Gold inserts? https://i.imgur.com/eHRcZ44.jpg Or not? https://i.imgur.com/VoBigoA.jpg https://i.imgur.com/mYIyZMN.jpg https://i.imgur.com/4jRyWhk.jpg https://i.imgur.com/M7T0uF3.jpg Had some trouble with the front windshield on the passenger side. https://i.imgur.com/gpMPK0a.jpg https://i.imgur.com/...

...Wonder why they did this? Because they are ugly? :lol: They don't issue a front "tag" in my state and I've grown to appreciate how clean the front of our cars look without them. When a front tag holder is provided, I'll remove it from my 1:1 vehicles. Okay, so I understand that your do...

The challenge working with lacquer paints is that they dry very fast so you need to lay the paint heavy so it will flow (and avoid orange peel) BUT doing so, you increase the risk that it will bleed under the mask. You're climbing the Mt Everest of RC body painting -- don't sweat the tiny mistakes....

Got the LED controller today. X4920DVor2k Hot glue to set the LED's in the buckets. https://i.imgur.com/U1IWH7V.jpg https://i.imgur.com/LFxCGco.jpg https://i.imgur.com/50ffNkG.jpg https://i.imgur.com/xtTVJW1.jpg Will get the wires routed and tacked down, and then see about fitting this body on the DS.

To be honest, I've tried correcting my overspray and other paint mistakes before and it always looks worse than if I'd just left it alone. I'm not good at fixing mistakes so I tend to live with them. Anyway, clear gloss is your friend. So far, I've used it for all my hard body projects. Sanding and...

Thanks! A Snowman KW would be the perfect sidekick to your Bandit TA. Bob Jacobsen built one a few years ago - I believe the sticker sets are still available. Bobs Snowman KW.jpg Of course, the problem is that they are 1/14 scale. :( To be fair, a 1/10 scale big rig would be rather large and likely...

This should be on the way here soon, for the RC10 DS, the Factory Works shorty LiPo holder.

With the window decals, the tint wasn't dark enough, too many visible wires with the LED's, and no Bandit and Carrie in there. Went a bit too far again with the PS-31 smoke tint. In the sun you can see through it, but it looks like blacked out limo tint in these pics. https://i.imgur.com/aJl871F.jpg...

Thanks! The Tamiya TLU-01 controller comes with 5mm LED's, and they are really bright. The LED's being sealed in the reflective buckets, does seem to focus the beams well. I hadn't seen those Tamiya Touring cockpits before, those are pro. If I had a 3D printer, that would be the first thing on the l...

Felt like this would never be done, and there's still all those tape lines that can bleed and require clean up. https://i.imgur.com/Q7zcgEB.jpg https://i.imgur.com/aGez09W.jpg Going to go over the tape lines again, make sure they are clean from the outside, and sealed off inside, then spray the Alcl...

Factory Works shorty holder made it today. https://i.imgur.com/2dY46s8.jpg Even with the ESC installed, I was able to fit a Tamiya wrench on the locknut that secures the holder to the chassis, had no trouble installing this. https://i.imgur.com/ysAxoCW.jpg https://i.imgur.com/JcRcylf.jpg https://i.i...

I had no idea how specific the DS wheels are. Notice the backspace and offset of the stock wheel, compared to standard 26mm and 31mm hex wheels. https://i.imgur.com/TCPpqyc.jpg My foam wheel sets won't work either, as a result. https://i.imgur.com/wTEbogx.jpg The axle is 1/4", not 3/16", s...

The backspacing is what ruins every other option, the DS is very shallow, can't just hang an odd size wheel off of this, and expect it to be balanced. Look how short the axle is, and where the camber turnbuckle is, no room back there. https://i.imgur.com/sI8eyR2.jpg Turns out there is one very solid...

Good choice on going with foams. The Speed Hawg replicas in the kit are pretty good on pavement but they have a couple things against them. They wear fairly fast and the sideways are not stiff enough to take side loads. I'll go into more on my thread though. Thanks! Looking forward to guilt free dr...

Would've loved to hear those little tires screeching around the track, I have to do that someday. Glad to know the details about the DS tires, thanks! When you mentioned body roll, I was immediately thinking about the anti-roll bar adjustments. Looking forward to hearing what setting works for you o...
