awesome build, excited to see the recovery rig. the f250 will be real nice
Hey TRIG im starting the build today so ill post something later today and im trying to make the body work I messed up the post holes due to not noticing the down groove of the hood on the body shell but I think I can come up with something as I have some time before I have proper outside temp to paint the rig.... BUZZZZ......
I agree I used some Krylon for that body and it flaked so got a bunch of Spaz Stix paint which I have used before with no flaking but any suggestions let me know??? Got a lot of bodies and parts to paint this spring!
Nice to meet you CUTLASS.... RC Bee. BUZZZ......

Duplicolor Vinyl & Fabric Coating works as well or better than polycarbonate-specific paints. I've never had it chip or flake ever, and I use it exclusively on my basher bodies.
Upsides: it's $8 for an 11oz can, while Tamiya is usually $8 for a 3oz can. You can get it at pretty much any autoparts store.
Downside: it only comes in 11 colors.
But if you're looking to go with basic colors (like... the colors car interiors come in: black, white, tan, blue, red, charcoal, etc) you can't go wrong.

Awesome I will check them out and yes RC paint is expensive the Spaz Stix will cover one Rig body and also works great not flaking or chipping but 8$ to 10$ a for a small can!! BUZZZZZ........
Good tip. I just so happen to have some tan left over
As far as prep I wash with warm soapy water and air dry. after masking I scuff the body with a red 3mM pad then wipe it down with alcohol on a lint free rag.
Aloha Good prep painting tips Man Thanks! BUZZZZZ....
Finally Started to work full on this Rig and its moving slow but progressing alas! Here are the electronics:
Holmes Hobbies (Magnum 540 Motor and BR-XL ESC)
Castle BEC 1.0 (for 2 servos Reefs 99 winch and 444 smart winch)
Apex RC Products RC Remote Electronic AUX Channel On/Off Switch #9025 (for my light control or accessory on channel 3 on y flysky gt5)

Finishing off the electronics everything works great the servos the motor lights but 99 micro reefs servo pain in the ass but got it figured out and it works great and the end point adjustments have it dialed in perfect on my flysky gt5....BUZZZ....

Looks good!
LURC does state that their spool does require fitment to the axles. It’s a tight fit like you stated.
I’m curious to see what you notice with the spools.

BENP my brother thanks for the comment yes they are tight! When you slide in the portals the rod end is a little thicker than the hole on the spool I do like that it will be tight and eventually sit in there but I did notice the gear action is little stiff but after running it im sure it will loosen up!
now the rear axle whet in pretty easy yet still feels tight
Ill give you an update this afternoon im trying to finish up the wheels tires shocks axles mounted electronics cleaned up!
