My attempt at scale rhino lined dingo to help protect from trail rash.
let me know what you think.

eemmaaxxxx · 01-02-2011, 04:14 PM

Is that designed for 1:1's? It looks really thick. Also is it a grippy textured surface??

kincer · 01-02-2011, 04:16 PM

I think it looks good,did you have somebody spray it for you or is it do it yourself?

DareDiver · 01-02-2011, 04:18 PM

Does it add much extra weight up top or no? Looks bad ass though. good job.

you just took all the fun out of it!!! u gotta have scratches on the rig!!! Thats the whole point!!!

How well did the lining stick to the lexan? How much prep work was involved?

Jer · 01-02-2011, 06:24 PM

I tried applying a professional spray in liner to a short course lid I did for a friend. It didn't stick worth a crap, and it was pretty heavy afterward. I even had it sprayed on fairly thin to avoid the weight problem.

Hey guys I think it looks bad a$$ too. Ok so now this is what I did. Its not real bed liner I was going for the look of real bed liner.
1. First get the stickers off duh
2. Took some scotch bright and rough up the lexan
3. After taping I sprayed a med. coat of flat black camo paint
4. Right after spraying I sprinkled fine play sand
5. Right after spray a med. coat
6. Let dry for a while till most of the gloss was flatten
7. Spray a thin 3rd coat let fully dry
8. Spray the last coat heavy let dry
9. Remove the tape enjoy your new rhino look

I have no idea how long this is going to last and hold up, but im going to see I plan on getting a new body at some point so if it lasts till then Ill be happy.

If anyone does this to there scaler put up some pics.

O it didn't seem to add any weight nothing noticeable.

My brothers 1/1 with herkuliner on it.

Jer · 01-02-2011, 07:34 PM

That makes total sense, no worries about it sluffing off, just scratching which would look pretty cool if you painted silver behind it. Had me fooled and I see the stuff every day lol

canadianbacon · 01-02-2011, 08:23 PM

Looks cool, but if you're worried about scratching the body I think you picked the wrong segment of the RC hobby lol.

Verted · 01-02-2011, 08:57 PM

Not worried about scratching the body. Just some people do It to their 1/1 and I thought it would be nice scale look.

eemmaaxxxx · 01-03-2011, 12:51 AM

I can see why you''ve done it and it does replicate 1:1 well. With a rough textured surface though the shell won't slide over things as easily.

2500hdon37s · 01-03-2011, 09:11 AM

i think it looks goon on just the rocker panels, not the whole side. but thats a good way of doing it!

th67ss · 01-03-2011, 10:31 AM

I think it looks good, it also helps setting it apart from the other Dingo's out there
