Chris, even though it's 2 years later, and none of those parts are probably available in your Store anymore.... The homemade, interlocking Interior is pure GENIUS!! 😎👋👋👋👋👋 And THANK YOU for getting me into Magnets! I haven't seen an UGLY Body Pin since 2017!! 👍👍 Carmine ✈🚂🚙

[@nicholasbarber4193]

The way you cut the floor out of the PL interior and made it 3D is awesome! Brilliant!

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

Very clever interlocking Body, Chris!! She's a Beauty too! YOU have gotten me completely hooked on Magnets for Body Mounts. 😱 I'm so glad you did!!! Carmine 🚂

[@davejones4504]

Really nice chevy! The magnet body mounts look like an awesome idea, I will have to do that. Thanks for the video!

[@TheTankRC]

Some of the things you come up with are so cool. Thanks for sharing. Thumbs up. 👌👍

[@andyrichey1192]

Yeah ready nice Chevy!! Love the body mounting system that's awesome. Appreciate you sharing this. Always enjoy your videos. Always something new to learn. Thank you

[@RCCrawlerWorkbench]

Fantastic work Chris. I'm always impressed with your builds. Thumbs up my friend.

[@ricksscalerc2222]

Wow,great job bud! The chevy came out great,really like your custom mount for the rear.and it almost looked like magic when you dropped the bronco body and it went down perfect on the chassis.nice work.

[@GCMRacing1]

Thanks! I do like magnets for sure. They have been great for us!

[@ricksscalerc2222]

GCMRacing1 - Scale Truck RC in Canada thanks for sharing your ideas,there very helpful!

[@nicholasbarber4193]

Good lord bud, you crushed another genius idea with that felt trick! It's like you should do this for a living or something. lol

[@kinslersrccustoms6945]

Real nice setup Chris well thought-out lay out and it will be real light for you so let us know just how well that it works out for you. Grate video my friend.

[@GCMRacing1]

I hope the light weight will help with performance.. but not sure yet. Looking forward to getting it out for a test and tune!

[@joss67uk]

I bought some of those magnets after watching your "SCX10 Magnetic Body Mounts" video for my SCX10 JK project, they are awesome and stick like chicken snot to a shovel *lol* I even made some washers out of .5mm styrene to go between the magnets as I wasnt sure how well the magnets would stick to lexan and they still hold the body tight enough to the truck so I can pick up the truck by the body. Ive just bought a 20 pack of magnets for $13 US to go on my SCX10 II and my up and coming hardbody FJ project !!........

[@GCMRacing1]

Great stuff~!

[@toddswint9341]

Where did you find the magnets at

[@RCPropaganda]

dam your work is always so good. Makes me have to step up my game. My build is on hold as of now because of weather, but when spring hits I will be doing a lot of scale stuff. Keep making sick builds

[@GCMRacing1]

Yeah! I'm ready for some better weather too!

[@STEVOD313]

Dang that one good looking rig! Awesome stuff! 👍👍👊👊📹📹

[@tonybundy3560]

Stop yelling at me lol that is a fantastic truck with all your custom work and that paint is beautiful

[@claudebaron9525]

This truck is astonishing the interior with the mate seat is 👌 and I simply in love with the old body trick painted full off rust the only things sad about it is since you see à engine in it it’s to bad you can’t lift the hood but I presume from a lexan body it would be an extreme job ..... I just don’t even know if it’s possible other than this I hope you win a lot of price for this truck simply love it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ You just win me over as a regular follower 👍👍👍

[@GCMRacing1]

Thanks for the comments! Our 49 Chevy rebuild video just came out, and it's also LEXAN! with full opening hood and everything. Check out this link for the whole review: kzbin.info_videos?ar=1&o=U&sq=chevy+3100

[@joshnunes101]

Awesome vid always informative ..some white weathered rc4wd wagon wheels would also look killer would tie in the roof

[@magnusdrums8835]

Hey, amazin done) wonderful paint finish love that maybe possible also to use the magnet mount as cable contact for wires to use led lights without a plug between chassis and body just bring currant to the magnets and wire from there to lights just an idea sry bad english ) greets from MAG

[@GCMRacing1]

Magnus Drums yes, this works well

[@RCScaleTecTime]

Nice Scale Truck. I like it, good job

[@RcNerds]

Looks good! But so sad it has no our grill :/

[@GCMRacing1]

It is not your grille YET! I have it here ready to go! I will do the finish detail soon, and my lights also. I have a winch on the truck now also, and wanted to make sure it would all fit inside!

[@diecast164andmore9]

Duuuuuude!!! You have the sickest R/C trucks!! Your amazing! Do you build for others too? I'd love to have one of your masterpieces.

[@GCMRacing1]

Thanks for watching, sir!

[@rossgross3709]

love the Chevy build !

[@markusphillip1074]

good work. mate👍👍👍👍

[@TSully2013]

See you on our playground @ ioco april 7th

[@dennis586]

What is the wheel with on the chevy body i am looking to do a 60s are 50s model ford and was wondering what with would work good on the venture and was wonderiong if you no if theres a interiorto fit a 60s ford

[@TrevorWhalen13]

I'd like to know how you painted this truck and colors for the rust. Looks like you painted inside and sprayed outside flat clear

[@MUDMAD83]

I wonder if you printed the motor block I remodified will the heads cut off so it can be 3d printed it a different colors

[@GCMRacing1]

This motor is all different parts, it's glued together, block, intake, valve covers, etc, although the heads are on the motor block.

[@MUDMAD83]

GCMRacing1 - Scale Truck RC in Canada the one I modify when I printed it out I did the heads in pla silver with steel it looks like real alloy I can send you a picture on Facebook

[@bblock27]

How much run time do you usually get from the lipo

[@GCMRacing1]

I get about 700mah draw off the brushed motor trail trucks, and about 1200mah of consumption off the more comp trucks. So, by the math, the 1500 MAH 3s battery in a trail truck will get me an easy 2 hours (and it does) and the comp trucks closer to an hour of beating.

[@bblock27]

Thanks for the info and that’s great run time I just picked up a 1300 mah 3s for my trail truck hope I get close to that run time

[@bblock27]

I have searched helious rc/shapways shop but have yet to find battery’s anyone know where to look for those tiny 3s lipos

[@GCMRacing1]

[@dennis586]

You no when there going to get the venture kits in your store!

[@GCMRacing1]

The venture conversion parts are on the shapeways.com/shops/gcmracing store already.

[@dennis586]

Thank You I was looking in gcm store not your shapeways store .

[@savagemt2]

Very nice build like always! Where do you get the magnet rings from? I’ve never seen them and I’ve always thought about putting them over the body posts then cut top of body posts for the magnet

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

905RCCrawler - He said it's in the Description.

[@BANTAM53]

Whats the weight? :-D Love the proline chevy body!

[@awe_rc8380]

good work man!

[@dennis586]

how do you line the magnets up when you take them off to paint then put them back in the same place after its painted and you cant see thru it!

[@GCMRacing1]

dennis cooley the body is painted on the outside, so the magnet stays on.

[@dennis586]

thank you i no most of the time they paint the clear bodys from the inside sorry about the dumb question. I have only been doing rc for about six months only have a rtr so far but thankful for all the help!

[@GCMRacing1]

Never a dumb question. I've been doing lexan on the outside for the more 'weathered' look and inside for the 'shiny' look for some time now. I like the outside paint best, mostly because you can just glue stuff on the inside... like a firewall, or inner fenders, or whatever... and it doesn't affect the paint at all (because it's outside).

[@dennis586]

what size shocks did you use with the leaf springs on your venture conversion to the chevy body

[@GCMRacing1]

dennis cooley 58mm

[@dennis586]

Thank You

[@nicholasbarber4193]
