Olight uses those connectors on many of their flashlights. Great idea!

I have magnetic body mounts on my crawler. They look great and are much easier to use than pins. The strength is incredible pulling straight but the slightest force sideways and they separate very easily.

The Fleetside uses the Fazer FZ02L chassis (long wheelbase 274mm, 10.78"). You can swap that to a FZ02 chassis (shorter 260mm wb, 10.24") pretty easy with just a chassis and driveshaft274 replacement. Parts are just about $40. If just shortening 1/2" looks like it will work for that b...

...or you leave out the drivesahft and now it's a 2wd?

Quick 'n Dirty... 'cause monster trucks need liveries!

The Monster DEW:


Bummer on the 'vette wheelbases, but at least the chassis/shaft to shorten it aren't expensive if you decided to.

That's a whole lot of pink. Reminds me of watermelon flavored Bubble Yum more than Mountain Dew

Could see the USA-1 being a better match. The extra height and all. Looks cool on the chassis... even when it doesn't have the snazzy graphics

I would think PS49 could get you there with the correct backing.

I've also had excellent luck with Mountain acrylic graffitti paint from art supply stores. Metallics aren't an option, but the pallette is broad.

There's nothing foolish about using automotive paint on lexan. Just "prime" the body with PS-55 and I think you'll be fine.
Also, apparently adhesion promoter can be used with lexan but I've never tried it.

I'm not sure how well automotive paint will bond to Lexan. For one thing, it's meant to bond to properly-roughed-up primer on a hard surface, and you can't be priming the inside of a Lexan body shell or that's all you'll see, glossy battleship grey. It's also not meant to be flexible so auto paint o...

I use poly acrylic spray paint. Its cheap and found all over. I also back with the cheapest white I have laying around. Poly paint first and the white doesn't crack. Don't have to buy expensive white. Just spray white before the poly colors cure. If you use an acrylic clear first you can put any pai...

There's nothing foolish about using automotive paint on lexan. Just "prime" the body with PS-55 and I think you'll be fine. Also, apparently adhesion promoter can be used with lexan but I've never tried it. Tamiya PS-55 is Flat clear, the Flat won't dull the layer beneath it? I've only us...

I'm not sure how well automotive paint will bond to Lexan. Bonds fine... some brands just doesn't hold up to abuse as well. When we were in school all our Lexan bodies were shot with automotive paint because it was cheaper and more readily available. What makes Tamiya PS a "lexan paint" i...

I could not agree more.
Kyosho's electrics in general, and their Tx's in particular, are the best of any RTR I own. A+

Car is lookin' good. Especially from that low 3/4 view. 👌 Hard choice on the wheels... I dig the Torq Thrusts with the darker blue. Lets the Rallys go on your tribute car to match the original. Looking at the screwhead on the Rallys, wondering if the wheels were painted black and chrome screw caps w...

The Tamiya Bus reminded me of the movie Rolling Vengeance: Rolling Vengeance.jpg I like the look of the snoop nose monster truck bodies... be funny to paint one to match your box art GT. Oh... no... wait... snoop nose?! ...MONSTER BARON!!! :mrgreen: Monstor Baron.JPG ...all goofing around aside, the...
