Glad it helped! The new body is still going strong for us, despite the kids best efforts! 😂

If your mini racing is like our mini racing, you'll have the opportunity again soon!

Cheers! Enjoy! 😁

It's a good call. I edited the race footage together on Sunday night, not thinking.... Maybe the next meetings should be at the end? Probably needs more structure, but I don't want it to be half an hour long, either....

@@Gingapaint well I personally enjoyed this one the best so far but you have a few seconds at the start of the video to try and “Hook” people’s interest. I’d definitely try adding some race footage etc to the very beginning. It might work, it might not but I do think it’s worth a go

Great to hear on all accounts! Thanks!

It's new age industrial techno. You wouldn't understand. Or, my microphone was playing up. Either orm

@@Gingapaint I like the new age Techno excuse 😂

The day I found out about it was a revelation. Just means you don't get the "Hot Spots" or washed out looking Fluro, as it's difficult to spray everywhere consistently. You do lose a little bit of ultimate brightness, but it's a much richer Fluro colour.

Hi Dan. By paint coming off easily, is it flaking off, or rubbing off? If it's flaking, it's most likely preparation, or first coat being too heavy (check the next video) or the wrong paint type. If you want to send photos etc, you can message me on my Facebook page and I can see if I can identify the issue :) If it's simply rubbing off, I back everything with spray lacquer (I use Halfords clear, just because it's easy to get). Just first coat needs to be light again :)

@Gingapaint it's not flaking off which is a plus I guess. It's rubbing off. I will try the spray lacquer. Thanks for the tip 👍🏻

@@danreid6416 I run a small amount of light masking tape on areas that I know the body will rub. I know the Nitro guys I help out use a lot of "Shoe Goo" to protect against fuel spilling etc too. I'll try to get my buddy Brad over at some point to show what he does to his 8th scale bodies, he's pretty easy on them.

@@Gingapaint that would be great. I will try your tips. Thanks again!

Yeah, so back Fluro Yellow with Opaque Yellow etc etc. You'll lose a little bit of the overall brightness, but it's a much richer, more consistent colour.

Iridescent is a little different, as you can manipulate the finish, depending on backing colour.

Absolutely fella. I usually record this on Sunday and Monday evenings. 😁

You were invited!! Lol! Yourself and Bradley are to be the comic relief! 😂😂😂 I'll be rounding up after RCNi on Sunday if you wanna call over.

Superstar! Thanks Jim. If you get chance, pop me a race calendar across. I'll try to get over and do a quick club visit video too.

Hero! ❤️

Hi David, all parts for this came from MB Models (rccarshop.com) except the Schumacher ARB Mounts, which came straight from Schumacher (racing-cars.com) I'm not sure about availability elsewhere, I'm afraid. Part numbers are listed in the video if that helps at all.

Still far too clean.... It'll get a rattle soon 😈

@@Gingapaint I'll show it some track, once the 17.5 championship is in the bag. 😛 *The podium spots are up for grabs but it's pretty much sealed. Bamber 🏆🥇

Don't get too comfortable on your perch, come indoors season 😉

@@Gingapaint Ohh that's a different animal 🤣

@@chrisb_rc I can't wait, to be honest. Might not run the MS1.0 until indoors. The RS1.0 needs a rattle and could see Ballymoney. Are many running the Justock combo yet?

It was an INCREDIBLE concert!! Everything I thought it would be! Hopefully you'll see them soon!

Hi Leslie, the RS1.0 runs a standard 1/10th scale 190mm width Touring car body. My RS currently has a "Zoo Racing" touring car body on, but there's a massive selection to choose from! You can see mine here: ua-cam.com/video/zFfEjEUS0yM/v-deo.html

No problem, just give me a shout if I can help with anything! 😁

There is a bit of a trick to this, to avoid "hot spots" etc 😉

That's a great point actually. I'll pop some Fluro down next and show the different points to help out 😁

For years, I ran down to B&Q and bought the cheapest oil free compressor I could find (some of them were loud, but at £50-£60 you couldn't complain!) and just put an inline water trap on. Did me fine, for years at a time, until the piston rod failed! If noise is a problem, then you need to be a little more careful with selection, but I was always lucky enough to have a converted space where I wasn't annoying anyone.

For the price point, it's unreal! I've tried the "eBay special" cheap brushes before, that were poor, but genuinely very pleased with this. It'll stay hooked up to the compressor 😁

Really impressive bit of kit, for the price point!

A TT02 is great, we raced them at our club for ages and my young lad still does a spec class in them, but you'll love the precision and quality of the Yokomo kit. Massively surprising just how well these go, alongside top line kits! Fire any questions you need to at me! 🙂

I had a paint failure once, but it was Pactra "Fluro base" instead of white. That was a loooooong time ago! Anytime I see it elsewhere, it's poor prep or thick aerosol application.

Ah, I've got used to the screw bags, but Tamiya Etc has us spoiled!! I'm itching to get started, but I'm under pressure to paint a few bodies... Then the race is on to get it running this weekend!

I was hoping to get it a run round last night, but didn't get chance. I'll be there tonight for another go!

@@GingapaintSee you there 👍

I was behaving.... Big sends on Sundays 😉

@@Gingapaint 😉

Hi, the largest club in Northern Ireland is the UMCC, primarily racing on road now. Indoors at Wellington College, Belfast during the winter and outdoors at the Joey Dunlop leisure Centre in Ballymoney. For off road, RCNI has just opened, outside Banbridge catering for both 10th and 8th scale off road on their own specific tracks.

@Gingapaint Awesome. Glad to hear it's still a viable hobby.

​@@captainchaos3053Yeah, numbers have fluctuated, members come and go. We're starting to see old members back now with their own kids too. Second generation racers are Properly quick too!! We've just completed a purpose built off-road venue too, for 8th and 10th scale which we've been missing for a while!

@Gingapaint Sounds like a blast. I haven't really raced for about 30 years. My Mardave mini was a jammy rocket. That is to say I hit the jackpot with a screamer of a motor by pure chance. What is the best entry level for a kid to start with these days?

@@captainchaos3053 honestly, wherever you can race locally! A friendly atmosphere and guys willing to help out a newcomer is more important than the actual class. Something that controls costs is always a bonus too, but honestly it's just wherever you can go home with a smile! I'm just home from a practice night at our local club, and I only ran the car for maybe 6-7 minutes, but had great fun laughing and joking with friends, all of whom I've met from playing with "Toy Cars" 😂

It was one of the very first, a few years back. But appreciate the feedback, hopefully you find the newer videos more helpful.

Any suggestions on how it could improved? I must revisit these older videos and learn from them :)

Where did you get the masks from for the headlights?

Hi, I cut them on my vinyl cutter (cricut)

Lol.... I use Savox in pretty much everything. Rarely have an issue? 1251MGs everywhere 😂

@@Gingapaint I'm sure one day I'll venture back to them, could well be one in my 1/8th 😋

Nothing is fool-proof to a suitably qualified fool! 😂😂

Not so much a name, but I call it plenty, when it goes off and I'm not expecting it 😂😂 I maintain it's a great hobby for youngsters. So many skills to learn, and I'm still hanging out with friends I made through it, 30 years ago 😉

Slowly! Lol! It's hung up on my wall, looking splendid!

Thanks for Viewing! 😁

Thank you!! Chuffed to bits with it. I'll get some proper paint on it and replace the rusty hardware soon!

Absolutely not..... This will see a few, steady runs. The SO2.0 however, FULL SEND on Friday 😁

@@Gingapaint 🤣 I'm coming to play 🏎️💨

@@chrisb_rc I'll be there. I might chuck the Pred in the boot, I'm sure Andy will want a nosey 😉

I used to run an older version along with a few local guys. One of the younger lads, I kinda took under my wing and helped out as much as I could. Fast forward 20 years, we're good mates but he stopped racing and I was TC racing. I messaged him about my old XK98, and he said he had this in a box. We struck a deal and the rest is history. Except he's dug all the old stuff out of the garage and is coming racing again this weekend! 😁

A small hurricane.... Lol. When I need coverage and a lot of paint flow, it's pretty high pressure. If I'm honest, I don't look at the gauge anymore and do it all with "feel". I've a pressure regulator just to my left, that I can adjust on the fly, and will adjust on the fly. I find the higher pressure to work best with water based paints, just they can't be reduced as much as the older (Pactra) paints, and won't atomise at lower pressures :)

Cheers fella! I'll chat to you on Saturday about it :)

Hi, I had an RS200 body for my M05, but never ran it! I painted it up in Pat Dorans' Q8 Oils colours and just kept it on display (I love a bit of old Group B) it was low, which would help, but a fairly heavy lexan and very little room in the arches to play with track width etc. it looks fantastic, though. I ended up running a Protoform Europa M, or a Bitty Hibera M most of the time. The Ride BRZ is usually the go-to M chassis body at our club.

I remember the XRay club racer. Looked like a great bit of kit, but never saw too many of them. But then, it wasn't so much cheaper than the race kits. However now, the price of race kits is so much more. The RS1.0 is less than 1/3rd the price of the BD12!!

The mount for the shark fin can get in the way, especially with the included pinion gear. I use a lightweight steel one that allows you to mount it past the mount. I'll check what size I ended up running in Blinky. I suspect that a smaller spur will allow you to mount the motor further forward and avoid the issue. I'll have a look next I have it in my hand!
