The stock body looked really slick with the cf. Did you paint that?

Hi all!
Thanks for the comments!

Yes i really like that carbon fiber look, and i think it looks well.
Let me tell you all about that look...

I use the best imitation of carbon fiber that you could find in the market that is from 3M. Will can see many aplication examples in the tunning fan cars. Its not cheap but worth every penny! Its better to be applied with heat (hair drier) and after moulding it's done. Google it...!

In a negar future i will also VP case and plate in the front.

Also i'm thinking about some hand wound Team Brood motors. What do you think i should buy, 45T or 35T?

Thank you all for you comments a oppinions and excuse my bad english...!

I'm running 55T brood handwound motors and unless you're looking for a gain in wheelspeed, 45T should give you the best of two worlds, torque and wheelspeed... Your rig is great !!!

I've been changing some PM with EddieO and his opinion is also 45T.

First i need to change the stock material in the front axle to the rc4dw material and also the VP case and plate (just like i've already done in the rear axle).

2 Quesations

1.Did apply the cabon fiber inside the body?

2.When did you cut put the windows? Did you cut the windows first?

Hi there.
This is a BJV4

In the stock plastic body i've applied the 3M Carbon Fiber Vinil with heat (not easy at all) and only after the work is done i've cutted the windows with a very sharp blade.

Its better to do that with someone to help or it will became VERY dificult.

The 3M vinil is applied over the body (in the exterior).

Thanks for the comments and feedback, what you need from me "be my guest"

What kind of music do you play?
I play a little bluegrass, but not too well.
I do however, have a great little Gibson mandolin.
Nice work on the Crawler !

Great work on the BJ-10 Nuno ss. I also like the CF look. Great job on laying it down, looks really smooth.
I can tell you that i wouldn't trade my 35t Br00ds for anything, except new ones.

I currently run the 45T broods and like them, but Iam really considering switching to the 35T's. but it all depends on how you drive. Just my 2 cents

Love the CF look also
