CarlC Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) Made good progress with my ratty, Chevy body. The grille and bumpers have been distressed using iron based oxidising paint, 2 hours after the activator was applied it was very rusty 😜. Same paint has been applied to the dents and wheel arches. This was done after the paint had been sealed with a coat of PS-55 (flat clear), so it should carry on rusting as the truck is used (assuming we every get to go outside again). Just need to get some advice on body mounting and its ready to go.... Edited April 4, 2020 by CarlC 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazkopat Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 1 hour ago, CarlC said: It is a fun little truck. Not had a huge amount of time to drive it as I am in the middle of another build but it has tackled the few thinks I have thrown at it without any stress. Like all of the small crawlers it has it issue, the shocks are a bit bouncy, but I am going to do the grease mod Houghton and see if that improves things. The quality is good to, as you would expect from someone like Axial. Thanks I’m likely to get one to run it around in the garden and indoors whilst sipping my tea ☕️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Some more done on the Group B Quattro. A tiny bit disappointed the bonnet/hood stickers don't appear long enough, one end is perfect in line and the A pillar has some gap. I don't think I've made a mistake either, but maybe I did. Also a few pictures of how I like to do large or awkward decals. Little bit of tape, get it in place, stick it down to avoid movement, peel a little film back, cut the paper away, then slowly lay it down from the tape end so it's straight, push it into place, remove the tape, remove the film and stick down. Nice bubble free decals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post No brains Posted April 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) with this nice weather, I painted 2 bodies, the pink candy is for my Losi rock rey, and the purple candy is the porsche body for my tamiya Ta-03rs. I love how they turn out, the purple is real nice its like a dark bleu with a purple glow over it, it is difficult to see in a picture. I used absima paintz rattle cans for it, purple ice, and magenta ice and back it up with silver metallic.

Andy20xe Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Decided to give the big summit a new look. Now it either needs the body trimmer or some smaller wheels as there's a rubbage issue!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell horn. Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Cut some of it off. Moved the shocks a bit. Swapped axles over to drive shafts don't hit anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Got some stickers finished up, plenty more to do yet, not too happy with them but they'll do for getting the body bashed and dirty when it's finished. Magnets currently drying to body. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell horn. Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 More messing with the r1. It's got very almost 90 degrees of flex now. No binding of drive shafts now. And it's now running plus 10mm hex's. Need to order some dgs hubs for it. Unfortunately only place I can find them is from China on ebay. So that sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Alex97 Posted April 6, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Printed some new bits for it... New steering rack, rear mud guards and a spur gear cover. The joy of working from home means the printer can be running during the day. Going forward if anyone needs anything printed then drop me a PM Edited April 6, 2020 by Alex97 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everclear1984 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) Took the Outbacks for a walk. We walk this path everyday but it's the first time we've taken the Outbacks. We're so lucky to have these woods right behind our house, and to top it off the path is blocked by several fallen trees so we're incredibly unlikely to encounter anyone Last night I removed the broken servo from the Outback mini, ready for an electronics upgrade Edited April 7, 2020 by everclear1984 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
