So far I haven’t really needed those fans yet with stock gearing and outside temperatures. So I connected then to a control switch so I can switch both fans on/off by pressing CH3 on the remote.

Guys would Flex Seal work? It’s dries hard. fiberglass & spray??I went to a DIY store and used fiberglass tape and used (Bison) rubber seal. The rubber seal is typically used for repairing little cracks in a gutter or roof. It’s waterproof and 750% elastic.
thanks
These are the ones I got (for the 30mm fans):

I just coated a drain when I redid bathroom and it dried like a hard rubber. Would think with mesh & flex could add some integrity to thin weak bodies. I have a can maybe I’ll try.Yeah same here. Using two channels to control fans. Did a bit of an overkill because I plan to trial and error pinions
and motors over spring/summer. Not sure what to expect heatwise but might be ready for it lol.View attachment 131609View attachment 131610

It will feel like whatever surface it's applied to. Best way to know is to cut a small piece of it from your repair and inspect. You will find it pliable(flexible). But like all rubberized products, it will become brittle sooner or later due to heat or cold temperatures.I just coated a drain when I redid bathroom and it dried like a hard rubber.

Paint tip: use an Exacto blade to scrape away paint flaws.Very cool build and I love the details. Gave me some great ideas like painting the letters on the tires. I hope my hands are steady enough to do as good a job as you did on yours

Im not done with that part yetCan you show a picture of how you ran your light wiring? I'm looking for some ideas for mine. Thanks in advance
How do you paint the letters??Another thing done on the list: wheels.
Decided to keep the stock wheels, but found them a bit boring. Colored the lettering white, Arrma logo red, and bolts silver.

Also wanted to know where you got your roof protector from?Installed roof protectors and started with some lights.
Not sure whether to go for the normal angel eyes style or to make them more agressive (more BMW style) ?
Leaning towards the BMW style, but depends with the look/visibility when I install the other lights (fog/search lights).

The letters with a tire marker (automotive shop).How do you paint the letters??

Lights are running from receiver. Depending on how powerful the lights are you can use an Y-splitter to run two or three lights from one channel, but since I like to switch the different lights on/off from the transmitter using an control switch, I use channels 3, 4 and 5 to turn on/off lights. DumboRC receivers can now be had with that control switch function already built in the receiver in channels 3 and 4.@Sandracer_NL how'd you run your light wiring?
Also, my painted letters didn't last long out bashing LOL.
I don’t have the Kraton anymore, traded it for a Mojave, and don’t have pictures of the wiring job.@Sandracer_NL nice. You do such clean work I'm actually looking for ideas on how to neatly run the wires through the body.
