the 2.5 to be sure. It fit my 3.3 perfectly. You will also need to get lexan scissors to cut out everything. There is a clear layer of plastic on the outside of the body (it isn't noticable at all) that you need to peel off before you apply the decals. Every decal will need trimmed out by hand, they are not precut.

Quick answer is YES! Much experience here with Traxxas and their motors. Hope this helps you out.

Yes, this is a excellent model! Take your time, follow the directions and make sure you have the right glue (polystyrene glue) I think that's the correct name, but you will see that in the directions! Painting is optional personal preference and Testors makes excellent model paints!

This version at the price it is asking for is most likely brushed. You can start there and if you want more speed/power traxas makes a conversion mount for a brushless motor. All that to say the brushless motor version of this usually starts in the 700$ range if not more.

I used acrylic paint and clear coat and it worked well, but make sure you wash it with degreaser and use a primer for best results

Lexan paint... Hobby shop. Google videos on how to paint them... You paint the inside of body, then pull the overspray film... Looks like clear coat. There is a trick and sequence. You can use krylon fusion... But not both on same body.

It is made to mount on the front bumper of a stampede 4 x 4. The rustler does not have a mount for it, but you could mount it somewhere on the body and it will work fine. I mounted it on the top of my stampede 2wd and it works fine. It hooks into your reciever, so that would work on any Traxxas car.

I've used it to do exactly that on my Thule. It works perfectly and ended up stronger then the original. Mix a dab of Acrylic paint with it and it color matches too.

The paint job varies from one to the next since it includes a wash, which is random by nature. That said, the paint job on mine is great. Sculpting on bicepts and arms is excellent. Take a minute to look at more pics online, there are plenty of them out there. This really is an amazing figure, one of my favorites all-time.

It will work. Just not up to its maximum capabilities. Only you can decide if its worth it. I think its a good product but i am also running twice the RPM you are. Truth is ... i dont have a concrete answer for you cuz i dont know the condition of your paint. If you have a fairly new paint job and just looking for a light polish and wax then it should. If you have spiderwebs and other forms of scratches ... I dont know.

the only paint i have used that was thick was asphalt aluminum non fibered paint and it worked fine. the only complaint that I have with the sprayer is that i think it was a store display model, it was new but it didn't come with instructions or the original box.

It is just a clear body that needs to be painted. The picture is of a suggestion on how to paint the body mounted on a R/C vehicle. The R/C vehicles this body is made for run upwards of $400 to $500 or more.

I use a program called Paint Tool SAI, so unfortunately i cannot answer your question. Sorry. But from what I've seen, I think it works, but you should look it up on the internet before purchasing. I do find it extremely useful though. :)

Tamiya makes a paint just for lexan bodies. Just google it. If haven't ever painted one of theses bodies you paint it on the inside

No, it will work in any Traxxas vehicle but it's a double height battery pack and will not fit in vehicles designed to use a single pack only, like the erevo and summit. Their battery compartments are too small. I can't even use it in my 10th scale Summit and that is their largest vehicle. It works great in a Slash or Stampede, etc.

Works well with latex/acrylic paints. Make sure the base coat is applied well and not to thin.
