HEY!! We got gaven back. He's going back to the ROOTS and doing a complete build👍heck yea. Cool video. Let's see more of these please.

@RCKickschannel Год назад

You can find hundreds of builds in the channel back catalog 👍🏻

@roloreoandy9867 Год назад

I think we all have been there Gavin. Now I don't do an rc until I have plenty of free time. I am not a content creator however so I can understand where you are coming from. The blue really does look amazing.

@michaeldorich4485 Год назад

It happens to many of us. You have good advice.

@Farney-gy1qo Год назад

The modern Alpine shell would look great!

@Farney-gy1qo Год назад

That is a Beautiful chassis! Great design.

@CornholioMcGeeRC Год назад

Always enjoy your videos !! Especially the track ones. Keep it up!!

Team Associated RC10 B6.4 2WD racing buggy is on its way from Rochester RC so stay tuned for the next series of, “Noob goes racing” I’ll still be racing my Cougar to compare times.

Good honest vid👍

@mitsuman5555 Год назад

It's comforting to know that someone with your experience can still sometimes have a full-blown painting disaster like us regular guys. lol

@fairrc Год назад

Awesome looking car, and agreed the blue looks better! Hope you get to fix it up soon!

@paulpadilla5288 Год назад

Been there....done that.....I feel your pain 😎👍

@Trabevion Год назад

Ps-15 is lovley colour! Not nice to see but interesting that pros can mess up paint jobbsr aswell. Good video!

@Logans_RCAdventures Год назад

Gran Turismo tells me I should put the harder compound tires on the drive wheels and the softer compound on the non drive wheels. If you don’t plan on driving it hard though it shouldn’t matter, considering you don’t really beat on any of your cars the tire setup should be totally fine 👍

@andyrobinsonrc2480 Год назад

Happens to us all at some point , the barn find sounds good though , look forward to seeing that . I built the lotus europa on that chassis and you need the cream springs on the back shock units, the manual does state which tyre compounds go on which end of the car but I can remember from memory . Looking forward to P2 ;)

@buildrestorecustomise2060 Год назад

Good idea to do a weathered look to try and rescue the body but I wouldn’t do any rust because the the actual cars bodywork is made out of fibreglass which doesn’t rust!

@RCKickschannel Год назад

Good point

@AddamsPlayground Год назад

We have all done it! The two biggest things in painting is preparation and patience and both are ones that are often rushed a bit! I recently royally messed up my Dirt Master body by rushing it and trying to get too much done in too little time. Glad you were able to find another body set and great idea for the one with issues. A beaten and weather one is a great idea!

@lo2713 Год назад

Nothing worse than when it all goes horribly wrong, but sounds like it could turn out to be a winner, like the sound of a beaten up shell 👍

@trevorcourt1403 Год назад

It happens to us all trying to repaint when it’s just not dry enough 😢

Don't worry....that's my usual.👍decals hide a lot on that one.

@zonoskar Год назад

We (I) are still watching the vid, even when it comes out a day or 2 later. It's not like you have a schedule to adhere to, right?

@RCKickschannel Год назад

No schedule, I release videos when I can and when I have budget.

@tm5123 Год назад

Softer springs and softer tires on the back. You want more rear grip, and less front grip. UNLESS, you just like spinning out everytime you turn.

@YoShImUrA53 Год назад

Gav, there can't be rust on a fibreglass body like these cars have in real life. It's a real shame, but it happens to all of us at some point. I'm sure you can park it and fix it some other time. It's not going anywhere!☺️👌🏻

@RCKickschannel Год назад

Mine was converted to hand formed steel back in the 1980s after a crash at a track destroyed the fibreglass. Five years later the engine went on it and since then it’s been stuck in a barn slowly rusting away. 😂

@YoShImUrA53 Год назад

@@RCKickschannel hahahaha. Sold!👌🏻

@paulrobinson9355 Год назад

Been there done that several times sadly and most recently with my Monster Beetle……on my 3rd body now!

@brianargo1659 Год назад

Awww! The truth came out😂 u was trying to get ready for racing and got a little excited because u was rushing our video so ur selfish self could go racing. Lol.. but it's OK. Take ur time. We will be here👍I'm glad u messed it up! Because I like the sound of the rusted and beat up body. So do us all proud and give us a good video. And also I hope the racing went well for u.

@SpeccyMan Год назад

I also like that metallic blue. I used it to paint the wheels of my Lunchbox. No way was I ever going to have a yellow Lunchbox. 😁 I then decided to paint my Tamiya Racing Fighter metallic blue as well but this time I went with Absima paint instead of Tamiya (a quid cheaper and 50% more in the can) and it came out great. It is lighter shade of blue than the Tamiya but it looks great. Good luck with part 2. Mistakes are only bad if we fail to learn from them. 😉

@MACsPipe Год назад

I like your videos, just a "realism hint" on your weathere shell project: the real car body was made of frp, so you would never see an alpine with rust!😉

@RCKickschannel Год назад

Great point!

@RC4FUN_TV Год назад

Hi Gavin. Quick question, how happy are you with that SPT servo you installed ? Go-to cheap servo ? Thanks mate, looking fwd to seeing your imagination in action re the beat up body. Greetings from New Zealand.

@RCKickschannel Год назад

SPT servo is fine for normal garden driving and a little bashing. I wouldn’t race it but for the money I’m happy with them.

@TheBrodir Год назад

You're right about the tyres. Soft on the back. For Springs and Tyres check the manual 😅 it' in there

@IowaBudgetRCBashers Год назад

I didn’t know these came in anything but orange

@RCKickschannel Год назад

Yep, original was metallic blue

@countmurcielago9802 Год назад

I am doing the car in blue same as rally car I got the proper wheels from Japan and am going to put led in it also bits it’s not a hurry a bit at a time it should look like the first release version when am done. 😊

@rivierarc Год назад

We've all been there and no doubt we'll do it again and again... Its my bad point unfortunately too

@alexalexandre1574 Год назад

Careful, fiberglass doesn't rust. However is a very good idea to have this damaged body as a rally unit.

@RCKickschannel Год назад

I’ll put all the rust on the underside lol

@coolcycles Год назад

I'd do the second body in any colour, but that one, as that's the rallye team colour we all have seen on it for five decades now. Without the familiar rallye decals it might look unfinished also. I think, the Alpine looks nice and elegant in light, pale metallic yellow and green hues or sporty in bright primary/secondary colours. The rust idea is quite queer, as the original body is from fantastic plastic…

@shaunodriscoll Год назад

This is an issue I have with buying Tamiya, it’s quite a lot of money and you end up having to upgrade it because of getting things like friction shocks on a £150+ kit! It sometimes feels like Tamiya get away with scrimping simply by trading on their name! I just find it a little disappointing and tend not to buy Tamiya. Great video and glad to see you’re as human as the rest of us 😂

@VUO4E Год назад

agree. But look at it differently: you can get a TT-0X kit for about €80. The bodies alone sell for half that money. So in a way, a TT-0X costs €40 :)

@Mickey-qq3dg Год назад

What's the beginning piano sound track please?? Thanks

@aut0bahn Год назад

soft tires go on rear!

@EranUserName Год назад

I think you should consider adding an alternative long/detailed build&paint videos (along with detailed talking on why/what/how, even a live build?). I'm betting that there is a good chance that also for some of the experience builders, it is nice to see a through build without the 'blink of the eye' magic.

@RCKickschannel Год назад

I’ve done loads more detailed builds in the past along with step by step painting guides. Most viewers don’t bother to look at channels back catalog of videos and only watch the latest one or two.

@EranUserName Год назад

@@RCKickschannel I think (most/ or just me) watch the new & whatever RU-vid suggests and catch the eye. Having said that, you have no guide to M06 (yet ? 🙂)

@mikestansbury2510 9 месяцев назад

what bearing set works with this car?

@RCKickschannel 9 месяцев назад

In the UK, www.rcbearings.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=2388 In Australia, plaig.com.au/ 6 of 850 and 12 of 1150

@Pablo668 Год назад

Yeah I love that blue as well. Shame about the cock up, but it happens. I’d probably use that body as a runner. I bought the M0-6 kit with the Lotus Europa body. I have to say, the M0-6? I don’t love it.

@paulblack3608 Год назад

I waited 3 months to get ps16 at my local shop only to accidentally paint one of my taillights with my backing color after the mask stuck to some other tape. Nail polish remover then let me rub a nice hole through the body and after 4 cans of ps paint, plus one tamiya mustang gt4 body ended up equalling one expensive mistake. So sad. Of course it happened on the backing coat after all other painting was painstakingly done. I salvaged it with some creative sticker work. But a dissappointment for sure. Cheers

@RCKickschannel Год назад

Yep it can be a right pain, especially with f it’s a body you put many hours into or a vintage body you can’t replace.

@VUO4E Год назад

Looking forward to see rust on an A110 LMAO. It has a composite body so the white "rash" is actually very realistic.

@markbruton-young9228 Год назад

Oh dear gavin oh dear 😢

@RCKickschannel Год назад

Yep, oh dear is what came out of my mouth a good few times. Never mind, I have a new body set on its way to try again lol

@ColinM_YouTube Год назад

Another mistake you made was painting the separate pieces that go on the rear wings silver, they are supposed to be body coloured. It’s definitely a shell that requires patience to achieve results! It’s a great looking car & I’m interested to see this turned into a beat up version.

@stefankosar1235 Год назад

Rust on a GFK-Body? Really?

@RCKickschannel Год назад

Why not, it’s not real?

@lreventao Год назад

Please don't do a rust effect in a car with a fiberglass body. It will look so rare.

@RCKickschannel Год назад

OK, I’ll put all the rust on the underside

@TottiSchlecker Год назад

Patience is very difficult while painting the body, everyone makes their experience with that, it always takes too long somehow ...you know... I'm kind of a rusher myself🫠...
