Really appreciated this video!! About to start painting a bunch of bodies... Needed some pointers and tips, and this wrapped that up in a bow. Thanks a million! 11 bodies to paint seems less daunting now!! Excited to lay down my own colors, I got some high end glow in the dark/UV reactives I need to use, going to put in some blacklight L.E.D.'s to make my radiation paints POP!!! Very stoked now, enjoy rippin up that supra!!

Another awesome tutorial from IRONSIDE!!! Thanks for the tips mate! My favorite tip which I never thought of, was using the dry erase marker on the outside of the body! Seems to work so good. I always just use a regular sharpie since the outer protective film protects the actual body but I like the idea of being able to erase mistakes in the lines or if deciding to change it up! I look forward to your next video bro! :D

Quick question for the tail lights you leave outside clear? Paint inside silver? And just use red bulb ?

@IRONSIDE_RC Жыл бұрын

For taillights and headlights you leave it clear on the body just tape them off on inside or use provided light Masks. You would paint the light buckets black or silver usually you can install stickers or cut to make actual led bulb fit! Those get mounted inside the body. Leaving the body clear makes you see the light buckets on the inside giving it a realistic tailight appearance. Hope this helps

Hello! I would recommend the tamiya paint. Has to be PS - polycarbonate approved because the lexan rc body's are very flexible. Normal spray paint like rust- Oleum would Crack and flake off after some hits and movement / flex

How do I measure the body to fit my chasis, is it by the wheelbase or width?

@IRONSIDE_RC Жыл бұрын

Deffinately wheelbase Is the most important! If your wheels don't line up will have rubbing and steering issues! Width is good also to match up with your rim offset. If you search your chassis online can usually find the wheelbase and width pretty easy or look in you instruction manual
