atom3624 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Yeah, I'm a Castle fanboy, proud of it too. Gone back to chevrons after years of trying loads of others. Love the look and sound of them, especially on Tarmac, nothing like them. Try to stretch to an XL2 - apologies if its grannies and eggs. The difference it made to my Maxx was ridiculous - from the 3M!! Obviously the motor must be spinning faster, but it runs cooler - ESC obviously has no problems. I had all 4 40 Series Big Joes ballooning to near 40% bigger overall diameter when I held full for a few seconds the other day - NEVER seen that before!! Al. I love the Losi 1/8 chevrons they used on the Raminator - like hen's teeth now, but they grip superbly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a house full all 'Summer Hols' - and its a small house - so not much of an opportunity to wire up the Ram. If it comes, I've got the bullets ready as/when I get the opportunity, and .... let's see how the Ram goes!! Heh!! Heh!! Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 That's right. It's good already, on the 3M, and I've nearly got the XL2 ready, but think I'll try swapping the 6.5's to the 8mm ones I have on the ESC - going with the bigger wires - so I can remove whenever I want. Gives me the option to go 8S if I want to consider it in the future, but that will be with another motor ...... NOT NECESSARY ........ Damned expensive hobby! Al.

teshi Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 What paint do you use on Alloy Teshi?Just left over Tamiya PS-15 for this. I was interested to see 1. If it would stick and 2. If it would look good.Turns out it was a yes to both and then just sealed it off with a clear lacquer from Halfrauds. Its already feeling very durable to touch and handle so I can see this lasting a nice while before I get bored and want to change it.

richarddenton1982 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Nice. When I get bored with my RCs I change parts. Im liking the idea of painting them instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teshi Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Nice. When I get bored with my RCs I change parts. Im liking the idea of painting them instead.I prefer it. With my chassis, they didnt do any colour variations apart from the VIP Limited Edition which had solid red anodized alu parts so I was stuck with a silver boring looking thing.The purple worked well but was delicate every a few days after but if this works, I have a feeling it will be a decent thing to do every so often. Save me money changing parts all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teshi Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) How did you get the patterns on it? Is it just random?I won some masks from a drift competition a while back but since im still new to the whole shell painting thing, I never really used em. I chopped em up and used them on the alu instead. It didnt matter even if they were not 100% perfect since once I have a shell on, you dont see it as much.

Oh How Original Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I never imagined paint would stick so well to such small alloy parts. Do you just prep in the normal manner of very fine wet and dry and then primer and paint or just straight on with paint? Quite interested to do something similar myself as I'm not keen on the mis-matched pink on my D3 chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was degreased too and then just sprayed the paint straight on. No wet/dry prep work done. Just used a dremel to make sure it kept its shine before painting and away I went.

Oh How Original Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 When my dogs back in health and I've no risk of another vet bill, I'm considering buying some bits for the D3, alloy steering system, 55Deg CVDs, front one way etc... Tempting to do all the parts in a nice subtle colour, as I said, the pink is mis-matched and it's bloody annoying me lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
