Painting the body and then off to the skatepark! WHAT!
In this video, we turn our attention to the body and finishing up this build project. After that, we take it for a good run to see how it performs.

I wonder what the Tamiya engineers were thinking when designing this chassis. "Instead of making a chassis, let's just make 80% of the car a gearbox and attach everything to that"

@IowaBudgetRCBashers 9 месяцев назад

Good call, but at the same time, I’ve heard that these all gear chassis are tough as nails

@Logans_RCAdventures 9 месяцев назад

@IowaBudgetRCBashers If that's the case than this was a smart decision for a monster truck chassis

@powersmodelgarage 9 месяцев назад

It’s just like the G6-01. That one is as tough as can be and almost unstoppable on all terrain. Tamiya engineers designed an amazing chassis.

@JimBoBJames-no5db 9 месяцев назад

Tgat is absolutely spectacular stunningly BEAUTIFUL Gav. I am amazed its spectacular!! I muat admit at first i thought negatively about this truck. But now seeinf it built and running has swayed me. And wouldn't you know it, the lical hobby shop i frequent has sold out after everybody seems to be praising it. Again similar to you , i was dubious about a gear train transferring drive to front and rear. But it seems to work really good. Im now a convert Gav thanks mate. Im in Australia.

Would adjusting the steering mix make it more stable with rear wheel steer?

@fabianmcgale_9160 9 месяцев назад

A fine bit of precision masking there. One slip with thon scalpel and you'd have ended up with a Squash pickup. 😂 Turned out lovely in the end. 👍

Awesome job! I love how these kits allow you to do whatever window style you like. Something super cool about seeing the internals from the outside. No way I'd take that thing to a skate park after all that work though!

@adrianpilbeam7403 9 месяцев назад

Question for you Gav. Why does my paint come away from the body leaving it perfectly clear? I washed it and did pretty much the same as you do but it got bashed at the track and a huge part of the paint came away. Is it something I did wrong or just bad luck?

@RCKickschannel 9 месяцев назад

Are you using Tamiya PS paints or a paint designed for Polycarbonate bodies and not a normal car spray paint? If that's the case you can GENTLY rub a wet green kitchen pad on the inside of the polycarbonate body. Obviously don't do the windows, lights or anything that will stay clear. You only want a light key, if you go too hard, the scratches will start to show in the paintwork. A little key will help the paint bond with the body and stop the peeling issue. Also do light coats at first and give each coat a good 15 mins to dry before adding the next coat.

@adrianpilbeam7403 9 месяцев назад

@@RCKickschannel I only use Tamiya paints and i usually allow an hour between each coat. It may be the coats are too heavy. Will try the kitchen pad and see hoe that goes. It was just one patch but it came off clean. Thanks for the tip.

@GTMQ8 9 месяцев назад

This is excellent painting work. I haven't painted an RC body in nearly 30 years but I remember the masking tape and the smell of Tamiya's PS paint sprays all too well.

@unittaskforce 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for another great video Gavin. Found your channel whilst looking into a build and got some good tips and thoughts before I built my Unimog CC-02 a few months ago. Currently planning a Rock Socker and then either Super Clod or Suburu TT-02, and here you go throwing new options around! I like the way you show your builds warts and all and do not hide the mistakes. On this I like the colours you went with, think its a better option than box art in this case. Be interested to know if that style of 4WD is tougher and harder wearing in the long run.

I'm looking for a 4ws chassis for my cybertruck project. I would have to cut it half and extend it, but my main question is, does this come 4ws out of box, or you need to buy extra parts to make it 4ws?

@RCKickschannel 4 месяца назад

The parts are in the box if I remember correctly

@nickrobertson2450 9 месяцев назад

So an extended GF01 with extra gears like the G601. Same steering, suspension arms & friction shocks. Even the bumpers looked the same. So it has the GF01 wheelie bar in there, too, i assume. Which means you should be able to add wider arms & shaftes from the WR01/WT01 to widen it. Fit mini cva dampers or better still add the GPM Wild Dagger shock tower conversion to fit full length GPM dampers, which gives it loads of articulation.

Thank you for this video. Wonderful paint work and good practical information! Seems to be a very easy to drive car. Considering the high centre of gravity it seems extremely smooth on the flat, like a F1 or Touring Car. You really do notice the difference between this and that horrible Trasped kit you binned the other week, especially with the speed, acceleration and handling, even when you are just cruising with the Tamiya. It shows that you get what you pay for! 🙂 I wouldn't have given that Trasped as an Xmas gift to my relative's boy!
