The Base Camp is a great starting point, and with a few minor tweaks you can turn it into a more capable, attractive looking RC truck. Today I will show how to remove paint from the painted window sections and redo the details on them without the use of window stickers. It takes a bit of time but the result can be very rewarding. I'm also adding a splash of color by putting some left over Axial Bomber stickers on the sides and we explore the possibilities of 3D printed details by having a look at some of the Knight Customs parts available at MyMiniFactory.

Featuring a lot of familiar ingredients, combined with a non-licensed body this could very well be the basic RC truck that you have been waiting for, or perhaps you want to get your feet wet in the hobby and are looking for an entry level ride: the BaseCamp has you covered! It still has the fantastic portal axles with the high-entrance pinion gear, the steel C-channel frame rails that can be adjusted in length and a full range of Spektrum electronics. Add to that a few licensed items like the Demello Offroad front and rear bumper, the Falken Wildpeak 1.9 sized tires and some fresh looking Black Rhino rims, and you have a very good starting point to evolve a truck that is entirely to your own taste and liking.
From the website: Available in 3-colors (Blue, Green, and Gray), the New Axial SCX10 III BASE CAMP delivers on so many levels. Whether you are seasoned R/C Rock Crawling veteran, or are brand new to the hobby, the SCX10 III Base Camp platform will be your go to rig. Conquering trails right out of the box, or ready for your next scale performance driven creation! With the all-new LCXU Transmission, Easy to mount body posts, and amazing new price-tag, the SCX10 III Base Camp will be there for you on your next adventure!

Chris is using stickers, Josh is painting a body.. the whole world is upside down! 😂

[@adamhirerc78]

Sounds about right

[@hemistormrc]

[@brianbrissette9444]

really pops now, even a pre-painted rtr lexan is satisfying to watch the master lay down some style 😎

[@lax2dia101]

The world is changing.

[@jaredc4020]

Lmfaooooo. Sooo sooo true 😂

[@scalebuildersguild]

Pretty amazing what a little time and elbow grease can accomplish! Thanks for sharing this one, Chris!

[@hemistormrc]

Thanks Matt! A bit of effort goes a real long way. 😄

[@rwardenutube]

Very nice job. Have you tried using Tamiya - Polycarbonate Cleaner - to REMOVE dried paint? It leaves the clear lexan gloss, but you have to be careful where it ends....it will also remove the green, so you can mask and area and then start removing paint. I wonder it it works on Axial paint.

[@dustineputtaert5792]

You can also add graffiti remover to the list of chemical's that can be used 👍

[@rcilluminati26]

Amazing transformation! Axial needs you to consult on future projects!

Appreciate the videos....you always give us great tips. I used wd40 spray to remove the paint on my Defender windows...it worked great for me

[@hemistormrc]

That’s a good tip, will have to try that!

[@andyrosales202]

How long did u let it sit on there for?

[@bradcowart5044]

Very nice Chris! Keep it simple and make it pop 😁

[@hemistormrc]

Thanks Brad! Just a few alterations to make it look slightly different from stock.

[@johngookinsable]

Looking pretty good. Just shows the possibilities are out there👍

Thanks! Keeping it simple can be rewarding.

Well done Chris !!! Hard to believe that ur viewers would give you crap about the wheels hitting the body to me they will eventually self clear …lol

[@rcOhio]

The master at work! True artist. Chris once again proving that one can in fact polish a turd! This man could have 1,000,000 subscribers and still not be getting the recognition he deserves. And the modesty… true gentleman. Congratulations on nearing 100,000 brother! Keep up the great work! Thanks for all you do.

[@thindigital]

Excellent work as usual and not expensive so something everyone can try. I hope someday a major manufacturer hires you as a body consultant

[@AddyRCBuddy]

Such a huge difference just by adding a few mods to it, but HemiMods tho. Great work Chris as always, we can learn a lot from your vids as well. Thanks for sharing! ✌️

[@rctraildriversuk-lone-wolfvide]

big improvement on stock dude

[@danweiss4928]

I love any tips I can get that help make me a better painter. If anybody claims they know it all I wouldn’t give them two seconds of my time. Love your channel

Been doing alot of research to get inspiration to my build. Nice work. Really nice. Now the tricky part. Trying to find PS paint in Norway that is in stock, and not too far away.

[@mattveness1193]

Nice and simple. 👍 You love stickers!! 🤣

In this case I’ll happily make an exception, hahaha! Thanks for watching!

[@Story_Rice]

Always taking it up a notch! Love it!

[@sebas888888]

Next cheap mods will be 3d printed parts I guess? Just the front headlights would make it good enough to give it a finished look, the other small parts like wipers and handles are maybe not so much needed now that you have decorated the side, but I guess you'll put them on while you're at it. Yes with a few mods the body is looking way better than the stock form, and a touch of paint always helps. Black lining the outer parts is a great idea, and I've been leaving it aside for quite a while now, but will do it on my ecto to break that all yellow color. I also painted the inside of my ecto black, which helped change the tone of the yellow and it's not so bright anymore and looks better for my taste. A trick I learned for the lining from Gundam is to score the lines for example the door lines with the back of the exacto knife to give it just a little more depth and help the very runny paint flow and settle nice and easy in the groove. Good job making the body not so ugly anymore!

[@RCAdventuresAmsterdam]

Nice one Hemi! 🙌💪

I like what you did with it.

Think that’s the first time I ever seen you use stickers 😳😳

[@carllincoln5893]

I still left a like on the video, even though you put stickers on the body. I hate stickers!!

I’m no fan either, haha! Saving my cans for another project.

[@kevingoodrich3050]

Nice job.... what about just cutting the windows out and replacing them ?

[@avipatable]

I have done this on my TRX4 Defender with the awful stickered windows. The hardest thing in this whole area imo is finding a decent driver figure who is not an X man or some other comic book character - and the right scale... We really need a ~1/9 scale figure for our crawlers and they just don't exist :(

[@hemistormrc]

I think there would be a huge market for some realistic shaped figures. I hate the wrestlers and such, it’s played out and looks horrible.

[@paulschryer9571]

- I bought my "1/9th scale figure, at DollarTree, for $1.00, back - about 9-months ago, - before they now just raised the price on all items to a $1.25 ! 😫 Rates, bro !!!😆👍 - I call him Mr. Mullet, (cuz he has a mullet), and he is well made, for just a "buck" !!! He is black & silver (clothes). Plus, he has a mean expression on his face !!!! 😆🤣🤭... He fits perfectly in the older AXIAL "CORBEAU" SEATS, which are made of solid plastic. Mr. Mullet, stands at exactly (5.5" TALL)...(2.0" at his shoulders/arms), and I "still think" - "HE MIGHT BE A "LITTLE BIT"- SMALL" !! 🔎...🤔 - IF YOU CANNOT FIND ONE, or do not have access to a DollarTree... - I suggest buying/ordering a (very realistic-looking) "WALKING DEAD"... ...FIGURE, THEY COME WITH ACCESSORIES, & THERE ARE A FEW "GOOD-QUALITY" MAKERS, OF THESE FIGURES, - [BUT, THEY WILL BE THAT -("A BIT BIGGER-SIZE")...WHICH MOST PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR, - FOR THEIR "SCALE CRAWLER" !!!! 😉👌🤘😎 - I hope this helps !!! 💪🇺🇸

[@avipatable]

@@hemistormrc Yes the wrestlers, me too! I was contemplating designing a good figure - one with removable "slices" of lower back and top of the back of the legs - specifically for sitting in RC car seats - so they look like they sit in the seat rather than awkwardly on top of it. The fact your reckon it might be popular means perhaps I should give it more thought!

[@teamawesome2171]

Brilliant...

[@fishnrc294]

Is there a somewhat decent priced way to put dig in it? Or would you be better off buying a version with dig in it.

I would like to know if you would know where to get T-BONE Racing Products, I'm looking for a front bumper for my Arrma Senton 3s 4x4, I broke the bumper in my first drive.

Lol, $400 US is not budget friendly! 😜. Great job tho. What is that back cage part number?

[@stevemoon2136]

Wish Axial had just offered a clear body option.

[@hemistormrc]

I’m sure a kit is in the works. 👍🏼

[@danielkonrad1444]

Why did axial this. 2022 and Window stickers🤦

[@SnarkyRC]

Mostly transparent windows yes. Clear, not so much.

[@hemistormrc]

As explained in the video, no desire to fully clear them as I’m not planning to run an interior. Thanks for watching!

[@ryand4786]

This body is boring and plain, that’s the best part about it. You don’t want to drag a pretty truck across the rocks

[@Trophy_RC]

Body don't like it at all! Parody of trx4 sports. To replace it immediately! !!! Just super creepy!!! Тo be replaced urgently!!!
