Big Rock Im not playing around anymore.... Indestructible Body

[Camreno]

Okay well maybe not "indestructible' but perhaps just a little stronger than stock...

I bought this RC and on day 2 I broke the body where they all seem to break by just rolling it.

Bought a new one and did the following:

2k Clear Coat + Ceramic Coat for easy cleaning.
FibaTape cement board mesh tape + E6000 glue
Steel reinforcement bars
Aluminum roof skids



FYI this was a complete pain in the butt that took 2 days that I don't recommend anyone do lol....

After...

Great job!
The new body should be able to take the abuse better from all the re-enforcement you put in.

What color white is that? looks nice.

I'd like to know what kind of white that is also

Isn't that the stock body paint from the factory..?

Yeah I think it is since the new 6s BR comes in white as a option

 

[blaster27]

I thought pearl white.

I thought pearl white.

Me too. I did a Baja Bug for my wife a few years ago in Pearl White and that looks pretty close.

Just the stock white the big rocks come in

@Camreno thinking of shoegooing my big body with plasterboard tape did the internal cage fit over the protected parts of your jpdy OK?

That Big Rock body is certainly ready for the zombie apocalypse or WW3...whichever comes first

 

[blaster27]

It's fun working on an RC.

Did it fit? Yes, was it okay? Debatable lmao. The only part that really gave me a struggle was the silver piece that goes in for the back bumper just because it's such a tight fit and I added a good amount of new material. I had to shave down the bumper to get it to go in.

Also I'm happy to report this body as help up very to all my abuse well since I did this, no cracks or anything!

Thanks I'll just give it a light layer of tape and glue and see how I go. Good to hear it's holding up to all the abuse. Pictures don't do it justice, in the flesh it's definitely one of Arrma's best looking bodies
