[@rcsnapon2132]

Sweet 😊

[@craigpimlott204]

Drop the other body in some brake fluid and it’ll take the paint right off to the plastic with no damage .. ♥️🇬🇧🇺🇸❤️👍👍

[@rickstephens4490]

Oven cleaner works great, too. Let it set overnight in a sealed plastic bag, then hit it with 000 steel wool. Turns out well without losing detail.

[@garyslentzii2796]

Castrol Super Clean will strip it clean, especially if its enamels. I like using Dupli-Color for everything

[@paulmcnamara2908]

Oh how many times poorly made and miss fitting parts took build in a totally different direction to what was originally planned! Interested to see how it turns out in the end buddy! 😁👌

Lightly rub the painted budy with the scotchbrite and then a layer of matte finish to make ot look like someone did a bad job painting it, that's my contribution. If you added a door that was a dofferent color that would be cool too.

Have you checked the kamtec bodies from the UK? If don't know them I say you're missing out and some really cool bodies for your rat rods and tamiyas and soooo cheap

[@RCeveryday]

Ive seen some, actually have an entire kamtec banger chassis and old jag body a viewer sent me.

[@sebas888888]

It would be fun to see a mashup and made in USA Jag custom lo-lo rod then! 🤣

[@sebas888888]

As an extra question and because I nerd about those things... Would you send a kit to Europe?

[@RCeveryday]

So far I’ve shipped to Germany, England, Scotland and Norway and Italy. Ranges between $60-$90usd. Germany was the most expensive. I only ship international priority with tracking and insurance 6-10 business days (which is accurate about half the time)

Hi How are them oiley..damper..shock things....? great we can still get parts..for these Had a new one back in 1982... still got some of the orginal parts.. great vid.. N x

[@RCeveryday]

They still kind of work, I removed the torsion bar on the rear and put internal springs in them on its past life. Fronts still work very well in stock form.

[@fezzolare]

when i get back in the lab.... this will be my next build..... in 15 years of building never did a Tamiya

[@BlueDually4x4]

The fit of that cage looks terrible, though I wonder if the body would sit a little better with the nerf bars mounted under the chassis. I know I have seen a cage on this chassis, but maybe it was a 3D print and not a metal one.

[@RCeveryday]

it wont, the body is already sitting on the cage and still not touching the rails
