Very nice build honeyman. Everything looks every nice and neat. So many goodies to drool over. I've got to sit down and watch the videos still.

Not sure if it was already mentioned but you need to get you some poly carbonate specific paint. Regular and isn't flexible, that is why it flaked off.

| ![]() Duplicolor Vinyl & Fabric Coating works as well or better than polycarbonate-specific paints. I've never had it chip or flake ever, and I use it exclusively on my basher bodies. Upsides: it's $8 for an 11oz can, while Tamiya is usually $8 for a 3oz can. You can get it at pretty much any autoparts store. Downside: it only comes in 11 colors. But if you're looking to go with basic colors (like... the colors car interiors come in: black, white, tan, blue, red, charcoal, etc) you can't go wrong. |

As far as prep I wash with warm soapy water and air dry. after masking I scuff the body with a red 3mM pad then wipe it down with alcohol on a lint free rag. | |

Looks good! LURC does state that their spool does require fitment to the axles. It’s a tight fit like you stated. I’m curious to see what you notice with the spools. |
