Can I clear coat over the body without wed sanding it first? The paint is clean and smooth, its just a little dull in spots.

Finally had time to get this in paint. I used duplicolor white sandable primer and two cans of TS-39 mica red. It turned out good, I did several light coats of the mica red. The mica red over the white primer doesn't look as dark as I thought, almost looks like the box art color.
I'm going to let all the parts sit for a week or two before I do anything else. I'm thinking about a few coats of clear but I'm a little nervous to clear anything after getting the body to this point. Last time I tried to clear something the paint wrinkled. If I use tamiya clear over the tamiya mica red is there a chance it will wrinkle?

I think this is what your looking for .
Thank you, thats is what I was looking for.

Anyone out there have a BB project apart right now that they can take some close up pics and measurements and trace a template that I can print out and make these?
I can't get the down force I need on the long strights without this rear wing.
-
page 20 in the manual, called "wing support" r7
I can make something that will work, but it would be cool if I could almost copy the originals for my shelf queen..... that is unless someone has a set of originals laying around?

I'm looking for a template for the two metal brackets that connect the rear wing to the main wing on the blazing blazer. Mine are missing and I want to make something close, I can image what they would look like but does someone have a template that I can print out? Are the flat? How long are they? Any help?

Thanks guys, I'm going to try duplicolor sandable primer and then tamiya mica red on a busted up bruiser bed that I have to see how it does.

I have an original mountaineer body that I'm getting ready to re-paint again because the first time it wrinkled. I must have used enamels with laquers or something. Anyway, I what to paint this tamiya body using mica red TS-39.
Can I use duplicolor sandable primer - then tamiya TS-39 - then duplicolor T125 clear?
I think the tamiya TS paints are laquer, and the duplicolor primers and clears laquer based too?
I have tried searching on here and google but can not find anyone that can give me a positive yes that it will work, can someone provide some feedback or show some step by step to get those beautiful finishes.
It's taking me so much work to get this body back to a point where its almost ready for paint, infact its been apart for abour 3-4 years waiting to get finished. My plan is to finish my mountaineer, hilux, blazing blazer and my extra bruiser body this spring so they are done and ready to sit on the shelf and collect dust.

So is the blackfoot 3 windshield and back window the same as the original? If it is where can I order one from, no one seems to have one listedand Tamiyausa does not have it listed either, any ideas?

I am running the Novak 11t pinion in a Blazer with no issues, gearbox is nice and smooth with no excess wear to the spur.
I have spacers fitted on each screw behind the motor which move it out from the transmission by around 2mm which is just enough to keep the grub screw from catching. I used this method in preference to grinding down the screw / edge of spur gear in case I got a proper pinion in future and to make changing the motor easier.
Was in exactly the same situation about 6 months ago with my Blazer even though it was sold as RTR!
Thanks I will give it a try, my lhs has one so I will try it tonight.

I need a pinion gear for the hilux I'm building, I know they are hard to get and they only came with the hilux and BB. There seems to be a lot of post on the subject but not answers as to what will really work. Has anyone actually used one of these pinions below in there hilux/BB?

I understand that the screw needs to be ground down or space the motor back so the screw doesn't rub the spur gear, this is a runner with some modifications so original doesn't matter.
Thanks

old hilux
the problem seems to be the bead on the mudslingers, I can't get both rim halves to meet with the inserts in the tire and without the inserts the tire is just to loose.
-
so just stock tires and the BFGs? anyone put any other 1.9 tires on hilux rims?
-
Whats the trick to get RC4WD 1.9 mudslinger tires on hilux rims, do I use the inserts?
-
In the picture on page 3 of the blackfoot body it looks like there is no separate moon/sun roof piece, or is it just me?
-
I need two of them as well, I hope there is a pinion out there somewhere that will work. Everything that I have read says you need the original one because no one makes one that fits. I've searched ebay on and off for a few months but no luck.

"- Of-course I feel for the people of Japan (who wouldn't), but I thought this was a Tamiya website, not Facebook ..." haha nice
When I first read your post I understood what you meant, in all honesty I was curious too and of course everyone feels for the people of Japan what kind of person would you be if you didn't?

HI!... I have a a sand blasting cabinet that was converted to very fine glass bead. Works great on RC plastic.
I've tried this before and it didn't work good, kind of messed up the body, what psi were you using and what grit is the glass bead?

Just finished this, stock clod, oil filled shocks, super rooster, venom 19t firebal motos, dual hitec 645mg servos on homemade servo mounts and blazer body. I'm happy with it so far, but its a clod, can anyone ever really be finished modifying a clod?

I have a slightly modified bruiser for a runner, the rest of my three speeds are shelf queens, I have a mudblaster and blackfoot shelf queen and a super blackfoot for a runner, I have a restored clod shelf queen and a lightly modified clod as a runner. I have more shelf queens but the bruiser, super blackfoot and clod runners are ones that I actually like to run, the rest are just fun to restore and look at. I like a lot of the vintage stuff, but there are few that I had when I was a kid and few that I always wanted when I was a kid. Every R/C I own I have driven, the shelf queens get driven before I restore them. The runners are disassembled, cleaned and re-assembled with bearings and a few updates to make them better runners.
Painting hard bodies - yes I searched - please help

I don't want to wet sand and burn throught the paint. The paint is very smooth but just dull from painting several light coats, I never did one heavy coat to build up a shine. I might pick up a can of tamiya clear and put a few coats on and see how it looks.
