Automotive Wrap your RC! - What's on the Bench Ep.91

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

FMS is one of the better companies to make quality detailed RC’s in the last 5 years

[@DIYtryer]

Thanks! Never heard or seen “forged” carbon like that!

[@orincamp8659]

One thing I have learned with wrap is I get better results if I stretch it by hand and only heat it if I need it to shrink.

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

My son got a wrapped body sent to him from Brent at adventure time RC for his redcat ridgreock. It’s a camping themed wrap to use on motor home or campers. It’s got tents and fishing poles and wildlife on it. It’s neat.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Very cool!

[@longtalltexanrc3358]

Lots of good stuff there. Glad to see the CCUV getting some love and know that it might be finished before the summer is over. 🎉🎉

[@scalebuildersguild]

Fingers crossed!

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

Absolutely love the CUCV

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@P_Hamtramck]

Thanks for the CUCV update, you're right, it couldn't be better! Looking good!!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you!

[@garyclark24]

I like the brown, glad you tried it instead of the same old colors

[@Poizdrc]

Oh my, how good would the proline 1.55 tsl sx look under that blackfoot.. love that project.

[@Mike_and_Life]

We need an episode on sanding painted panels!

[@rc-ingaroundamerica8792]

Definitely never thought about car wraps, now it's an option, nice

[@Fotomotion_garage]

Yep used auto wrap and it works great!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Glad to hear it!

[@andrewsumner5388]

Been watching your channel for a while now and it’s exactly the entertainment I needed! I watched your comp trials or whatever it’s called an I gotta tell ya it looked pretty fun! I couldn’t tell if you or Josh enjoyed it more? I keep hearing him say trust it while you where driving lol

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks for watching! I think we both enjoyed it equally? I think he likes yelling at me! 😂

[@ThaPLAGU3]

oh, we got the same grill on our h10's :D

[@TrailJero]

It amazes me how much you do from one week to another. Really inspiring! Oh! And I love the wrap thing. Was thinking of that on a Capras lexan body panels. Maybe it is harder to do and not melt or dis shape the lexan. Oh well. I just have to try and see.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Go for it! But be careful with the heat gun!

[@jayb3518]

I think they call that the "bull nose" front end on the doodoo brown ford. that thing would look pretty good as well with the off white two tone paint scheme they did back then in the middle of the sides of the truck.. cool projects

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks!

[@rickpeters2671]

Yup bull nose!

[@forrestcrabbe]

😁🤘 spinal tap rules🤘 That stepside ford body makes a superb 4x4, ngl i even like the doo-doo brown. The interior is kickass 🤘y'all have a badass day🤘🍻🤘

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thanks! 🤘

[@toxiczman]

Idk how often you check the wip section in your discord server but im building out a printed scout on a bushido 12 chassis. Probably will throw updates there as i make progress

[@shuster1921]

Had that same week, and it's more tiring than bustin my butt all week! Bright spot was getting my MK-7😁😍

[@Gairbear-builds]

Oh, and its a flare-side. Any other company would call that a step-side bed. Ford called theirs a flare-side.

[@shredcraftrc]

I wrap cars for a living! All my RC cars have some sort of wrap or graphic involved!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Very cool!

[@just.jose.youtube]

Well, one hand gestures is better than no hand gestures, I guess. 😛 Progress on the CUCV, yeah!

[@scalebuildersguild]

😂

[@ninthislandrc]

Using wraps can be a good thing. Some people just can't paint, so this gives them a great option. Other people want something truly 'unique' (such as gold forged carbon...lol), and a wrap is the only way to achieve that. Other people want a custom design that is either impossible (with certain RC bodies), or incredibly difficult, to do. I'm currently working on a kraken VESLA.5 SBK, with SX5 "Sidewinder" sandrail cage & body...and, for this project, I fall into all 3 'groups', so I'll be using a wrap that has been made completely custom to my specs.

[@DrGorillafist]

I've used Cricut (and knockoff-brand) vinyl on body panels, and it seems to hold up pretty well...I like that I can switch up liveries every once in a while!

[@scalebuildersguild]

This vinyl is different though! It's an air release meant for automotive applications!

[@MysticRiverRC]

Matt, it says "Ranger" right above the radio on the dash.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Yeah it’s an F150 Ranger!

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

My mom was way into stained glass and did all kinds of stuff with metal patina. "Black Patina" - can be found at any stained glass outlet - also, I've done a bunch of work with bronze in the form of drum cymbals: Get some Liver of Sulphur - stinks like bottled ass - but if you want to Patina til you puke, that's the stuff. There is also an oxidizing solution that you can use but that requires more surface interaction. Black Patina is just magical. Get some.

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

That Ford Stranger dash looks sick!

[@scalebuildersguild]

My grandpa was into stained glass too, which is why one of my sleeves is inspired by stained glass. I'll check it out, thanks!

[@VermontScaleCustoms]

@@scalebuildersguild I hope you have a few pieces of his work! I am lucky to be in possession of about 5 or 6 gorgeous Tiffany lamp repros.

[@madmikescustoms]

Hey Matt are those lexan inner fenders? Or just a sticker? Can't wait to see the video on your RC Go kart soon. Awesome work with the wrap idea.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Inner fenders for the CUCV? They're lexan.

[@jamesn.449]

I have a couple blackfoot body base projects, one was inspired by you test fitting the body on the utb18 on a Livestream takeover.

[@scalebuildersguild]

That's awesome!

[@jamesn.449]

@@scalebuildersguild I ended up going with a punk's 3d mini stagedive chassis and some +10mm rear links.

[@robsadler7094]

TRD racing stripes on the ford? Seems appropriate

[@Jester365]

I love your sense of humor! Also, love your Spinal Tap reference!

[@scalebuildersguild]

Thank you! Such a great movie!

[@Ocd_rc]

I put a digital camo wrap on my John Deere lawn 0:30 so the neighbors couldn’t see me mowing the yard

[@scalebuildersguild]

😂

[@travistaylor8122]

I love doin qraps but I do them on the backside of lexan so it doesn't scratch or peel. I wish I could show you my scale-ish rzr rey bouncer.

[@scalebuildersguild]

Send me a pic on IG DM!

[@mrrockfink1745]

Would the flat clear work on the wrap?

[@scalebuildersguild]

I don't think you'd get great adhesion.

[@chriscord6524]

Please repair the Porsche behind you. It’s beautiful

[@scalebuildersguild]

I'll get to it.. hopefully soon!

[@oliverruelas1562]

On the h10 - what size tires are those?

[@scalebuildersguild]

It's a 1.9 expanded to fit on a 2.2 wheel. Called a Cut n' Shut. They're just slightly taller than 4.75".

If you dislike this channel so much, why do you continue to watch?

[@BigEars86]

Is the posh wall mount that the Porsche is on now rusty? I thought it was expensive?

[@scalebuildersguild]

It is, and it was. Little not thrilled about that. That said, it is quite humid down here, so if you live in the desert, it should be fine!

[@davidhenwood2116]

Love the Spinal tap reference 😅

Spinal Tap !

Great dang job on that wrap! Fms is getting better and better I think. 👊

Awesome video. Glad to see the Jimmy's is back up and going. The Ford is looking great. I'd totally do a 10th scale version.

Great work. 😎👍👍

Thanks!

81 f-150 called the bull nose. Dont know why?

[@davidwatlington3737]

Back of seat on the CUCV is a little too tall, just saying.

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

A little salt water sprayed on that copper will really tar it and give it a nice patina.. The “Blackfoot “ body is a 1980 Ford F-150 ranger xlt, and of the Bull Nose variety

[@scalebuildersguild]

It's already getting a nice patina on it!

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

Alberto V05 lol 😂

To stop the noise add even more dead weight... 😊

[@zamoragera13]

I do nothing all week. Nope

[@snigs5T5]

I know you hate PC, but any issues you might see with wrap on a pre painted PC body? Heat comes to mind but internets tells me 280 F max...

[@scalebuildersguild]

You'd have to be really careful with the amount of heat. It can and will warp very quickly.

[@Daniynad]

Seems like no one is noticing the reversed rotation transmission on FCX24m. Torque twist is a big problem for these little trucks and this one solved it.

[@scalebuildersguild]

I haven’t even driven it, so can’t comment!

[@RC-Homesteaders]

What do you use for grease in your transmission and differentials? I use marine grade wheel bearing grease from Lucas products 😊 keeps mine water resistant and super duper 🤫 quiet. I also love your builds my friend 😊

[@scalebuildersguild]

I tend to use either Lithium, CowRC Udder Butter, or Vanquish Blue. All work well! Thanks for watching!

Hey Matt. Where are the blue and orange flame on your Optic from?

[@scalebuildersguild]

Blue & Orange? It's an SBG half wrap from Freq-e-Skinz and is Red, White and Blue.

[@touchpuppy]

If the patina goes full green will you change the wheel color?

[@scalebuildersguild]

Hmmmm... Maybe! I hadn't thought of that yet!

what etching primer did you use. is it for plastics?
