Haric’s mcd w5 max ultimate build

[Haric]

I'd be careful doing it on the outside. It wont hold up well. Pitdawg hydro did mine and said the same thing. He always does bodies on the inside unless he isnt able to

Oh yeah for sure John. I know it’s gonna get messed up if it’s done outside. It’s my bashing body. It’s cheaper if I make a copy of it from fiberglass or carbon fiber rather than buying another just to mess it up. $189 from cardinal racing plus $150 shipping.
The original clear body will be done sometime in the future

 

[Rc stoner]

I’m gonna be hydrodipping the body copied in fiberglass or carbon fiber. Which pattern do you guys think is the best out of the 3?

You have inspired me to try this out. I think once a new c1 storm cage is available im gonna try doing it.

Made a block off plate for one of the hydrax brake servo slot and installed the skyrc switch on the plate. I used @niz55 ’s trick to hide the wires but instead of de soldering the wires, I just rerouted it and put the cover back

 

[niz55]

Damn that is even more easier and cleaner. Good job.

Thank you brother much appreciated I had to make it John . Too much flex on the b/t servo.

Thank you Clayton. They already have in the mcd fb page I guess it’s a common problem mcd should include something like this for the b/t servo. Too much flex

That's pretty pathetic for the cost of that thing.

That’s what I’m sayin’ Sean

And he got the ultimate mine have the same problem but because we overkill with that servo ~40 kg is a bit much for a plastic electric tray.
