Paint & Patina on a 3D Printed Suburban Body, Scale RC Weathering

[@brokenhobbies6299]

I've had the same problem with a lot of my prints. I use PLA filament and it will definitely melt in the sun. I've ruin SO many parts because I just forget to check on it. I've about got it down to a science now though, paint it outside in the hot sun, let it bake for about 10-15 minutes, then bring inside to finish curing. When it gets to about an hour outside is when I start to notice sagging in the pla. 🤘

Keep it dragging the ground! Thing is sick!! Love it!

[@ClassicSteelRC]

Looks sweeeeet!!! I'm sure there's a wheel and tire combo out there that'll fit! I love where you're going with this build! As much as I love crawlers, I definently envision this build as a slammed down sleeper/resto-mod/rat-rod hybrid! Keep up the amazing work Bro! 🤜

[@caesardeharo5381]

I had a crack in my body and found that after doing the shoe goo thing on the inside, I used Bondo glazing spot putty, stuff that comes in the tube and it covered the cracks. I ended up just leaving the bondo and used a stencil brush to tap in some grey chalk board paint to look like somebody sprayed primer over it. Just a thought if the body ends up cracking, looks really good.

Traxxas Bandit front wheels are a 2.2 but the pin locates directly into the wheel no hex. I've used them on 190mm onroad chassis turning them into big rim drifters in the past because of the narrow offset! Absolutely no idea if there still available but they would look awesome on that burb!

Awesome painting work looks really good 👏👏😊

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

Awesome work as always. Amazing that it was printed , cool o

[@newbiercguy4147]

Truck looks good.. thats the whole fun if doing these things is trial and error.. and sometimes the error turns out better than the plan.. hahahha.. great job.. can't wait to see it finished

It looks freaking amazing!

[@maximumrpm1868]

That is so cool I want to start doing something like this on my rc channel

[@gerrettmcqueen7001]

Looking awesome. I look forward to seeing it finished

[@dutchloveRC]

Looks great!!

[@MakeItRC]

Awesome video! That body really looks nice with that patina. I believe that body is from Scale 3D RC. While their bodies are not the most detailed or dimensionally accurate, the files are priced very reasonably and they have tons of options to choose from. If you've got a 3D printer, you can make a nice hard body for as little as like $30 for the files and some cheap PLA filament (just don't leave it in the sun too long 😆). In addition to the low cost, they have tons of unique bodies that are unlikely to ever be produced by larger manufacturers. I'm not holding my breath waiting for Proline or RC4WD to come out with a Chevy LUV or AMC Eagle wagon body 😛. I've got a Pathfinder body from them I'm currently building on a MST chassis. Looking forward to seeing what you do with that Suburban. I won't shed any tears if the Cybertruck gets dumped. 👍

It looks like a mix between a 70's International Harvester Travelall and a 70's surburban, but it's got pretty cool after you weathered it.

[@jackerlandsson1626]

regarding the material it is printed in, it is with 97% certainty PLA, as it can not withstand so much heat before it starts to deform

[@juansaladzar]

6:39 nice shallow sink & countertop brah 🤣

[@Loose_Lucy]

I think it looks awesome!

[@mikeupton5406]

The Short Bus! Had a Champion Trans Van said Short Bus on the back of it.

[@danweiss1371]

Gotta like the way this turned out. It kinda has that fake patina. Look that so popular right now I like it.

[@RichB07]

Looks good . I like it .

[@seththomas2490]

Try building a one off frame for it. You have the skills.

[@rcplaytime]

Got some talent right there,looks fantastic😎😎👌👍

[@kongneoucar]

Great video car

[@freddieflanders]

I think it would look best on that rc4wd chassis as a crawler

[@ELPowderTv]

Looks awesome 👌👏💯

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👍👍👍

[@TestECull]

Protoform VTA tires would be pretty nice I think. Give them a look.

[@joesrcgarage]

Soooo nice! 👍😍

[@rc-shedshakedown3191]

sidenote: decent music in an rc video: no house, no chipmunk beats, just solid metal guitars.

[@OfficialStumpMan]

Kind of has lines reminiscent of an international travel all.

[@RCeveryday]

It really does doesnt it.

[@artgeometrix6346]

This is wonderful. Absolutely awesome.

[@yoda46290]

Awesome as always!! Keep it scale.

[@rc_amigos]

Bummer with the warping. I have noticed on our printed parts that if they are thin wall they like to move a lot with heat. our first one we did I left it in the back of the truck with a covered canopy for a couple of hours and the while roof slumped. I think it looks great though! These 3d printed bodied sure are a fun PITA! lol..

[@dm0320-]

congratulations great job.

[@scalecrawlnl]

Cool and fun time in the RC Everyday Scale Garage, thank you. Is the SCX10III with extended chassis an option? Spot on rust!

[@swamppy4880]

Are you going to make these available for sale? Excellent product

[@brianargo9306]

Glen from taymia legands on KZbin, had several sets of 2 and 3 peace rims that he put of a Supra. Celica, Benz.

[@juansaladzar]

9:33 is that you on the guitar brah? 🎸

[@ryanwilliams3157]

Amazing paint job... looks better as lowrider not monster truck

[@johndavid5627]

heavy tunes

[@andreasbenning]

Just a question, do you ever build anything with a combustion engine? I love the style of your builds, would be awesome to see them make some noise ans smoke. :)

[@RCeveryday]

I’m all electric. There are not many options at this scale that look realistic.

[@andreasbenning]

@@RCeveryday I understand. Thanks for responding! 🙂

[@inikobmore30]

Use petg. I got bodies that stay in the sun

[@jcspeedshop]

Hey question as I haven’t watched it fully yet but what is the on road chassis?

[@RCeveryday]

Its the hot wheels tesla truck chassis. It is a carisma m40 that is longer and narrower than the stock chassis

[@jcspeedshop]

@@RCeveryday ahhh thanks for that!

[@bennusser437]

Try pinterest for burban pics...that's the best site for me.

[@ericpohlman5131]

make it wood paneled

[@noejuliansaavedra]

good job buddy, but i don't think i need to waste so much water on a piece of plastic👍

[@alexvillegas9347]

Sick build …dude seriously tho get a bowl of water and don’t waste so much water for sanding that’s all haha dope build tho

[@claytonjessup6163]

Do you 3D print custom RC bodies ?

[@RCeveryday]

I don’t. Everything I have I’ve just ran across at events or online.

[@codyburkhart5819]

What body is this? Been looking for a 69/70 Chevy hard body pickup forever

[@RCeveryday]

It’s 3d printed from 3drc I think. My friend traded me for it

[@codyburkhart5819]

@@RCeveryday next video you do maybe explain more about having shapeways do your printing

[@zxcvbnmnz]

Ditch the Tesla and waste the money on something fun like parts. Donated my printed Hilux body to the local drift club when I moved and the bonnet sagged while it was in my van on a hot day. PLA is ok for bodys and parts, just can't leave it out in the heat

[@rustamiyah]

Anybody know a good place to get quality model STL files like this? Price doesn't matter to much, just looking for good quality.
