Hello all once again an intro to me, I am newish to rc cars and got a typhon 6s this week.
I wanted to share a bizarre project I tried. I saw the shoe goo and drywall tape body mod on youtube so I gave it a try. The drywall tape is supposed to hold it together and the shoe goo is flexible but strong adhesive. I didn't have drywall tape so I used some fiberglass matt I had laying around.
I measured and cut a piece of fiberglass, I smeared the body shell with shoe goo, I put the fiberglass on, another layer of shoe goo on top and smoothed it down the best I could. I opted for the shoe goo instead of resin since the shoe goo is more flexible so my thought is resin is more likely to crack.
Is this a good idea? I have no idea. Will this last? Probably not. Was this messy? Very. Is it fun experimenting and tinkering just as much as burning through batteries? ABSOLUTELY!
Have a good weekend everybody
