Thanks for asking :) I'm upgrading the receiver on the B44.2 :)

@TheRCNetwork 11 лет назад

Also, really plan out your paint scheme. This was the first hard body I painted, so I was thinking backwards from all the PolyCarbonate bodies I've painted. Also, it doesn't matter if there's over spray, the TS paint will go right over regardless of color change. Make sure and protect the under side, like when I sprayed the wheel flares black, I didn't want black going under, so I taped off the wheel wells

@TheRCNetwork 11 лет назад

Nice. I just put in the JConcepts aluminum bell cranks with carbon ackerman. It cleans up some of the steering slop. They buggy is great so far, but now after seeing the 22-4 from TLR and then the new 4wd buggy from HotBodies, they look a bit better than the AE! The HotBodies buggy really looks beefy and had 3 fluid filled geared diffs. I don't know how many front a arms I've broken so far on the B44.2 and just realized I cracked the rear CF shock tower!

i've painted a handful of hardbodies and i've found that if you can find a krylon or rustoleum color that you like at walmart, go for it. especially the colors that have the primer mixed in with them. only issue is that you will most likely need to do some wet sanding. the tamiya TS paints definitely spry a thinner pattern and need less if any touch up. BUT they are 10 dollars a pop vs 3 or 4 dollars for a bigger can of walmart paint. as far as quality of paint, i see no difference between the two other than how much wet sanding you need to do when you are finished. if you are going to buy tamiya TS spray for a 1/10 crawler do yourself a favor and BUY 2 CANS. those little cans go quick.

@TheRCNetwork 8 лет назад

I don't know.....this was my first Hardbody and based on many people's recommendations, saving a few bucks (using Krylon or such) or having to replace the $100+ hardbody?? I was fine with the $18 in Tamiya paint.

@dbcooper9401 8 лет назад

The RCNetwork i don't see how you could ruin a body by spray painting it. even using the shittiest cheapest spray paint that the finish looks like sand paper is fixed relatively easy by some wet sanding. you're almost better off because you have enough paint in the bigger cans that you can load it on and have enough layer to sand it down to a mirror finish. as fine as the tamiya cans spray, they still need some wet sanding but with those you have to be light because you didn't get enough paint in a can to lay down a nice coat. two tamiya cans is still less paint than a krylon can. the krylon and rustoleum paints that are out now have a primer mixed in with them and may even be a better paint honestly. tamiya has some nicer colors to choose from though. i just can't think of how you could have a hardbody be irreparable from a bad paint job.

@TheRCNetwork 8 лет назад

+DB Cooper still fine with the $18 Tamiya investment.....

@dbcooper9401 8 лет назад

The RCNetwork i can understand that.

@TheRCNetwork 11 лет назад

Probably not. It took about 5-6 days to complete the paining on this rig. The great think, is you can paint it like a real car, however, you have to mask off each time you make a color change! I should have the unveiling here soon. Just finishing up the interior

@rossferguson3463 11 лет назад

Are you going to do a full tutorial on this? I just bought a G2 and I 'm nervous about painting the body.

@machocave 11 лет назад

Very cool! I agree with you that the new 4wd buggies from HotBodies, and the new TLR look really awesome :) Just debating with myself as to which one to get next :) And like you, I have broken so many front arms it's not even funny! Hope you get a new rear shock tower soon!

@TheRCNetwork 11 лет назад

Thanks! How's that B44.2?

@TheRCNetwork 11 лет назад

Nice!

Por favor, donde se puede conseguir esa carrocería de Defender?

@TheRCNetwork 2 года назад

It's from RC4WD and called the Gelande II. Here's a link to a similar one: store.rc4wd.com/RC4WD-Gelande-II-RTR-W-2015-Land-Rover-Defender-D90-Body-Set-Autobiography-Limited-Edition_p_7949.html

Thanks for stopping by, Andrew!

@Jacey2001 5 лет назад

is it just the flexible difference? has anyone used lexan paints on these? I have a ton of lexan paints and would love to airbrush them. also wondering if I can buy some "TS" style paints that I can put in my airbrush. EDIT: just pulled out my paints and they are "FasKolor" brand lexan paints "and other surfaces" as stated on the label. on the back it says Metal, Plastic, Wood, Fiberglass, and Ceramics. so im fairly confident I can use them. probably even without primer. but I may head back to the shop to grab some FasKolor primer just in case.

@machocave 11 лет назад

Awesome video :)

@drewb.6145 9 лет назад

I have the same gels de kit, should I prime the body first?

@TheRCNetwork 9 лет назад

Crawler kings ! I didn't. Just used the "TS" Tamiya paint in the video

@drewb.6145 9 лет назад

Ok! Thanks!

@stefanrogers9091 10 лет назад

It's pronounced Ge-len-de and when I used tamiya smoke on the windows they dissolved.

@CallmeDaBreeze1971 9 лет назад

Nothing weird or unusual if you have any model car experience.

@TheRCNetwork 9 лет назад

MrBreeze I'm used to using RC Paint for Lexan bodies.....so I wanted to share some knowledge to others doing a hardbody kit

@CallmeDaBreeze1971 9 лет назад

I did plastic models before RC so I thought it was weird to paint the inside when I built my first RC car. The Tamiya model paints are ok but I prefer the Testors Model Masters flat black over the Tamiya. To me it just looks better, try it next time. Your rig looks great, I can't wait to get my Trailmaster II (soon!} The combination of plastic and RC modeling is going to enjoyable for me.
