Anyone into R/C?

I cut my body out before seeing your post, that could've helped

 

About to go on this little project. Feels like something is missing besides the axles and body.
Going with C10 links front and rear to start.

 

Can't think of anything, looks complete!

 

Turned out great man!

 

Thanks!

But I'm curious, what's the process for painting yours?

Do you run reddish brown streaks for rust, then paint the blue afterward or?

Distress the paint some?

 

I seen a few different methods. I'll post a video of the two that caught my attention.

This first one is neat because it actually creates real rust with promoters

I'll be doing this method with hair spray

I've been hearing some great things about the nylon meus axles. Is that what you ended up going with?

 

It is. Main reason for going nylon is that it slides over the rocks easier imo.

 

God damn, that's a lot of work but looks badass!

 

I've read the exact same.

Nylon > machined for going over rocks.

 

scratches are less painful too.

 

Well, sorry @Deathbysnusnu but it seems like the bar has been set

Looking forward to your paint job!

 

Pfffft, I'm gonna snap all the pics I can before it goes out for the first time.

I know my metal axles, shiny body, all of that is gonna get fuuuuucked

 

That hairspray method looks really interesting, never would have thought of it but it looks fantastic

 

Super excited to give it a try!!

 

So you'll be mounting a hard body I take it?

 

For now lol

Update on Mazz stock. He will have inventory next week! Get ready! I inquired about a certain prototype slider of his I found and was told it'll be on the website next week as well as restock

 

Well, hobby shop visit was a bust.

I try supporting my local shop as much as possible but I went ahead and ordered a 25T servo horn for the Reefs RC servo.

Apparently all the hardware they use is larger than standard SCX24 shit. Apparently that's the same for LGRP's stuff like their axles?

Anyway, horn gets here tomorrow.

Waiting for Tyler to shoot me a message regarding the link orientation. The rear lowers need the shallow bend at the skid, but I'm unsure about the rear uppers.

 

Shocks, and link hardware is here!
