Arrma FireTeam BLX, Don't Go Cheap On Paint

[@Donsalaskanrcadventure]

Nice. Iove the color... even it was coming off it looks awesome..

[@sparetimerc]

Hello Donsalaskanrcadventure, I really was hoping that it would a alternative for my on road RCs, but just seeing what it did, nope. Live and learn right! Thanks for watching and for the comment, it's really appreciated.

Hi Al, not sure how I missed this one but thankfully it popped up for me today! I love the color you went with and it really sucks that it did not stay stuck on there. I know others have had luck with certain spray paints but I will stick with the ones designed for the polycarbonate bodies specifically. finding rattle cans of unique colors can be hard if not impossible but with the airbrush paints you can custom mix colors to get hues you can get with spray paints. Not trying to sell you on airbrushing, but it is an option!

Hello, Fourpaws-fitness. Thank you for taking time out of day to watch my video, and for leaving such a wonderful comment. Trying new things and techniques. Take care and best wishes to you.

Hey Al a mega run! Loved the chasing of the car and the behind the front wheel / axle FPV 😊😊 shame about the paint, you weren’t even too rough with it ! 😂😊😂well, not for Al’s standard 😂😊😂 hope you can remove the paint and start again without ruining the body. 😊😊best wishes to you and the family 🤔😉😎

[@sparetimerc]

Hey John, I was trying to go slow so the driver didn't think I was chasing him, I wanted to get a different angle for the video, but there aren't to many places to put a camera for different shots, so this was the best place on the lower back panel. I really thought the paint would stay on the panels but lesson learned, either go Tamiya, Spaz or Proline. It looks like I can peel most of the paint off and then hopefully use paint thinner for the rest. One way or the other this paint is coming off🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣. Thanks for watching and for the wonderful comment, take care and best wishes to you and the family.

First great job and running Al. I like the side FPV, seeing the suspension work. Sorry for the mess with the colour, just a little rollover at a moderate speed and no sticker can hide the spots. Maybe you can use the body for running and do a second one for the shelf.

[@sparetimerc]

Hi Dirk, thank you, not to many places to put a camera to get different shots. Yeah, I have learned my lesson on this one (don't go cheap) 🤣🤣I don't think it will be hard to get the paint off the panels, I just need to take my time with them. If it is to hard to remove the paint then I will use this one. Thanks for watching and for the awesome comment, take care and best wishes to you and the family.

Looks tight bro. Nice work!

[@sparetimerc]

Hi 930hyde, thanks for watching the video and for leaving a comment. Hope to see more from you in the future. Take care and stay safe out there.

[@WeissRC]

Sorry to hear about the paint, Al! That's a bummer! 😢 Definitely happens to the best of us... you're still out having fun though! 😎 Keep up the good work! 🤘

[@sparetimerc]

Hey Weiss, it all on me, I should have stuck with regular polycarbonate paint (lesson learned) just watching it rip out there and the color scheme I was happy. Now the daunting task of stripping the paint and finding a close color match. Take care and best wishes to you and the family. So how does it feel to have the fastest care at work? 👍👍👍

[@madsrcbuggy]

Now take it to the Back 40 and give it the thrashing it deserves! 😁 Okay, on a serious note, Al, what a bummer... I guess either you can wet sand it all down and paint with Tamiya PS paint, or just admit defeat and buy a set of new panels... It did look really nice, with the blue.😉

[@sparetimerc]

Hey Mads, that was my first initial thought, just put the original tires on and just let it rip in the Back 40. But since the panels are not dented or torn I think I can strip the paint off and re-paint the panels, may have to get an airbrush and mix some proline paint to come close to this color. wet sanding is my last option if the stripping process doesn't work. Thanks for watching and for the awesome comment. Take care and stay safe out there my friend.

[@HaydadRC]

It looks real nice Al! 👍😊 I learned to stick with Tamiya paint; I tried Duratrax once with not great results…I do have Traxxas paint but haven’t tried it yet.

[@sparetimerc]

Hi Jeremy, yeah lesson learned, looking for a a different color. But if you don't try, you don't know! I may look at Traxxas but not to sure at the moment, now to focus on taking the paint off the panels without damaging them. Thanks for watching and for the comment. Take care and best wishes to you and the family.

[@All_RC_Fun]

Great color. Bummer on the adhesion.

[@sparetimerc]

Lesson learned, stick with paint made for RC.

[@Fonzierc]

Ooh well 😂 . It did looked nice now we know it 😂 . I have noticed that one of your neighbours as a sweet ramp in her yard to jump the RCs 😂

[@sparetimerc]

Hey Fonzie, now I know what not to do, as far as paint. Ok, ramp?

[@Fonzierc]

@@sparetimerc 😂 . Check out at 3:56 just by the house looks like a good jump 😄

[@sparetimerc]

@@FonziercGreat eye👍👍 Fonzie, it would be a awesome jump but I try and stay away from my neighbor's property. Not sure how they would react to seeing a RC care jumping across their yard😲😲😲😲

[@Fonzierc]

@@sparetimerc lol totally understand that and agree with you I just thought it was definitely a good jumping spot 😁
