Losing grip – Killing it with Killerbody
Lots of issues are nice in regards to the Redcat RDS, however not the physique. I’m very completely satisfied about that, because it retains the value down at lets me spend that cash on getting no matter physique I need as a substitute. Sure, the included physique does a great job overlaying the chassis and it’s bought magnetic physique mounts as well, however for appears? Well, not precisely Pininfarina.
When first studying to float, it’s fairly good with a physique that may take a little bit of a beating, however ultimately all of us need to look good, don’t we? The scale recreation within the drift scene is thoughts blowing. I do know that crawling has come a really good distance, however for scale realism and unbelievable paint jobs, drifting is king. Not agreeing? Check out among the work of Teppei Makimoto and Vivian Grobler, and please e-mail me at martin at bigsquidrc.com if of a worthy contender.
It’s all fairly intimidating. My portray abilities are first rate, however not wherever close to the masters. Also, I’m at all times operating brief on time. What then to do for my Redcat RDS? I made a decision to strive one thing new, once more: shopping for a pre-painted physique. I’ve been impressed with Killerbody’s merchandise earlier than, so determined to go along with their Subaru BRZ, plus a set of MST offset changeable wheels and magnetic physique mounts.
Why Subaru? Looks good, and I’m driving a Subaru myself. A Forester that’s, not very thrilling, however thought it enjoyable to indicate a bit of brand name loyalty. Also, that rear spoiler is rad!
Money properly spent! My Redcat has change into a pleasure to take a look at. Just over a hundy (properly, truthfully a bit much less, thanks Amain!) for a physique is sort of a bit of cash, however contemplating how good it appears it’s numerous bang for the buck. How they will produce such top quality at that value level is past me. Highly beneficial.
It took a brief night getting the physique mounted appropriately, after which one other hour sweeping out the storage. Tomorrow I’ll draft a monitor on the ground. Time to go sideways once more!
