Basic introduction to how vacuum forms have traditionally been made for RC bodies.
Not complete how to, but start into understanding the process and materials that have been used for decades.

I just painted my last Dahm's VW body. I always loved the strength of their bodies.

This has been sooo helpful, and I'm not even working on an RC body. I am trying to make headlight lenses for a classic car. Do all the tips for the molds hold true if I am trying to vacuum form 2mm thick acrylic?

I made a body and I’m going to make the female mold so I can get body ready to form, but I’m not sure the material I need to pour into to make my mold, I’ve tired plaster before and wasn’t the best, I’ve also tired fiberglass resin and matt to get strength but I’d rather buy and use some type of Epoxy, I’m only doing it for fun of my own rc hobby and love creating stuff! Thanks again for the video.

I've been working on all this with HO scale slot car bodies. All the bits about the bucks which I do make my own came as common sense to me and I do have those features built into my much smaller forms. What I would love to hear from you about are the finer points of wrinkle reduction. Basically ways to design things like the blocks in the beginning that will stop the polycarbonate from building up on corners. I generally work with .010" polycarbonate sheet. I'm also using a dental cast vacuum machine. I've had quite a few problems with this. I feel like I'm overheating the plastic to get the details, also I'm concerned I don't have enough suction but I know others use this same machine with success. I have had some success with various designs but I would be interested to hear what you have to say. I'm definitely doing the right basics on the bucks like no undercut areas and having the hollow cavity with suction holes in corners and seams. As far as I can tell I'm doing things to the best of my knowledge but it is limited knowledge. Great video. Thanks for posting. Anything you can suggest that might help would also be greatly appreciated. I'm a huge RC fan too. I've been racing since vintage cars were new. Still have a huge collection. I remember some of these from back in the day. Great content. 👍

Hi, wish I could help you better. Maybe your machine has a bad pump? Sounds really like you are getting you plastic too hot because the pump isn't getting things formed well at lower temps.

Hi, amazingly, the video says a lot, but if you could make a body, I think I didn't find the form, I found your videos, thank you, Lubo.

Hi, thanks for these interesting videos, exactly what I was looking for. I want to reproduce old existing bodies from my 90s Kyoshos. Do you have a few tips on how I could go about making a mold?

If you can find a good quality original body you can back poor material into the body. But be aware, depending on how much the material shrinks as it cures it can go from a little smaller than original to much smaller.

Thanks looks like i made my first buck properly then.... the only thing is what temp do you heat your buck too the resin i used is 128c capable and I added about 14 to 20% aluminium powder to it.
@SabulaTech
@SabulaTech 3 жыл бұрын
The buck is usually heated to about 115C depending on the the design it might be higher. If it has a big flat surface on top then it goes higher. Good luck!

I have never seen that done. Probably have a problem with the gel coat handling the 300F or more temps of the plastic over time.
