Anyone into R/C?

Also @Deathbysnusnu is your nephew still driving the red truck with the white door? Saw him texting and driving last week on that first real snow day....


Blonde mop top dude?

 

Yep.

 

I laughed at first because the new law about using a mobile device while driving went into effect first of the year. Then I said wait I know that truck. Then I thought fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me....

 

I actually have a tool for this.

Not sure what size these fit, so do some research before ordering.
the sizer is nice to get the links silky smooth on the ball.

and ball link pliers are nice to have. One size does not fit all, but will fit most better than using finger tips.

Change of plans

 

Careful using multiple brands of paint. Make sure they offgas and cure completely or they may react like I had happen.

Although I think that's a spazstix issue.

I made one of those from an old dog bone output for 10th scale links but didn't have or know of anything for 24th

 

Excited to see it brotha!!!

 

Try the end of one of those 4-way wrenches that comes with the RTR's. It fit the Injora's perfectly.

 

I ain't scurred

 

I did say this is the "I don't know what I'm doing budget build"

 

You and I both

 

And budget cause I'm still incorporating Injora parts

 

Painting ain't my thing. Might leave the body clear, so the coolness beneath can be seen.

Injora makes good stuff cheap. I've never had a problem them. It may not always fit, but it works fine when it does.

 

Cutting board or piece of derlin thick enough, cut it out yourself, cheap and easy.

 

Man, when that paint dries it makes the soap behind it dry as well



Had to run a q tip to get rid of the stuck paint but so far I'm digging it

*trust the process*

 

@Kwikvette
Is that a proline coyote or the cliffhanger? The coyote's been kind of growing on me

 

Cliffhanger!

 

Quarantined in my office with the flu, staring at RC stuff nearby on my desk... too much headache to work on anything... ugh

 

@Strictlytoyz

Get that body painted!

That way you can have a few days to let the paint cure before putting it all together

 

My body still says "preparing shipment"
