Hey guys, I recently joined the hobby, got myself an Outcast 8S EXB and I strapped a max 5 with the 1100kv motor, bunch of aluminum upgrades and traded it off. Anyways a couple trades later and I just acquired a 5T v1. It was not cared for… at all. So I’m in the process of unfuking it. I took out the outdrives, the springs, the tie rods and the chassis bracing from the rear so far. I sanded the rust off wherever it was and painted all the metal with Rustolium black stainless steel and then put a clear coat on. For the drive cups I let my daughter use one of her metallic markers and pick the colour. I hope the paint last at least a couple runs on the outdrives lol, maybe I should get some mud guards? Or is it an exercise in futility? Maybe a couple extra clear coats? Please keep in mind I’m new to this, so go easy on the ball busting
