Which RC body looks best?? Kit vs Pro

[@kevinkoch5243]

I stay with good old red white and blue. Front is blue ripping with 13 white stars in it. Then red and white stripes that cover to the back.

[@bryceridesbikes]

I recently did a gulf style livery on my sct ford raptor body. I used a duratrax pearl silver to give it a little bit extra than just the solid color straight from the can.

[@isaiahfurrow7414]

Would you please try to paint a body with the Tamiya tape for curves and do a simple-ish scheme...maybe a practice body or something, but show some parts of the process along the way...? I'd love to see how someone with your painting skill would approach the tape and rattle can method, even with a little bit of airbrushing for shading or drop shadows or something simple....

[@sidneymcmillin6241]

I have a team associated t6.1 and I got it used and the body is black in the front then sorta fades into white in the rear and on the bottom in front of the rear tire cut out it’s like scars in a dark red with playing cards on it its really dope

[@bryandove5901]

Those checkers and the swoop on the color bands looks like they could be tricky too. I’d love to see more paining tutorials if you’d share some of your tricks.

[@joeddejohn]

Nice with the complementary color scheme. Thanks.

[@mlugin8050]

I thought about the qater dipping technique (i dont know if it‘s called that). Where you float some colors in a water surface and then slowli take the body out, then it gets all the stripes randomly. After i would use a layer of white to make the colors pop. But i don‘t know if that would work with the lexan colors. Maybe if the white layer is lexan color it could work too

[@theRCLlama]

Great Channel to learn from 👍 i just pursched my first hobby grade rc.

[@richardwartsbaugh5553]

Love the fact that the "kit" body uses more skill and paint than the "pro" body. Checkers on the front AND back AND four colors between them. AND either end uses different colors. Light in the front and dark in the rear. Might as well just price out both to a painter and save time on the BS.

[@ricksmith7063]

This one will be one of my all time favorite Ryan Harris videos. Great topic choice!

[@TKommando]

I love painting my own bodies. The last one I did was a Tiger Stripe shceme in two tone blue, with a set of racing stripes on top that met at a point on the front. There's something about doing your own scheme that's just satisfying.

[@bradlee5277]

hi Ryan "styles" Harris, can you do a video explaining all the different type of motors and what they mean? like the difference between 17.5t, 13.5t ect. thanks!

[@erpo1977]

Ryan, it's so good to see these old school type paint scheme. I remember back in the 90's how these looked so cool. Definetly going to do one similar. Cool video!

[@sloan5297]

You are killing it with the production quality! I know what it takes and your a work horse bro! Kills me rc brands won't step up. Keep it up. your production gives you credibility. Major players need to get with it.

[@justink.2368]

Love the easel as TV stand! Cars are hot too obvi-

[@powertothesheeple5422]

Back in the day there used to be concourse before the race where the real custom bodies would show up to win a trophy but you wouldn't see them on the track. A lot of the race bodies were painted like a Nascar or other relatable racing livery. These days with everyone running custom bodies with custom stickers an old school paint scheme stands out nicely.

[@shaunjudkins7192]

Hey Ryan can you do a video on your tlr 22t stadium truck, it would be helpful for me. Thanks

[@akceller8]

Such modesty Ryan. I love how you think the second body design is "simple", lol. For most of us even your "simple" design is out of reach. Loving the vids 😁

[@mikesofunny]

Glad you mentioned Stickit1Racing. I did not know such a service was available so easily. Good looking shells Ryan.

[@michaelz2981]

I love your “Kit” look. Don’t get me wrong your “Pro” is dialed but the “Kit” just looks real. And by real I mean relatable. Humble, yet confident at the same time. An actual person, not just a factory drone. I see more personality out of your “Kit” than your “Pro”. That said, you do a really noice job either way. Love your vids Ryan! Keep it up! Semper Par!

[@paulouellette9460]

Another awesome video my friend!! Again.. you’ve inspired me to get back into RC racing after a 17 year “break”!! Great job, and keep these videos coming!!! 👍🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@JFlyer1973]

Ryan, I love both those bodies! I am getting my start in rc body painting. Just got my Iwata Revolution and a couple colors and have a roll of 20”x50’ .003 Mylar coming to practice on. I really liked your tutorial how you did the current scheme. I watch that vid often. Come to think of it... there’s a whole bunch of you videos that I watch often! 😁 much love brother! Oh your pick of music for your content is spot on bro. Keep these coming!!!

Miss my Weimaraner. Velcro dogs, always leaning in for love. 6:56 found my MP10t scheme, sick paint idea!

Kit body style looks WAY better than the Raw Speed. Kit body would look better with your scheme and stickers of course.

[@MX-CO]

I like the look of the raw speed body better

This was a fun video. 👍👍. Looking forward to your next race weekend. 🏎🏁🤙

[@mattdymes812]

I kinda feel your examples could have been better. You used to have an rc10 car, with a black / orange yellow white scheme behind you. That IMO, is something much more achievable with a rattlecan and very classic. Good video though, not trying to hate..

[@Bsfishing44]

Hey Ryan, I’ve been a fan for a while and wanting to get started in racing. Any suggestions

I have always ran white on the front so I can easily see the front of the car in the distance. Especially in darker tracks.

[@I-just-watch-stuff]

Farmhouse style decor. 🤙🏼 I’m still trying to figure out a paint scheme. What was your first paint job on an RC car?

[@RyanHarrisRC]

First scheme was a blue with white stripes type of thing!

[@1776freddie]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

[@SledgehogRC]

Would love to see you do a video on different body styles and how they affect the handling of the car. Like a rawspeed prototype vs a nitehawk body on a tlr 22 for example. 😁

[@mgers75]

I don't know jack about color theory, but my scheme colors go great together and my S1R stickers are a cool contrast to that that looks great. Most people just get the same exact color stickers as their primary paint colors which is safe and usually works but the contrasting can really set things apart if done right.

[@sc10rs]

Sounds like there might be some "stylish" merch coming!!! Fingers Crossed!! 😊🤙

[@lucagk9420]

Heya Ryan (love the vids btw), I was wondering if you had any views/knowledge on 1/10th scale Tekno cars? About a year ago I bought my first rc race car, the EB410 and absolutely love it, although it seems I'm the only one in the south of England running one (got it cos it was by far the cheapest new kit to buy as it was going out of stock and manufacture - student budget...). Do you know anything about the EB410.2? Is it worth upgrading to it or switching to another brand like XRAY/Associated (what most people here run it seems) and does upgrading through the variants of cars really make a huge difference being faster? or is that all just noticeable to pros too? I guess one other quick thing; do you have any tips for people trying to race on limited student budgets other than buying less food and getting a summer job hahaha. Thanks :)

[@xaviertaylor759]

How do you cut out the edging so precisely? Would be great to see a video on that itself. I've seen your video on paintng the whole body from years ago.

[@lorrylemming]

Having a primary colour that can be called out from the rostrum is important. Hate it when someone has a 5 colour car that isn't clearly callable, makes marshalling/ race controlling difficult.

[@Coleman73]

Great point. Often overlooked...

I've never understood this whole customer sticker thing, to me they just look all the same and a tad boring. I enjoy getting all my stickers out and choosing which ones go where. I think kit stickers just look so much better, but that's just my opinion.

[@matteogilles4238]

Haha 'super easy', yeah something like that. As always Ryan great content, amazing skills and cool makeshift photo studio. Your photos/ images are just stunning and fully agree on the long range shots. As for the paint schemes both are really strong of course and difficult to choose. For me it's all about character too, like the old skool 80's kits from Tamiya and the rest. One thing that comes to mind though is the actual form of the body. I'm a car designer (big ones not little ones) and feel that today's bodies are all just a bit generic and dare I say it dull. Knowing your attention to all details why don't you think about a Ryan Harris body set? These are just vacuum formed tubs so pretty easy. Imagine the possibilities!

"I can tell they didn't look at a color wheel". Indeed and a lot of 'pro' painters - perhaps thats more down to customer request however, but it is amazing how many car bodies colors just don't work well together.

Dude.. the kit body paint scheme is AMAZING! That is what I am looking for and will work on for my next scheme.

On the old school paint job the rear is checked black and what is the other color ?

It's just black mixed with a small amount of white to make a charcoal type of color.

[@verpine3534]

It's too bad you didn't showcase the "kit" body on the white background like you did your "pro" body. Setting it on a rustic table definitely makes it scream "not pro". It might have been an ease of production choice on your part, but it definitely created a class distinction between the two no matter how much you lauded the kit look in your dialogue.
