Watching these builds always inspires me. I love my kids, but they sure have cut into my RC modding time during the day. Once my youngest really gets a feel for controlling his RC, I'm going back to working on my trucks. I have this brand new big back yard full of nooks to discover with my trail trucks. I can't wait!
Very cool, Matt!! It is enjoyable to watch you being excited about these builds. Hats off to you and Josh for bringing us such interesting content. I think that Sugga(spelling? ) would look right at home in snow patrol colors. Maybe a splash of Playboy blue here and there? And maybe a "Gimmie some SUGGA" bumper sticker.
Great vid! The class 2 truck is going to be awesome with the Volvo body. What a cool choice. Even better its not a Power Wagon! I think it'll be cooler than a Power wagon!
Very Good Work with the carbon fiber and good safety tips on the product hazard's Matthew 💯 The Hard Body Delivery will look super Cool on the Trail's... Lot's of 3d printing to do... Almost need to Print 2 more Matthews for Clones Helping in the Hobby LOL 😂 ... I've been looking at the printer's and filaments and have confused myself on which way to try my hand at printing for the Hobby?? Just don't understand the terminology I suppose? With scanner's, layer's, support meshing and all the things of knowledge that goes into making "Stuff" the right way... Good show my friend, Safe Journey to the Rockies and Have Fun Laughing Playing and RCing 👍😎👍 AOAH 🙏 SSPH 🏁💯🏁
Many of today’s slicer programs automate much of that process depending on your filament choice. I tend to stick with PLA as it’s the easiest to work with. If you need some advice, DM me on Instagram or send me an email.
Better to be one of a kind than one of the crowd when it comes to most things, paint schemes included. I'd say go with seperate looks for each vehicle.
Yes yes yes! Mask up I didn't for a quick 1/4 inch cut and had a sore throat for a month. Another thing I did was cut with the shop vac sucking beside me. I highly recommend long sleeves or long gloves to cut as well cause it will cause splinters also wash your hand and arms with cold water first
If that Furitek 10 is anything like their LIKO combo, (I am sure it is) you're in for a real treat. On the fly telemetry adjustments via Bluetooth is a pretty sweet option. Updated firmware to fix sinewave output to the motor, etc. It's a worthwhile route to go. Can it handle the stress test? I don't see why not. What is that? 60A nominal with 80A burst? Plenty of juice on 3s with headroom to spare.
In keeping with the RACECAR theme.. And combining the PRANCING MOOSE, perhaps a Patina-looking homage to a Ferrari race car, but using the stylized font of Ferrari but spell volvo.. great work so far
Looking forward to seeing the Class 1 Porsche, but genuinely EXCITED about the Class 2 Volvo! Always loved seeing the Red Bull promo version...perhaps this one could be a white promo Sugga for Malk? Since milk and sugar are a thing...
Panel bond is amazing. Just be Warned if you get it somewhere you Dont want it clean it up asap. If not it will forever be there. I set a brush on a saw horse. Couldn’t get it off had to throw the saw horse away .
Damn you... Teasing us with incredible dream rigs in the thumbnails and not making them see daylight... 😭😅 That Dakar Porsche would be quite something... 🤩
@@scalebuildersguild 😁 exactly! Truth is: it's not another Ford/Defender/Chevy/Jeep/... . And that's already something! I wander why across all manufacturers/scales/rig types, etc... a few car models make up a huge part of the RTR RC offer. I guess us buyers are to blame. 😏
2K clear and clear epoxy finish, releases about the same amount of V.O.C.s......so don't use either one without proper mask AND ventilation. Excellent work so far
i just use shoe goo to hold my carbon drop beds into the carbon body. i have broken carbon trying to get them apart even when using an exacto blade to cut the shoe goo.
"Moldrelease is key"...oh its the truth and deserves printing on a shirt. I ruined a aluminuimmold for a Volkswagen Touareg some years ago...high 4 figure damage. Fun Times :) Anywho...since josh is doing all the real work, How is club racing going? Cheers from germany
Has 2 parts ready "This is really coming together" 😆 You should paint the sugga with danish, finnish or norwegian imagery just to piss off every swede that sees it
How about making the printable Sugga files available with a portion going back to the originator Pretorama as that's a body I'd love to use, floats my boat 🙂
Sorry, that would be too difficult to work out with the designer, I’m not interested in making any money off it either. I’ll reach out to them and see if they want to offer a modified version for easier printing.
Hey Matt! Got a weathering question, how do you accomplish chipping or faded clear coat look? Is it the same process as normal paint chipping? Possibly a video on it maybe? Love the show and have a great day!
I did it in an episode on my green Range Rover. I can't track it down at the moment, but I know it's here somewhere! Essentially, chipping fluid over your final color (including it's clear coat) then light white paint in splotches, then chip to remove and expose the color underneath!
If the idea for the Sugga was from an old military vehicle, why not use that as the basis for the livery styling? Make it a period correct look but with your own personalized and modernized spin to it. Side note, it would have been pretty awesome if you had drawn up the plans to make the body of the rig in the thumbnail picture!
Loving this series, would love to do something similar challenging a buddy of mine but heck birthday was yesterday and past month or so been dropping hints and links and goodies to the wife and didn’t seem like she took the bait that want n crawler and she bought a beer glass with my name on... I like beer but heck not what I wanted nor what I need. so for now we continue with the dinky toy.. big sad but we will get there... keep up with the videos.
@@scalebuildersguild hahaha thank you :), that's the plan see how things goes by end of the month. Whats your opinion on the RGT Desert Fox that's one of a few i am looking at as starter.
Chuffed is probably not as common here as it is in the UK, but more common than it is in the US. The thumbnail is a riff on my current Volvo and the old one that I’m doing!
Thanks Matt. The 87 yota bed is getting bobbed soon and the only thing that's got me held back is I'm just unsure of myself and the reattaching part lol. So I'm just trying to figure out the best and most successful way to get there.
Thank you for the carbon dust warning, safety is boring most of the time but as someone who has worked with carbon fiber before it’s imperative to wear a mask, you can’t built badass scale trucks er… cars if your dead!
It’s a Volvo, I’m building a Volvo. If you follow me, you know I own the model of Volvo in the thumbnail hence the connection. Sorry if you missed the gag. 🤷🏻♂️
