lupogtiboy 454 Posted October 15, 2015 Wow, stunning build, the paint on that shell is amazing! I have started using marker pens a lot now as my painting skills suck if I'm honest, the only thing I find with Sharpies is that aren't actually black, more purple, but Pentel marker pens are black and have smaller nibs too.

Vrdetailing 1241 Posted October 15, 2015 That's interesting .. Yes they are a slight shiny purple .. I don't the dots on my wheels as well.. I can paint ok .. This was the first time I used a sharpie. Looking forward to doing the LED soon and a video Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neverfollow 599 Posted October 15, 2015 I used a pico switch for my LED's so that I can use my 3rd channel to turn them on and off from the radio. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vrdetailing 1241 Posted October 21, 2015 Ok LED. I use 100ohm resistors and various sized LEDs from Bright Components I plug in to the BEC signal form the spare receiver channel. Never had any issues Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vrdetailing 1241 Posted October 21, 2015 I use a small hand reamer and a spot of CA to hold them in place Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vrdetailing 1241 Posted October 21, 2015 I solder all joints and wire in parallel .. And I find black electrical tape holds it all on place nicely 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vrdetailing 1241 Posted October 21, 2015 I find the small jst connections good for the joint between body and chassis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

danb1974 93 Posted October 21, 2015 Nice work, bonus points for using heatshrink. I also like to use those red jst connectors for low current power connections. I prefer to fix leds in place using hot glue (does not seem to melt body, does not even seem to affect paint) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vrdetailing 1241 Posted October 21, 2015 I don't have a glue gun but I should get one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pininfarina 1009 Posted October 22, 2015 you should used the Porsche GT3 light buckets... it would make it way better than reamer. :-( so pretty the body colour.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vrdetailing 1241 Posted October 23, 2015 you should used the Porsche GT3 light buckets... it would make it way better than reamer. :-( so pretty the body colour.. Thanks for the complement I guess.

TeaMonster 506 Posted October 23, 2015 Awesome looking car, attention to detail is spot on and gorgeous body colour. Look forward to more pics and the video Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisRx718 4470 Posted October 24, 2015 Looks awesome there fella. You've obviously got more trust in the youths near you - I have to find somewhere quiet to run my models as the kids are really destructive around here and it doesn't matter to them whose property gets damaged!
