Good find and good you've found a project to finish , what are the radio boxes made of , I can't tell from the pictures if they are lexan or ABS , if they are AbS then you could use a 3d pen to weld up the cracks , you'd have to sand it down flat afterwards but it would make a strong repair .

Thanx,

it's like ABS, but i'm not sure.


This is the next step



Sanding, primer, sanding, paint...












new screws :






for next days to come





for the seconde radio box, i will maybe only use varnish

Looks really good , i love the front suspension its so scale real .

hi everyone,

I pretty much advanced on what I wanted to do even if I made a big dumpling ...

So, I repainted the rims and it was the easiest, I continued the radio installation and rebuild the mecha esc, I drilled the radio box for the antenna wire , I "pimped" the vintage radio, I took pictures to shit as usual ...


I start by showing you the dumpling, namely a cutout for the passage of the motor cables in the cover of the radio box freshly repaired and repainted ... BIG DUMPLING because I made it 5mm next ... suddenly I l have left (I am an asshole).

In short, luck is that I redid two covers of radio boxes, the second will go on the chassis.







Otherwise, I therefore have "PIMPED" the radio with A2 stainless steel






After, so I repaint the rims






Then, the radio part (I haven't finished inside) and some wiring





And, I still tried to make a little prettier pictures











More in the coming weeks (or days);)

Here we are, the end of the tunnel.
