Awesome job. That thing looks better than most full sized replicas!

@713Ace529 Год назад

You actually looked and considered almost everything I looked at before I build mine. I actually put the grill from I sit the body then order a bumper through shapeways by providing the size but yeah someone should of came up at least with a conversion already. I’ll check out your files cause I definitely need to finish my front end and other things. Thanks for sharing. 👍

U can't find a General Lee anywhere anymore with the Flag on top...but u made an awesome correct version...again...sell them

@BudgetRC_Channel 11 месяцев назад

Thanks. Selling them isn't something I really want to do because it takes away my time from other projects, plus for the hours I have to put in to make one, I'd end up needing to charge $1200 or more, which seems kind of ridiculous.

@netcan2 Год назад

So, I have to say thank you very much for the idea and tips, I now have a pretty close version of the GL and also bought another shell and painted it pearl white with blacked out stickers and named her the Ghost of the General Lee, I also installed a Sense Innovations ESS -Dual speaker so now I have engine sound and of course the Dixie Horn, super happy and all thanks to you!

Just subscribed after watching this. The General Lee is one of my all-time dream cars, and I love what you did! If I would've known about the Kyosho Fazer in the first place, I would've saved up my money a bit more instead of getting a Tamiya TT-02 with the '99 Impreza Monte Carlo body. If I ever do get the Kyosho Fazer, I'll be sure to do these! I am not the best with applying decals to rc's, but I'm sure my dad can help me out with that since he has experience with applying decals to model cars when he was younger. Once again, this is absolutely amazing, and I love it!

@BudgetRC_Channel 11 месяцев назад

If you follow the methods that I used for the decals, it's almost fool-proof. You take as much time as you need to get them where you need them, then use tape references. Wet the decals so you can move them around until they're in the right spot, then pat the water out to keep them there.

Rc drift car body painter and detailer here in 7:09 the point you adressed is understandable and if youd prefer the razor blade method i have a tip if you score a line a few times of depending on lexan thickness you are able to peel it away from the body and it will also leave a crisp line just may take some practice

@yassermasood3423 Год назад

Thank you for your help. Its a lovely job. Where can I get a body like this for Tamiya M08 chassis?

@BudgetRC_Channel Год назад

Since that's their mini chassis, the Malibu hard body is the only choice that's narrow enough to work, but you'll need to stretch the chassis to the correct wheelbase.

@w.e.s. Год назад

I prefer metal brackets with a metal brush guard.

What kind of guitar string did you make the antenna out of if you don't mind me asking.

@yassermasood3423 Год назад

Question please. Will this body fit on Tamiya TT-01 and TT-02 chassis?

@BudgetRC_Channel Год назад

unfortunately, no. This body has a longer wheelbase that only works with the longer Kyosho Fazer chassis. There is a body available from MCI Racing that I highlighted in my General Lee intro video that I'll be doing a build with soon. That body is designed for standard sized touring car chassis, including the Tamiyas.

@MegaFrankgarcia 7 месяцев назад

Hello, Great Video. Do you think that Kyosho body shell would fit on a Traxxas slash LCG chassis? and if not do you have a suggestion? thank you

@BudgetRC_Channel 6 месяцев назад

It's way too small for a Slash. Wheelbase is only about 275mm and is about 200mm wide.

@MegaFrankgarcia 6 месяцев назад

@@BudgetRC_Channel I appreciate the response, I found the Kyosho dimensions and figured it was too small. I am using a ProForm body shell, although a 1970 Charger. The only difference I can tell is the front end. 69 has a divider in the middle of the grill. The chassis is done, Preliminary shell fittings seem to be positive. I'll keep you updated how it comes out, thanks for the video.

@hankgilleland8887 Год назад

Which wheel file did you use exactly if you don't mind me asking, size & offset thanks

@BudgetRC_Channel Год назад

I don't remember the filename, but they were the 6mm offset wheels designed for the vintage tires. The link in the description has 4 varieties: vintage style (smaller for more tire sidewall) and modern style, each with 0mm offset or 6mm offset.

@jonenglish6617 Год назад

Is the kyosho the best option?. I want a general lee that can do realistic jumps without breaking.

Looks great! Although I don't understand why they don't put any care into the proportions of the body, same goes with Autoart, Greenlight, Johnny Lightning and Jada are the worst offenders by far.

@BudgetRC_Channel 11 месяцев назад

With RC cars, the bodies are formed from Lexan, which can limit what they do. That's why the rear fascia is a separate piece. They also need the bodies to fit on their existing chassis, which means the wheelbase and track width is already pre-determined.

@pliantimpala7858 11 месяцев назад

@@BudgetRC_Channel That's true about the body having to be the length of the chassis. But the Diecast companies don't have any excuses for some of the trash they produce. The best 1/18 Charger casting is still the Hot Wheels one from like 20 years ago.
