for overspray it tells you right on the paint container/can what to do for overspray

Brandon · 12-27-2005, 05:18 PM

wasnt there a plastic covering over the body? If you leave that on you wont get overspray. What type of paint was it? if its faskolor water might work...

Denatured alcohol works for me. Looks good. Try some softer springs maybe.

i pulled that off the body because i wanted to crawl it before i painted it, and i didnt want that to get all screwed up. i used plasti-cote automotive paint.

its first snow run

nylintcrawler13 · 12-30-2005, 08:55 PM

did you do any water proofing?

rcbif · 12-30-2005, 08:57 PM

looks like you had fun! How are the mashers in the snow? Do they get cloged easy? I took my tlt in the snow last week but it was to powdery to stick to anything

OIT_TLT · 12-30-2005, 10:37 PM

water proofing has definetely been done to this one. us oregon guys seem to get more rain than sun, so waterproofing is a must! the mashers do alright in the snow, but more wheelspeed helps them alot

JakeDaSnake · 12-30-2005, 10:52 PM

You can dip a rag in some paint thinner and get it off, just test the thinner you have on a scrap piece...

i got it figured out, thanks for the input 8-)

OIT_TLT · 01-03-2006, 07:15 PM

got another update, its not big, but whatever. i found out that part of the suspension problem was from the lower links not being triangulated, so i fixed that today and the flex is a little better. i also was gonna narrow the wheels and the tires, but gave up on the tires after i saw how sweet it looked with just narrowed wheels. well, onto the pics.
just playin around while the glue was dryin

now, doesnt that look better??

hi

flex shot

Looks good scoot a little paint goes a long ways should work better with the new wheels and more flex, looks like its at the legal limit for a scaler

miniwheeler · 01-03-2006, 10:42 PM

OIT_TLT · 01-03-2006, 11:19 PM

OIT_TLT · 01-12-2006, 12:42 AM

Nice one scoot.. what did you try jumping it off your wall..

Unimoger · 01-12-2006, 09:19 AM

looks like you need a tlt kit, just buy another one for backup, you'll need all of it eventually.
