| Hard Coating polystyrene (foam) ?
Im not talking about bedliner! What i am looking for is the stuff that they use to make synthetic caves and such. At I-hobby Duratrax and losi had layouts that appeared to be just hard coated foam. It was a better (less) traction than bedliner and more durable plus I have to imagine cheaper. I have found a few refferences to DIY stuff online but none of the manufactures have returned my emails... As large as this forum is someone out there has to know something.... |

I made a crawler demo pod thing a while ago and just coated it with PVA glue. I mixed a little sand it to give it extra traction and it worked great. The only draw back was that it couldn't be used it out doors but I didn't build it for outdoor use anyway. |

I was looking at the stuff from Hotwirefoam... 3# $9 25# $29... definatly pays to buy in bulk. I just cant find any user reviews of the stuff and hate to waste $50 on it ($25 shipping) if it wont workout.
