EVERYBODY’S SCALIN’ – CROSS RC EMO X BODY.
The Cross RC EMO X has greater than confirmed itself worthy on the paths. But after going by way of a Big Squid RC Review, the unique physique has seen higher days. We acquired our palms on a contemporary new physique for the EMO X and needed to present the abused rig some love.
The physique got here pre painted and minimize out. I didn’t just like the look of the painted fenders, so I taped them off and used some black Plasti dip. Lately I can’t get previous clear physique traces, so I took a superb line sharpie and stuffed them in. the EMO X has some deep physique traces, permitting the marker to remain on monitor and never slip out of the groove. When it does run away from you, and it’ll, Slightly Goo Gone will erase the error. Doing the physique traces make the defining form of the physique pop, including a greater scale look.
Transferring over the lights wasn’t as unhealthy as I believed. Our good buddy RC Everyday occurred to be on the Squid Farm, so I put him to work on the lights and {hardware}. One factor that I wasn’t a fan of, was the best way you’re supposed to connect the latches, gasoline cap, and some different elements. They need you to soften the tabs to the within of the physique, in flip getting the half to remain in place. Numerous issues can go mistaken when coping with warmth and Lexan. They actually don’t like one another for one. You might soften, or warp the physique, and even get a bit of burn. All round, not a great way to connect elements. I went with my trusty Gorilla Glue, and that did the job.
I feel the Cross RC EMO X seems to be even higher after its makeover. Adding the main points made the physique stand out a lot extra. Head over to Cross RC to see what you possibly can choose up to your rig! Till subsequent time, have week, and Keep Scalin’!
