That looks incredible!

It’s been awhile since my first post but I’ve finally had time to try my booth. I’m starting an SRB build and the booth did really well as I applied primer to the scorcher shell. I was lazy and didn’t vent the exhaust through a window but plan to do so tomorrow when I do more painting. Even so I could tell that the boat bilge fan was doing a good job drawing fumes away from the body  

The funny thing is that I just moved to a larger home so this booth will probably end up being the prototype for a wooden booth. 

[Thoughts on XV-01]

I’m thinking about getting one of the XV01 kits with the long dampers and I was wondering what people’s thoughts are about these? Are they fun to build/bash?

I’m using a power supply from an old battery charger. It works for right now but I’m sure I’ll have to replace it eventually.

@JuggularThe fan is 4 inches and is rated at 220. It looks super tiny but pushes a ton of air out the back

@speedy_w_beansThe space is thankfully heated and is my office/workshop

my rear ducting is metal and my friend suggested I should ground it due to static buildup. Anyone else think static/spark will be an issue?

Please do!

I purchased the plastic panels from Home Depot. They came in 4x8 sheets and I used two of them for the build. Honestly, I think a bathroom extractor will work just fine if you have it. Adding a cheap furnace filter in front of it will help keep the nasty bits from getting through. Thankfully my bilge fan only cost $30 on Amazon because I didn’t have anything else around the house.

I decided that it was time to finally create a spray booth so that I could keep painting through the winter. I’m about 90% done with my first attempt but I think it will make a good prototype. The structure is corrugated plastic panels that I bought at Home Depot. It’s held together with plastic L brackets that are glued to their respective panels. Masking tape holds the panels to eachother so that i can remove and dissemble the booth when not in use. For ventilation I’m using a 220 cfm bilge blower and dryer ducting that will vent outside. I picked a bilge blower since it’s rated to operate in explosive environments. Finally, a battery powered led under cabinet light provides illumination . I’ll post final pics but I hope this helps give others ideas so that they can keep painting while it’s cold out.

Thanks for the confirmation. I remember a while back hearing that the mfc-01 didn’t play nice with 2.4ghz systems but that may have been due to digital trims.

Could someone tell me if the MFC-01 is compatible with the Tamiya 4YWD 2.4 GHz radio?

thanks!
