Rampage Mt 1st Run \ Crash

It will be processed right away. As far as painting. I practice technique on the inside of 2 liter bottles. Cut empties in half. Clean the inside, remove the label from the out side and you have nice little practice bodies to work on.

What do you think about repairing this RCDAD?

paint it first, then use shoe goo and dy wall mesh tape. but just me, these other guys on here may have ideals for ya.

 

[jwoods81]

Thanks. I'll try that.

+1 on the drywall mesh tape and shoe goo works great for repairs and reinforcement.

Yep, mesh tape and goo.

I'd drill pilot holes and zip tie it every inch and a half.. then paint it..its never gonna look great. But the ties will hold it.

It's 11:20pm and we just finished replacing the front end. It is taken all I have not to fire her up and go for a spin so I'm calling it a night. I noticed when I was taking the front end replacement parts apart that I had use inner cylinder body mount rods because the new ones did not have them.

Redthomas - would you be interested in the wheels I mentioned earlier.

How have those trucks been running in the past few weeks, any other issues after running them?

 

[jwoods81]

Sorry Mike I have been away from the site a while. I have had the truck out several times and have replaced even more parts. Today I took the truck to the park after work and raced it around the baseball field. I did a small jump "2 feet in the air" and when it landed it rolled 1 time.

Broken parts:

Rear Upper Sus Arm

Front Steering Servo Saver

Seems these plastic parts although very thick, very CRAPPY

Do you have to use locktite when installing the tires on the truck?
