Thanks. Selling them isn't something I really want to do because it takes away my time from other projects, plus for the hours I have to put in to make one, I'd end up needing to charge $1200 or more, which seems kind of ridiculous.

You actually looked and considered almost everything I looked at before I build mine. I actually put the grill from I sit the body then order a bumper through shapeways by providing the size but yeah someone should of came up at least with a conversion already. I’ll check out your files cause I definitely need to finish my front end and other things. Thanks for sharing. 👍

Love how it turned out and sits

New subscriber here. This is awesome, and something that really needs to be done. Long Live The General Lee

That looks awesome.....all you need now is an ESS sound box.....with the Dixie horn.....and then your talking real General Lee.....can't wait for the next one....👍

My comment got taken down because I said screw the haters that tore down the memorial statue of GENERAL LEE. AWESOME BUILD MY FRIEND YOU ARE A TRUE AMERICAN.

So, I have to say thank you very much for the idea and tips, I now have a pretty close version of the GL and also bought another shell and painted it pearl white with blacked out stickers and named her the Ghost of the General Lee, I also installed a Sense Innovations ESS -Dual speaker so now I have engine sound and of course the Dixie Horn, super happy and all thanks to you!

I've really enjoyed watching your first two General Lee videos. You did an awesome job on them and I just can't wait to see your other two General Lee builds.

Awesome job. I wanna tackle this project some day.

Beautiful work my man 👍👍

Great work, Now I need one. Pretty excited

Brilliant.!! This has to be a must do for all car guys.

Just subscribed after watching this. The General Lee is one of my all-time dream cars, and I love what you did! If I would've known about the Kyosho Fazer in the first place, I would've saved up my money a bit more instead of getting a Tamiya TT-02 with the '99 Impreza Monte Carlo body. If I ever do get the Kyosho Fazer, I'll be sure to do these! I am not the best with applying decals to rc's, but I'm sure my dad can help me out with that since he has experience with applying decals to model cars when he was younger. Once again, this is absolutely amazing, and I love it!

If you follow the methods that I used for the decals, it's almost fool-proof. You take as much time as you need to get them where you need them, then use tape references. Wet the decals so you can move them around until they're in the right spot, then pat the water out to keep them there.

The opening...have ramp will jump! Great video, well done sir. Your videos, links & parts will help new & old RC General Lee builders make it happen.

Rc drift car body painter and detailer here in 7:09 the point you adressed is understandable and if youd prefer the razor blade method i have a tip if you score a line a few times of depending on lexan thickness you are able to peel it away from the body and it will also leave a crisp line just may take some practice

Since that's their mini chassis, the Malibu hard body is the only choice that's narrow enough to work, but you'll need to stretch the chassis to the correct wheelbase.

Question please. Will this body fit on Tamiya TT-01 and TT-02 chassis?

@BudgetRC_Channel

Жыл бұрын

unfortunately, no. This body has a longer wheelbase that only works with the longer Kyosho Fazer chassis. There is a body available from MCI Racing that I highlighted in my General Lee intro video that I'll be doing a build with soon. That body is designed for standard sized touring car chassis, including the Tamiyas.

The 1/12 General Lee by Ramen Toy would be the one to make R/C

Which wheel file did you use exactly if you don't mind me asking, size & offset thanks

@BudgetRC_Channel

Жыл бұрын

I don't remember the filename, but they were the 6mm offset wheels designed for the vintage tires. The link in the description has 4 varieties: vintage style (smaller for more tire sidewall) and modern style, each with 0mm offset or 6mm offset.

With RC cars, the bodies are formed from Lexan, which can limit what they do. That's why the rear fascia is a separate piece. They also need the bodies to fit on their existing chassis, which means the wheelbase and track width is already pre-determined.
