You can find hundreds of builds in the channel back catalog 👍🏻

Gran Turismo tells me I should put the harder compound tires on the drive wheels and the softer compound on the non drive wheels. If you don’t plan on driving it hard though it shouldn’t matter, considering you don’t really beat on any of your cars the tire setup should be totally fine 👍

Awesome looking car, and agreed the blue looks better! Hope you get to fix it up soon!

Carson Paint killer FTW

It's comforting to know that someone with your experience can still sometimes have a full-blown painting disaster like us regular guys. lol

The modern Alpine shell would look great!

That is a Beautiful chassis! Great design.

I think we all have been there Gavin. Now I don't do an rc until I have plenty of free time. I am not a content creator however so I can understand where you are coming from. The blue really does look amazing.

It happens to us all trying to repaint when it’s just not dry enough 😢

Team Associated RC10 B6.4 2WD racing buggy is on its way from Rochester RC so stay tuned for the next series of, “Noob goes racing” I’ll still be racing my Cougar to compare times.

Nothing worse than when it all goes horribly wrong, but sounds like it could turn out to be a winner, like the sound of a beaten up shell 👍

It happens to many of us. You have good advice.

We have all done it! The two biggest things in painting is preparation and patience and both are ones that are often rushed a bit! I recently royally messed up my Dirt Master body by rushing it and trying to get too much done in too little time. Glad you were able to find another body set and great idea for the one with issues. A beaten and weather one is a great idea!

Been there....done that.....I feel your pain 😎👍

Softer springs and softer tires on the back. You want more rear grip, and less front grip. UNLESS, you just like spinning out everytime you turn.

We (I) are still watching the vid, even when it comes out a day or 2 later. It's not like you have a schedule to adhere to, right?

No schedule, I release videos when I can and when I have budget.

Eucalyptus oil works great for removing paint from polycarbonate for future reference.👍

Happens to us all at some point , the barn find sounds good though , look forward to seeing that . I built the lotus europa on that chassis and you need the cream springs on the back shock units, the manual does state which tyre compounds go on which end of the car but I can remember from memory . Looking forward to P2 ;)

Ps-15 is lovley colour! Not nice to see but interesting that pros can mess up paint jobbsr aswell. Good video!

Gav, there can't be rust on a fibreglass body like these cars have in real life. It's a real shame, but it happens to all of us at some point. I'm sure you can park it and fix it some other time. It's not going anywhere!☺️👌🏻

Mine was converted to hand formed steel back in the 1980s after a crash at a track destroyed the fibreglass. Five years later the engine went on it and since then it’s been stuck in a barn slowly rusting away. 😂

Been there done that several times sadly and most recently with my Monster Beetle……on my 3rd body now!

Careful, fiberglass doesn't rust. However is a very good idea to have this damaged body as a rally unit.

soft tires go on rear!

I am doing the car in blue same as rally car I got the proper wheels from Japan and am going to put led in it also bits it’s not a hurry a bit at a time it should look like the first release version when am done. 😊

I also like that metallic blue. I used it to paint the wheels of my Lunchbox. No way was I ever going to have a yellow Lunchbox. 😁 I then decided to paint my Tamiya Racing Fighter metallic blue as well but this time I went with Absima paint instead of Tamiya (a quid cheaper and 50% more in the can) and it came out great. It is lighter shade of blue than the Tamiya but it looks great. Good luck with part 2. Mistakes are only bad if we fail to learn from them. 😉

I'd do the second body in any colour, but that one, as that's the rallye team colour we all have seen on it for five decades now. Without the familiar rallye decals it might look unfinished also. I think, the Alpine looks nice and elegant in light, pale metallic yellow and green hues or sporty in bright primary/secondary colours. The rust idea is quite queer, as the original body is from fantastic plastic…

Number,#1😊

Don't worry....that's my usual.👍decals hide a lot on that one.

I didn’t know these came in anything but orange

You're right about the tyres. Soft on the back. For Springs and Tyres check the manual 😅 it' in there

Good idea to do a weathered look to try and rescue the body but I wouldn’t do any rust because the the actual cars bodywork is made out of fibreglass which doesn’t rust!

I think you should consider adding an alternative long/detailed build&paint videos (along with detailed talking on why/what/how, even a live build?). I'm betting that there is a good chance that also for some of the experience builders, it is nice to see a through build without the 'blink of the eye' magic.

Hi Gavin. Quick question, how happy are you with that SPT servo you installed ? Go-to cheap servo ? Thanks mate, looking fwd to seeing your imagination in action re the beat up body. Greetings from New Zealand.

SPT servo is fine for normal garden driving and a little bashing. I wouldn’t race it but for the money I’m happy with them.

This is an issue I have with buying Tamiya, it’s quite a lot of money and you end up having to upgrade it because of getting things like friction shocks on a £150+ kit! It sometimes feels like Tamiya get away with scrimping simply by trading on their name! I just find it a little disappointing and tend not to buy Tamiya. Great video and glad to see you’re as human as the rest of us 😂

agree. But look at it differently: you can get a TT-0X kit for about €80. The bodies alone sell for half that money. So in a way, a TT-0X costs €40 :)

Yeah I love that blue as well. Shame about the cock up, but it happens. I’d probably use that body as a runner. I bought the M0-6 kit with the Lotus Europa body. I have to say, the M0-6? I don’t love it.

I waited 3 months to get ps16 at my local shop only to accidentally paint one of my taillights with my backing color after the mask stuck to some other tape. Nail polish remover then let me rub a nice hole through the body and after 4 cans of ps paint, plus one tamiya mustang gt4 body ended up equalling one expensive mistake. So sad. Of course it happened on the backing coat after all other painting was painstakingly done. I salvaged it with some creative sticker work. But a dissappointment for sure. Cheers

Yep it can be a right pain, especially with f it’s a body you put many hours into or a vintage body you can’t replace.

Looking forward to see rust on an A110 LMAO. It has a composite body so the white "rash" is actually very realistic.

Another mistake you made was painting the separate pieces that go on the rear wings silver, they are supposed to be body coloured. It’s definitely a shell that requires patience to achieve results! It’s a great looking car & I’m interested to see this turned into a beat up version.
