53HRA Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Hi thanks for that . I must say I am finding spray painting the body at the back a pain . What part of shell are you finding difficult mate? When i sprayed mine i ended up using alot more paint then expected! 4 Tamiya cans when i only expect 2 at max! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesleyBryant Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Hi at the rear in the corners along the sides really difficult to get to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 That's why I use Fastrax Fast Finished, they are much bigger than Tamiay cans and only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 There is funny crease above the rear aches which is a pain to paint properly, I've painted 2 Sawback shells but both have been painted on the outside for a more realistic paint finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Just paint it on the outside, it looks 100% better IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesleyBryant Posted July 24, 2014 Author Share Posted July 24, 2014 Hi thanks for the tips when you painted yours on the outside what paint do you use and did you use anything on top of the paint to protect it any tips on painting it on the outside will be great because I might get another body for it.

53HRA Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Wesley,nothing has gone wrong yet bud Slightly angle the shell and spray in the awkward places.Eventually you will get the coverage you want - Heres mine,and yeah i must admit (as i said before),i used 4 cans which seemed alot more then normal,but you will get there in the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted July 24, 2014 Share Posted July 24, 2014 Theirs just a niggling feeling stopping me hit the buy button, but I've not worked out what it is yet lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibo Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 If you can source one in the UK,then go for the Teken 35T combo aprox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Theirs just a niggling feeling stopping me hit the buy button, but I've not worked out what it is yet lol. I know that feeling.... I've thought about buying a slow RC several times, but never actually did. In my case, I know there are very few places around where I would be able to drive it over any kind of rough terrain or anywhere that was interesting. With a fast RC, flat grass is OK, as the fun comes from the speed. Go for a slow RC, and the challenge comes from the terrain....and that means finding good places.

I think that's it with me too, we have some okay places round here for a crawler though, I think with me it's nobody to run with, I think I'm convincing my mate Ray to get one as well so we can go trailing as well. He comes through on a regular basis (usually 2 or 3 times a week) so it'd be nice to have the option of going slowly. Plus the fact you get a good 1 1/2 hours from a single LiPo is appealing lol.
