G4/Tangiers Orange Paint

MudMissile · Oct 29, 2013

Where can i find some Tangiers Orange or who would donate some to me?
I have decided i want to paint my 1/10 (1/8.5) Scale Defender in G4 Orange (And mu brown G4 Disco 4) but its hard to find the right orange and i don't know where to look for the correct stuff. I would preferably need it as an aerosol but i do have an airbrush somewhere.

Thanks guys

:violent:

You might want to introduce yourself in the imaginatively titled "Introduce yourself" section before you try and blag stuff off people

I see AXIAL parts under those bodies!

What chassis? I have an old AX-10 Scorpion. Great fun, but I'd love the SCX Honcho or Dingo.

She's an Axial SCX10 Dingo but with rather shortened links and drive shafts. had to tilt the axles just to make it so the CV's were at usable angle still

Been looking everywhere for a scale landy rc! how do these butties drive?

MudMissile · Oct 29, 2013

mines not been driven yet but they appear to be very good although there is only 1 kit that you can build as a defender as standard. i got an SCX10 Dingo (Dingo look like a Defender as standard) for the other body options and many upgrade parts for them

I took a couple of flex shots, Im going to get some slightly smaller tires and a set of real steel wheels, Dont think im going to bother with a spare for now but 4 wheels and tires should come to just over £50

I have been looking at some RAL 2004 Pure Orange paint that is close to Tangiers Orange.

Have the new wheels got holes in them to allow the tyres and foam inside to "air-down" when going over stuff?

Don't know how heavy those new wheels will be,but you may want to put some weights around the circumference of the wheesl before fitting the tyres. With these R/C buggers, and the speed you'll be driving them - hopefully fairly slow to look quite realistic

- then unsprung weight, low down works wonders for traction and stability.

Looks like you need more weight or softer springs to get some more flex

they dont hav wholes but my current ones do so they sit half flat at the back anyway and i still have allot of weight to add. I can always assemble the tires submerges and have them full of water for ballast haha

nahh, there is more weight going to be in the front and the springs are adjustable and i have tightened them up quite a bit to keep it sat level, just a cup sitting on the roof can make the back drop more
