i dont like shoe goo. it stinks and is not healthy.
Probably about as heathy as the food we get from wal mart 😆
I use e6000 with the same results incase anyone wondered . I did a slash body and it has yet to brake
Jim, go back to school and attain literacy.

@@johnhrichak3451 do you have a valid point or just a troll ?
If your not a man,you might want gloves🤣🤣🤣every time I try and wear gloves those shit’s come right off😜
I have done this to my Vorteks and it’s an amazing way to strengthen your body . I just finished doing my brand new Arrma Granite and I will be doing it to my blue granite body when it comes
Yep. I do the same process for my crawler bodies. I completely fiber tape the whole body, shoe good and use black flex seal over all of it. It helps tremendously for impact. Dampens alot. Great video man.
I've used the spay on version of Plasti-dip to coat the inside of my 1/18 Slash,1/18 La Trax Teton, Jeep Rubicon 1/10 Axial, RC4WD TF2. Good tip, thanks for sharing! 00
Yep! Plasti dip works also! Thanks for watching!
Another good idea I've used is the clear flex seal in the spray can
Does the flex seal dry clear enough to be a top coat on something like a hard body rock crawler? Don’t need shiny, just protect against rubbing the paint off…
It is pretty clear but it does leave a textured type surface. You wouldn’t want to spray it on heavy and it also don’t react well with some paints. I had a buggy body painted with a killer design. The backer the guy used was horrible and the paint would scratch real easy so I sprayed some clear flex seal in it and some of the paint wanted to bubble! So I’d be careful putting it on top of any paint directly.
I used plasti-dip spray it came out flat black then i hit it with a clear coat and that made it glossy and as Matt said it definitely adds weight but its a solid body now i have yhe drywall tape and E6000 inside and the plasti-dip outside
I tried flex seal on a body before and I didn’t notice any extra protection or flex. Just shoe goo and dry wall tape I find works best
I usually just add the flex seal to seal the paint in the areas where it’s hard to get the shoe goo. It don’t do much alone.
@@2fmrc ah that makes sense brother
Awesome vid.. I used to much ShooGoo growing up skateboarding.. Major question tho.....where did you work matt go? lol
Actually shot this video a long time ago. Before the mat. It just got lost in the mix and I never uploaded it. So I found it and decided to go ahead and post it instead of wasting it lol
@@2fmrc Haha makes sense! Love my mat all thanks to you! lol
@@JagImaging yeah I’m not getting rid of it anytime soon lol
Dude, you absolutely SHOULD NOT be using shoe Goo indoors, especially not with your son. That stuff is INSANELY TOXIC! Only apply it outdoors and still use a chemical respirator on your face. I learned the hard way. I applied it to a bunch of my bodies indoors over the course of a couple weeks and I was letting the glue dry in my room as well. Caused me respiratory/sinus issues and literal brain damage. Read the label.
Dang! Good thing is I’m already brain damaged 😆 I always sit it outside to dry for sure though. Can’t handle the odor. I’ve always applied it indoors though. Been doing it for 10+ years and it hasn’t killed me yet lol
@@2fmrc well if I were you I'd start only applying it outdoors. It's nasty stuff. Aloha from Maui 😎🤙🏽
@@brsrc759 yeah I’ll definitely be doing that after hearing of your issues with it. Hate to hear that man! Really appreciate the heads up! Maui?!! That’s awesome!!!
Hey brother, is there any way to run a single set of LEDs off an iguana esc? No real need for a tegu outside wanting headlights but someone told me he ran his off his aux port? Not sure if that’s a good idea or not though
Should be able to run them off the aux port on the stock receiver or any channel of an aftermarket receiver as far as I know. I have a lizard connected to my flysky Gt5 receiver on one of mine and run lights off the ch3 of the flysky receiver just fine.
@@2fmrc wait so are the lizard and iguana not esc receiver combos like the stock esc? In other words would I need an external receiver to use the iguana
@@V8chump no they aren’t combos but you can use them with the stock combo. You just plug them into ch2 on the stock setup and it bypasses the stock esc and just uses it as a receiver. Or you can add you own receiver and use whatever controller you want.
@@2fmrc oh shit that’s pretty sweet! Don’t know how I missed that tidbit of info but thanks for the replies, super hyped to try it out 😁
@@V8chump anytime! Let me know if ya need anything else!
Have any of you had issues with the Flex Seal negatively interacting with the the RC paint, assuming that a proper paint was uses such as a Tamiya PS paint, whether the spray or liquid Flex Seal?
I did have a body that was air brushed by someone else (bought off eBay) that the flex seal reacted with and caused some bubbling. If it’s a really nice custom paint job I usually like to spray some normal clear over the paint before adding any flex seal and then I make sure I go light coats with the flex seal. If added to thick it can mess with the paint also.
@@2fmrc The body I'll be using has some large areas of quite light colors and I've noticed the drywall tape shows through in those sections. So I was thinking of hitting it with white PS-1, then the tape in those critical areas as you did, followed by Shoe Goo in only those areas with tape, and ending with the suggested few light coats of white Flex Seal, the latter being in direct contact with the white paint in all the un-taped areas.
Thinking it would be less time consuming to paint the Flex Seal with a brush, no need for all that painter's tape, but maybe it wouldn't be?
I know form pass experience that brushing on a layer of a 'hotter' paint on top can make the base layers bubble-up, and spraying the same paint instead of brushing it on is more tolerated.
Think I'll do the process on an old piece of lexan and see what happens.
Thanks a bunch Matt
Resolution: Brush on the liquid Flex Seal over the reinforced areas (tape with goo) to help get into the nooks and crannies, then spray the entire thing in light coats as Matt recommended! 👍
Hey, buddy. I'm super new to painting my own bodies. I just tried gluing some magnet mounts inside a freshly painted body and the glue is turning the dried paint to mush and not allowing the magnets to stick. Am I using the wrong paint/glue, or should I be putting something like the shoe goo or flex seal over the paint for the magnets to glue to?
I normally do a light coat of clear or this flex seal before I do the glue. I also either use shoe goo or e6000 usually. I’ve had some paints not react well to the glue as well. Some even don’t like the flex seal. It may be a good idea to do a clear made for Rc first then the flex seal or something like that. A lot of airbrushed bodies don’t do well with this treatment. Have to go light coats on the flex seal and usually they’ll be ok. Hope that helps some!
Thank you for the advice!
Anytime! Thanks for watching!
Put a sticker over the hole
Is that child on the spectrum?
Clearly
I have got to do this with my Felony body. I already have paint missing but I think I can save it. Great idea on the FlexSeal.
@@sagnhill it works really well! Just don’t do it too thick at once. Spray light coats. Some paints it’ll mess with if you spray too much at once. Light coats several times I’ve never had an issue though! Keep me updated on how it goes!
@@2fmrc Will do. I am waiting for some parts I have on order. I should get the first half this week then the end of month I get the rest. So I should have it back on the road by September...
