[@jackkramer1553]

I like the white wheel with the black grip and blue chassis. Has that sort of 90's GT Performer freestyle bicycle look, awesome!

[@10thScaleGarage]

Haha. “Radical” I remember those!

[@towhomthismayconcern5986]

I had a bright yellow one with black rims and white tires

[@savagex466-qt1io]

As someone who paints warhammer 40 000. Ya putting a clear coat on will make the paint last a lot longer. Looks great man. Dont be afraid to open it lol I skydive and id be more afraid to open that up ! haha thanks for sharing ! well done !

[@10thScaleGarage]

Thanks 👍

[@davidrivero7943]

Take 'ya time. Find refreshments, blaze out & you too, can do a spectacular , one of a kind, stand out from the rest tx.

[@sychic188]

Nice house man

[@LionelGuy-oc8or]

Looks awesome, nice job , I’m a Traxxas owner!

[@10thScaleGarage]

Right on

[@smolscale]

Love the idea 🔥 I might have to experiment and see how it would look with a hydro dipped design 🧐

[@10thScaleGarage]

Yeah I thought about doing that, but this method is super easy.

[@rcpd3157]

Now this is the kind of "GLAM" I like! I like to be Glamorous, too. It's good to see guys showing some Glam too!

Very nice, I see this happening in our future 👍🏼

Awesome. Let me know how it turns out.

[@sammym.belfastchild]

Great vid 👍 , definitely something Im gona try , at least its not , " GEE wonder what little surprises are going to pop of here " when dismantling the controller and you took that out of the equation an made it much easier for us all. Cheers 🥂 great job 👌my man .. ty for sharing another great side project we can all enjoy .. Tc everyone , stay safe an RC on ! ! 😎

[@10thScaleGarage]

Let me know if you do one up! I’d love to see it.

[@rcshowoff5427]

Thats is very cool.. Was wondering what paint you used. The radios look great.... Definitely a personal touch..

[@10thScaleGarage]

I’m surprised that lexan paint worked.

[@NathanStorer-RC]

Dude, that's awesome!

@@10thScaleGarage Ill be doing this to my Blue Arrma Granit when I have some time, lol... 😁👍🏼

[@thegreatrc9302]

Hi i like your channel do you know a fix for steering sticking/jittery (like its tight and rubbing) when fully steering left? And the throttle trigger sticks too (same its like tight and rubbing plastic) when doing super low speed for rock crawling? Thanks

[@10thScaleGarage]

Is it a TQ transmitter like this? It sounds like something is binding.

[@MJPOWERUP15]

Great video man! I had two questions, what paint held up better the rustoleum or the Lexan body paint? Also what is the name of the stand you are using to paint on at 8:12 in the video?

[@parasurveyor]

I'd like to do my 1 dedicated remote but it has a flashlight and 7 channels with buttons everywhere??

[@10thScaleGarage]

A flashlight!? Dang. That’s fancy. I’ve taken apart a bunch of transmitters, not all of them are as easy as the TQ, but they are all extremely similar. Usually the buttons are mounted on circuit boards that just unscrew, but some of the cheaper ones are held in with hot glue.

[@meirdeaph8159]

So wikid ima try now!

[@10thScaleGarage]

Do it! It’s super easy.

[@daddy9bot937]

Awesome!

[@cwatson42785]

Hey brotha can I get your advice on something? Could you recommend any wheels for my tamiya tt02r? Maybe off Amazon of ebay or somewhere else? I need a good set of wheels that can handle 3s and 50mph. The ones i got now i can't get over 36 mph and get get over 3/4 throttle lol. Have you seen those mx rims and tires on Amazon for 18-20$ and are alloy 5 stars? I appreciate any help bud. Good job on the transmitters!!

[@10thScaleGarage]

Hmm. Not sure. You’re going to want something belted, but idk anyone making belted tires that small.

[@joshpurser4810]

Yeah that looks pretty cool!!! All my controllers are diffrent because I have an arrma v3 senton a traxxas rustler and jlb cheeta. But I know I'm going to have to use this idea down the road because I've only been in the hobby for 8 months😂 my wife thinks I'm crazy buying all these rcs but its just so addicting!!! Love the idea thank you for sharing.I see your channels growing and doing pretty well keep up the good work.

[@10thScaleGarage]

It’s an addiction for sure. Thanks for watching!

I bet you could give it a metal flake look by sprinkling glitter on it before doing the clear coat.
