Phatbodies ZERO! Wltoys 124019 chassis 1/12 scale RC

[@mehimrc1314]

The quality of the video is being held @360p due to KZbin editing the jingle out when I use the pre-masking. This is what sucks about KZbin no actual free rome, EVEN! If you give credit and add links ect. Sometimes some people can't just be happy with the credit. Any way thanks for watching 👍

[@davidmellish3295]

I'm a complete noob but I've got one of those zero bodies on order and I would have just sprayed it without knowing to sand and wash it first, so thanks,great video very informative BUT PLEASE can you explain exactly what you mean by ' keeing ' it up ? EDIT I wrote that at the start of the video before you started painting and was I seeing things ? Did you paint the inside of the body ? I'd have painted the outside like spraying a real car. Is that completely wrong then ? Do I need to paint the inside and it shows through?

[@mehimrc1314]

(Keeing/keying up) is putting loads of tiny scratching on the surface you want to paint. This helps the paint grab onto it rather than chip off with any slight knock. Great body to play around with, fits really well dude. We're all noobs at some point, thanks for watching any question just ask.

[@davidmellish3295]

@@mehimrc1314 thanks and did you paint the inside? I'd have just sprayed it like a real car,so I've got to paint the inside so it shows through ?

[@mehimrc1314]

Yip that's the way dude, have another watch and you can't go far wrong.

[@davidmellish3295]

Is that to stop it from peeling off or chipping if you crash ? 🤔

[@r4gn4røk_96]

Best Wltoys modification I've ever seen

[@OliveiraX]

marvelous! that is a sweet body for the wltoys 124019.

[@mehimrc1314]

It most certainly is, I'd recommend this ZERO or the Funkenblitz 👍 thanks for watching and I hope you enjoyed.

[@ThompsonRc]

It came out awesome excellent job

[@mehimrc1314]

It actually did 🤣 I'm surprised to have any result. Thanks Thompson 👍

[@Smile-N-Bear]

Ya...Im twisted. I really enjoy tape'n the body. Wicked design an color choice. The spotted effects give it such a unique look. Excellent job Brother. Right On 💪

[@mehimrc1314]

Thanks Mr Gibbs, masking is kinda therapeutic if you do it from scratch sod pre-masking things 😂 Appreciate your inspiring comment definitely a unique look 👍

[@9998skyline]

Great video I hear uk is getting some record Temps. I live in lousiana US and this time of the year is murder for us. I usually run my rc cars early in the mornings to beat the heat.

[@mehimrc1314]

Beat the heat by being early on your feet, something I may have to learn by for footage sake. Yes UK is having a mini heat wave doesn't help have sweaty betty syndrome but that's not RC. Any way thanks for watching and thanks for the tip.

[@lucionjay5376]

Fair play looks awesome i put chucky stencils on mine phat bodys are great

[@mehimrc1314]

Chucky stencils as in child's play Chucky? Yes phatbodies really do make good body for the wltoys and LC racing chassis.

@@mehimrc1314 yeah from childs play yes perfect size just came up in search

[@mehimrc1314]

Epic dude

[@gmcevoy]

Dude, it's awesome! So far I have skipped the keying part as I didn't want to affect the shine, but it turns out great! The last one I painted got some reaction in some areas because I skimped on the de-greasing part. Can't emphasise enough on how important that is! Also, I am not sure what rule to apply with light to dark and such? I just go with the flow as you do, and see what happens.There are only happy mistakes, as Bob Ross used to say.

[@mehimrc1314]

Brother hit the nail on the head, happy accidents are key here 🤣 Best to always key up buy some Matt finish I've got some that will take the shine right out. Yeah its meant to be dark to light but 2022 that sounds prejudice in some comedic way. Thanks for watching my man appreciate your support 🤙

[@ksrnate]

Sweet vid doooood! Enjoyed the music too 👍🏻 and erm... Dunno about where u live but the weather's definitely cooled down 🤣 nearly 40°c a few days ago now it's cold n pissin it down! Fooookin country 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

Yeah its aining now so still can't get out 🤣 glad you liked to dude the tune when painting is good like. Thanks for watching dude

Hi where can you get the window masks from to make your own and also where to buy that circle material for the roof, keep up the good work.

[@mehimrc1314]

The roof masking is this stuff www.ebay.co.uk/itm/154404191508?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=lTE7bXVIRbe&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=4AoL8TUpRDm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Apart from the roof stuff i use simple masking tape from thin 3mm to medium 10mm tape. The thin stuff corners brilliant thick fills in the blank for the windows 👍

[@monkeytrident]

@@mehimrc1314 is the other masking material normal paper ?

[@mehimrc1314]

The roof stuff? it's a sticky masking style material, thicker than masking tape and really nice to use.

[@monkeytrident]

@@mehimrc1314 One of my friends who sprays real cars, said I could use two layers of normal newpaper, to stop bleeding, is this true ?

[@mehimrc1314]

Yip thats true, most car places use paper to cover windows, wheels ect, I'll use paper or a plastic bag to cover large areas 👍

[@Texas_bikes66]

How did you attach the spoiler

[@mehimrc1314]

Two flanged screws with nuts for each side of the wing, attached to the little uprisers on the rear window.

[@richsmith6810]

I got my body post measurements off with my zero body so couldn't get it to sit right with the foam tyres will have to order another one and try again after seeing this. What width foams have you got on it?

[@mehimrc1314]

Foams front and rear are 26mm wide, shame you've had a little mishap.

[@richsmith6810]

@@mehimrc1314 you know how it goes with these things, One minute you think everything is lined up perfectly the next it's not and you've done the holes 🤣. I've just ordered a phat bodies zoom body but will definitely order another zero at some point as I think it looks smart

[@mehimrc1314]

It's a zero is a very good looking body for the 1/12 scale, I'll need to get my hands on a zoom at some point like you. Yip that is infact how it goes, check yes, double check YES, go for it and CRAP! Out of place.

Hello, just wanted to ask, when it comes to the wheel arch?? To fit the wheel, did you have to cut it yourself?

[@mehimrc1314]

Yes in another video it shows how I get the round arch before cutting. Then once it's mounted you can find tune the arch for steering clearance.

Okies cool. Thanks for replying 🙃

Looks so good mate!!! I’m how to you get spoilers on this one have u got video to help

[@mehimrc1314]

Thanks dude,, I don't have a video sorry, it was held into position while I drilled the holes, then added two screws/nuts to each side. Most things are measured by eye, double sided sticky tape can help hold stuff on while you mess around.
