Bob's Your Uncle - This Is How I Bob Scale RC Crawler Beds For A Nice Result

Рет қаралды 3,964

5 ай бұрын

This is the process of how I bob the bed of a hard body RC truck. It was all done using inexpensive hand tools so please don't be afraid to try it yourself! I've used these principals to shorten and lengthen MILLIONS of RC trucks.
Some of the supplies and tools used:
Dozuki/pull saw
MEK substitute for the “glue”
Bondo Glazing Putty (filler)
Aerosol filler primer
Hobby knife
Sanding sponge
Needle file
Nail file/sanding stick
Spring clamp
Bar clamp

Man, I wish I had seen this a week earlier before I bobbed my bed. I've never thought about using the cut section to reinforce on the back side.

Good enough reason to build another truck and save all of your scraps. I have boxes full of cut-offs.

This is such a good video. It shows to a T what all is needed to make perfect cuts and bonds. It think it should have lead with a banner that read “patience not included”. Even showing people how to properly shake a can was a nice touch.

I often wonder if this is actually patience or just obsession. I’m very impatient. Reason why I don’t hunt or fish or golf or leave home and so on. But thanks!

Excellent video, simple and straight-forward (as always)! Fortunately, having started with scale models, I have lots of experience with styrene so, I've found it very useful with scale RCs. I would love to see how you pinch a styrene bed. Much more involved and something a little more advanced, that would be great! 👍

@turksandjerps 5 ай бұрын

Thank you! I had very little styrene experience before RC except for model railroad structure building. If I ever have to pinch a bed again I’ll be sure to make a video.

I’m very disappointed nobody told me I have done it wrong and that using a bandsaw with a fence would’ve done it much quicker without any measuring and that I’m an idiot but I have used a table saw several times to cut beds and it works fine but it’s kind of sketchy and I don’t want to promote unsafe behavior so once again thanks for all of that sick content you do and I wouldn’t have pinched the nose on the Hilux the way you did I would’ve used a table saw.
