  • After doing a little overview and review of 2 low cost micro RC cars in a previous video, I decided to customize one of the cars with some paint and custom 3D printed wheels. This ended up being a very fun little project and I'm pleased with the finished result. I may do some further customizing to this car, so let my know if you have any ideas below in the comments.

    I love these vids. And all of your projects. U should also try and swap out the electronics. And put some hobby grade stuff in

    Damn that turned out nice! Maybe add a tail pipe but personally I love how clean it looks as is.

  • @imnickMF
    @imnickMF Před 3 lety +48

    Hell yes, it looks so bad ass man! I definitely think you should paint the Ferrari as well.

  • @ebonwestbrook5580

    Definitely an improvement from base form. Only thing i would add besides exhaust would be scaled down decals of performance parts

  • @philspaghet
    @philspaghet Před 3 lety +1

    I love the build but there are a few AE86 specific details you should probably add. Like the tail lights are redlines so paint the little section above the taillights red, also things like turn signals and coloring the grille in like the Zenki AE86 front bumper. Those little details would really make your car pop!

    Nice build! I think you should do something with Ferrari as well. Also painting the bumper in black + 6 /8 spoke wheels would be looking much better for ae86.

    This is the first vid I've seen of yours but I am about to check out more. I have been wanting to get regular plastic models but I bought an sg 1603 rtr and I am going to mess with it. I had a nitro Traxxas I think the tmax but I didn't have much luck keeping it running. I'm interested in painting, it seems like it can be rewarding in the end.

    I have questions re drifting. I would like to hear comments from everyone if you have experience and thoughts. I am trying to understand what primary elements are necessary to get an RC car to drift well. My suspicion is tires and traction are paramount, that is about all I would guess. But what about center of gravity, 2wd vs 4wd, steering throw speed and total throw? What I’m wanting to do is get a 2wd traxxas Slash to drift on low traction dirt. Just looking for insight, thanks for any thoughts.

    Hi I was wondering if you can try to use one of these just the chassis and electronics to fit under a 1/25 or 24 scale car kit like a Z28, mustang, or charger I think if it works that's better than buying a 3d printer

  • @youknoweverything7643

    I bought one just to see what I could do and I used model car kit wheels and tires which worked amazing and looked better I had some model car tires that was kinda more slick and harder then the more realistic softer rubber model car tires for drifting of course and it worked like a dread and looked good I put a false floor in it cut out all the windows and put some clear plastic in for windshield and I took a dash and some seat backs from model car kits part boxes and it turned out awesome just wish it could be more of a hobby grade car
