[HARDRIVE]

Lol
Good idea no hassles in shipping it
Any specail preparation to do before you shipped lipos?

[HARDRIVE]

I cant believe this
Everything that i wanted to order for my project is out of stock from rc4wd wtf
I wanted to order the roof rack
Cront and back bumpers

[HARDRIVE]

Anybody knows where else i can order accessories for my project?

[-SCXD90-]

Look no further than RPPhobby.com . I love their store. They also have the roof rack and bumpers from RC4WD that you wanted. I know nothing about shipping lipos in Cali or Hawaii so you'll have to check with the local postal service about that

[HARDRIVE]

I just emailed them they do not have the roof rack for the d110

I found a roof rack tho from rcmodelex@seznam.cz
I also emailed them just to Mke sure itll fit



Ill order this one

The Shopping Cart : maxinaobote.com

Painting 101 for newbie
My first paint job was a tf2 lol
It was butchered paint job

But this time around i copied medic's youtube video
On how to paint hard body

THANX MEDIC

Sucks to be on this island sometimes
I cant find a tamiya yellow paint
My original plan was to paint it flat yellow



This is all i can find on this island lol
No matter no biggies i have read somewhere
About this krylon being used on their hard body


According to medic's instructions
Take your time no rush
Light paint and more paint after


First thin layered paint
And wait for it to dry


Second layers of paint



And third layer later

I was having a hard time if i should go over at it just one more time
Heck i had so much more paint left
So 4 layers of paint later













I end up with a school bus looking rig hahahahha

Next plan to paint the inside and hinges window seals



So far i like the paint job
For me i like it it didnt turn out that shiny

[-SCXD90-]

Beautiful!!! Sexy lookin school bus ya got there ;) can't wait for another update.

I decided to hold off on the d90 and I bought a fully upgraded e revo for 330 this thing is CRAZY fast

[-SCXD90-]

Already shredded 2 diffs on the e revo......lol. Any updates on the paint?

[HARDRIVE]

This is what it looks like today as it sits waiting for more Parts
I like how it turns out

[HARDRIVE]

Erevo?
Post a picture of it here
I need a new rc to play on the beach sand lol
That must really cool with paddle tires on it heheheh

[HARDRIVE]

I should have my roofrack and bumper in a day or two

Next plan is to work on the inside like dashboard floorpan etc.
My plan is the order a d90 body set
I can use the floor pan anc chairs for this project
And the d90 body?
Thinking of cutting it in half and turn it in to a pick up or flatbed truck
So far no luck in finding a d90 body set

[-SCXD90-]

I would post picture, but I have absolutely no idea how to hahahahah. I would say a good RC for the sand would be a rustler or a losi scb or something like that. The erevo is fun but there are too many weak points. Enough about my revo, let's talk about that Defender dude. It looks amazing. Glad to see you listened to Medic and came out with a great paint job. I do see a few imperfections in the fender flares but no one is paying attention lmao. I like the yellow rims too. I'm getting my Steelies painted but I need to decide on a color scheme. I'm thinking the back will be lime green and the front will be black. Then when I'm installing the tires (I've decided to get 1.7" IROKS and stretch them on the 1.9" rims. Why not?) and then make sure to offset the spokes so there is a tiny bit of the rear showing when you look at the front. It'll look cool and I'll try to post a build thread when I get working on it. I'll probably get the rims done and while I'm waiting on the rims then I will work on the body. Then tires, axles, and scale accessories.

[HARDRIVE]

Whats up man

Yup your right there are some imperfection on the paint hahahha
But much better than hiw it was atleast
Not like my tf2 its an eye sore lol

I plan on changing the tires on this project also
Im going to use something like a heavy beadlock rims available
And the widest tires possible

[-SCXD90-]

I'll have to PM you about those tires hahaha. If you want a heavy beadlock (notice how I didn't say a GOOD heavy beadlock), the Integy high mass beadlocks should be good. As for wide tires, they won't get much wider until you get into 2.2 XL and 3.8 tires.

If you want a GOOD heavy beadlock, keep the stock rims, go online and order wheel weights and stick them to the outside of the lock rings (you'll see a 2" black ring that holds the tire down when you start taking the rim apart), add as many as you want to. Make sure you give the tire room to compress, and also make sure the power system can move the truck.

[-SCXD90-]

Yay I found out how to upload pictures. That's my SCX10 in it's current form. Excuse the coffee bag on top, I was tired and needed coffee, then decided that I didn't have the energy to carry it so I grabbed my rig out of my car and yeah....hahah.

I'll get you a pic of the erevo once it gets back from the lhs. Someone gave me an offer on it for 340 rtr so I'm getting it overhauled to let the guy check it out. I might let him take it though, more money for the Defender 10 now

[-SCXD90-]

Well that didn't work....maybe this does.

Wahahahahah that scx10 just made my day lol
Im so going to try that
How many pounds is that bag lol
Pooor little scx10 workin really hard

[-SCXD90-]

It was 36 ounces. It barely had to work to move it. I had my exponentials set so 90% tx input is about 50% throttle on the truck. I didn't notice a change in power. The little rig has some pulling power. I'm about to get a brushless system- a Hobbywing 35a esc with a 1500kv motor. It'll have like a HUGE power to weight ratio. Should be about a .230 ratio. It'll be AMAZING lmao. And it'll run in 4s dual packs.

[-SCXD90-]

Sorry, it's 42 ounces of coffee beans. Either way, no power loss from the coffee. And I still have the bag (I took that picture on March 13th, my birthday. It was hilarious. If I can find a good battery I might post a video of it pulling stuff around with the jeep.
