    I never would have thought to try this.... I really want to try it and also want to never do this both at the same time!!! Glitter is just evil and never ever leaves! It does look really, really cool though! Thank you to the Chief Engineer for taking one for the entire RC community with this one!!!! He will be forever glittery!

      Clear lacquer would work well if we did it again I think building layers with glitter and lacquer would give it depth 👍

    @shumakerguitarworkssgw9505 2 роки тому +3

    Next time, spray a medium to thick coat of clear lacquer on it, put the glitter in your hands and blow it at the body. I use it on guitars. You can do as many coats as needed. Then a few more coats of clear over it and you’ll have a deep bass boat flake finish that’s smooth

    It came out really well! Not nearly as "glittery" as I thought it would be, more like a carbon, charcoal kind of look, with a sparkle of course! Loving the red stickers on the tyres, too, nice touch! The blue steering rods were very noticable, ha ha, but not when it was out for the run, so let's just forget about those... I see you got plenty Lunchbox vids, I think I watch one more!

    • @RCsoandso

    Nothing wrong with bling & it looks really good! Although probably taking too much effort for a body that may get scratched, I bet you could do some really nice effects with nail powder that you rub onto colour base coat before clear lacquering...with paint of course rather than nail polish 💅

    • @RCsoandso
      @RCsoandso  2 роки тому +1

      Imagine how many of those little bottles of nail polish you would need for something of this size, but it would make it tough, that’s why it was good to use with conkers! But yes it has turned out looking tip top 👍😆💅

    I love Metal flakes or Glitter, i usually paint Bike parts with it.
    I take the paint that i want it to have, black in your case,
    -paint it
    -take your metal flakes or glitter and pour it over the wet paint
    -you need a spraycan clear coat now ca.500ml or more
    -add clearcoat layer, after ca. 3min the next layer and so on until you have a plane look (it will take time and many many layers)
    Drytime in the summer ca 3days under 15°C ca. 4 to 5days
    I promise you it will look awesome like from a paint shop

    • @RCsoandso
      @RCsoandso  Рік тому +1

      Wow I’d imagine that would have a real deep shine to it and look really good, and would give it depth. In honesty this didn’t really pop in the way we thought, method and glitter might not have been the best for the job. If we were to do it again I’d really try the method you mentioned as that seems to be a winner, I’d also use a slightly larger flake, and maybe not black 😆🤔👍

    Oh wow I'm pretty sure I've never seen anyone do that before! Looks great in a 70s disco sort of way. Does the glitter fall off when it rolls over? I guess that because you based it on a black shell you won't notice too much. Anyway I probably won't try that with a body shell but those alu upgrades looks great and actually practical for extra strength. Great stuff guys. Is the Lunchbox called Gary?

    How does it run/feel compared to your other lunchboxes with those aluminium parts?
    I have a work in progress SW-01 mini lunch box which I’ve gone overboard with hop ups on…. Yeah racing makes some good pieces for the SW01 like wheelie bar, but Hot Racing make some really good chassis pieces. I accidentally broke my plastic chassis whilst building it so instead of getting a replacement Tamiya parts tree with the same weakness (ok it was a fair bit of user error) I decided I’d get some Hot racing chassis pieces. Unfortunately Hot racing pieces can’t be sent to Australia so I had my first remailer experience to get them sent over.
    Its possible by using a few generic pieces to make an entirely metal SW01 👀 if that’s your thing. I’ve upgraded the motor to accomodate for the extra weight.

    • @RCsoandso
      @RCsoandso  2 роки тому +1

      I was looking at a metal chassis for the lunchbox you can get, it could be overkill but it would make it battle proof. The upgrades give it a tighter feeling, as well as more confidence. I’d always try having a weak point so if something would break it would be a cheaper part with luck. Importing is touch and go, I got stung from something I ordered from Euro RC with import duty, which meant it cost more than if I bought it in the UK so I will not be using them again 👍
