I usually put masking tape between the two magnets when glueing to make sure I don’t glue them together. Otherwise, I do a similar process. One thing I do is set it all without glue, add the outer body magnets like you did, but tape them to the body. Then I pull off the body, put glue in the body mags and they pop right into place where you have the outer mags taped. You could potentially cure the body mags without the body on the chassis that way. Great video Jen-nay!
@@mazzdesigns6929 I guess you’re gonna have to do a black ‘vinyl’ style hood to cover those spots on the blue one, but that will look great. I had one barely move on me and you could see a tiny bit of the shiny magnet through the lexan. Had to dot touch up on the exterior. Luckily it’s not really noticeable. You are right about taking your time when gluing. Definitely need to test fit and have a good plan/tools/cleanup just like you say. And patience to wait the 48hrs!
Great video man!! I have done it very similar except I get the body lined up without glue then I throw a couple magnets on top of the tape and trace a line around them. Once I got the line traced on the tape on top I make sure the are still aligned then tape them in place. Boom now with the body off I can just drop the glue and let the magnets fall into place. Works out great and I can do all my gluing with the body off.
Yo mazz, just thinking as a precaution, you could lay a layer of foil or plastic wrap on top of the car before you place the second mangers on top. So the shoe goo will not be able to make contact with anything other than the body the magnets and the plastic wrap or foil. Just a thought
What if the body has a curve on it? Wont the magnet follow the curve and not sit on the bottom magnet properly? Is it ok to have a gap between the magnets when dried? Or should have magnets attached together and let the glue fill the gaps with the curves? I have a 1/20 toyota pickup body i'm trying to mount on the stock chassis. The hood has a curve to it.
You just want the mags a bit off the body. Add your glue, place body and turn upside down. This will allow the glue to form to the curve. If you have voids once cured just add a little more glue and leave to cure again. Thanks for watching!
Mannnn! I so wish I saw this months ago! I totally know what you mean by it will move your paint nd trust it did ruin my day real fast! Haha live and learn!
I never thought about turning the body upside down to flow the excess glue around the magnets. I put a piece of tape between the top & bottom magnets so the magnets don’t get glued together.

Those are good ideas as well. I turn the body upside down to make sure mags don’t glue together and have yet to have it happen yet. 🤞

It happens to the best of us. I appreciate you sharing your preference as well!
I love that mid 90's "truckin" style paint
Thanks brotha!
Appreciate the video, awesome tip on gluing the magnets down.
Thanks Andy for watching 👍

That sounds like a pretty good way as well. Thanks for watching
Great video. I have been thinking of getting that same body.
Check out the coyote body as well!
Thank you for the information about glue the bodys
Thanks for taking the time to watch Fred
I keep some Shoe Goo on deck… great with my 10th scale bashing bodies too.
Yes sir that and drywall mesh tape

That works too
I was wondering what color paint was on the body that was messed up. Thanks
Blue metallic
That body is so sick!!!!
Thanks Caldwell race works on fb did it for me!
Looks like I need to buy some shoe goo. This seems way more secure than my servo tape jobs that need to be redone every couple months. lol
I have always used e6000 but I think I like the shoe goo as it’s not as harsh
Shoe goo is amazing stuff!
Prep prep prep
🤘
Have you considered trying to find a way to transfer the glue into a syringe or similar? Would be much easier to meter the glue output.
Some blunt tip syringe may work. Thanks for watching brotha hope all is well. Gotta catch up soon. You know it’s football season 🤘
Spectacular course
Scrape that paint and glue spray a flat black valence In there and bang bang she’s a runner again 🤪😎jennnae
