I recently did a gulf style livery on my sct ford raptor body. I used a duratrax pearl silver to give it a little bit extra than just the solid color straight from the can.
I have a team associated t6.1 and I got it used and the body is black in the front then sorta fades into white in the rear and on the bottom in front of the rear tire cut out it’s like scars in a dark red with playing cards on it its really dope
Would you please try to paint a body with the Tamiya tape for curves and do a simple-ish scheme...maybe a practice body or something, but show some parts of the process along the way...? I'd love to see how someone with your painting skill would approach the tape and rattle can method, even with a little bit of airbrushing for shading or drop shadows or something simple....
I thought about the qater dipping technique (i dont know if it‘s called that). Where you float some colors in a water surface and then slowli take the body out, then it gets all the stripes randomly. After i would use a layer of white to make the colors pop. But i don‘t know if that would work with the lexan colors. Maybe if the white layer is lexan color it could work too
Love the fact that the "kit" body uses more skill and paint than the "pro" body. Checkers on the front AND back AND four colors between them. AND either end uses different colors. Light in the front and dark in the rear. Might as well just price out both to a painter and save time on the BS.
Those checkers and the swoop on the color bands looks like they could be tricky too. I’d love to see more paining tutorials if you’d share some of your tricks.
hi Ryan "styles" Harris, can you do a video explaining all the different type of motors and what they mean? like the difference between 17.5t, 13.5t ect. thanks!
I kinda feel your examples could have been better. You used to have an rc10 car, with a black / orange yellow white scheme behind you. That IMO, is something much more achievable with a rattlecan and very classic. Good video though, not trying to hate..
I love painting my own bodies. The last one I did was a Tiger Stripe shceme in two tone blue, with a set of racing stripes on top that met at a point on the front. There's something about doing your own scheme that's just satisfying.
Back in the day there used to be concourse before the race where the real custom bodies would show up to win a trophy but you wouldn't see them on the track. A lot of the race bodies were painted like a Nascar or other relatable racing livery. These days with everyone running custom bodies with custom stickers an old school paint scheme stands out nicely.
I love your “Kit” look. Don’t get me wrong your “Pro” is dialed but the “Kit” just looks real. And by real I mean relatable. Humble, yet confident at the same time. An actual person, not just a factory drone. I see more personality out of your “Kit” than your “Pro”. That said, you do a really noice job either way. Love your vids Ryan! Keep it up! Semper Par!
Ryan, it's so good to see these old school type paint scheme. I remember back in the 90's how these looked so cool. Definetly going to do one similar. Cool video!
Such modesty Ryan. I love how you think the second body design is "simple", lol. For most of us even your "simple" design is out of reach. Loving the vids 😁
Heya Ryan (love the vids btw), I was wondering if you had any views/knowledge on 1/10th scale Tekno cars? About a year ago I bought my first rc race car, the EB410 and absolutely love it, although it seems I'm the only one in the south of England running one (got it cos it was by far the cheapest new kit to buy as it was going out of stock and manufacture - student budget...). Do you know anything about the EB410.2? Is it worth upgrading to it or switching to another brand like XRAY/Associated (what most people here run it seems) and does upgrading through the variants of cars really make a huge difference being faster? or is that all just noticeable to pros too? I guess one other quick thing; do you have any tips for people trying to race on limited student budgets other than buying less food and getting a summer job hahaha. Thanks :)
You are killing it with the production quality! I know what it takes and your a work horse bro! Kills me rc brands won't step up. Keep it up. your production gives you credibility. Major players need to get with it.
Another awesome video my friend!! Again.. you’ve inspired me to get back into RC racing after a 17 year “break”!! Great job, and keep these videos coming!!! 👍🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Ryan, I love both those bodies! I am getting my start in rc body painting. Just got my Iwata Revolution and a couple colors and have a roll of 20”x50’ .003 Mylar coming to practice on. I really liked your tutorial how you did the current scheme. I watch that vid often. Come to think of it... there’s a whole bunch of you videos that I watch often! 😁 much love brother! Oh your pick of music for your content is spot on bro. Keep these coming!!!
Would love to see you do a video on different body styles and how they affect the handling of the car. Like a rawspeed prototype vs a nitehawk body on a tlr 22 for example. 😁
I've never understood this whole customer sticker thing, to me they just look all the same and a tad boring. I enjoy getting all my stickers out and choosing which ones go where. I think kit stickers just look so much better, but that's just my opinion.
I don't know jack about color theory, but my scheme colors go great together and my S1R stickers are a cool contrast to that that looks great. Most people just get the same exact color stickers as their primary paint colors which is safe and usually works but the contrasting can really set things apart if done right.
How do you cut out the edging so precisely? Would be great to see a video on that itself. I've seen your video on paintng the whole body from years ago.
Having a primary colour that can be called out from the rostrum is important. Hate it when someone has a 5 colour car that isn't clearly callable, makes marshalling/ race controlling difficult.
"I can tell they didn't look at a color wheel". Indeed and a lot of 'pro' painters - perhaps thats more down to customer request however, but it is amazing how many car bodies colors just don't work well together.
Haha 'super easy', yeah something like that. As always Ryan great content, amazing skills and cool makeshift photo studio. Your photos/ images are just stunning and fully agree on the long range shots. As for the paint schemes both are really strong of course and difficult to choose. For me it's all about character too, like the old skool 80's kits from Tamiya and the rest. One thing that comes to mind though is the actual form of the body. I'm a car designer (big ones not little ones) and feel that today's bodies are all just a bit generic and dare I say it dull. Knowing your attention to all details why don't you think about a Ryan Harris body set? These are just vacuum formed tubs so pretty easy. Imagine the possibilities!
@@RyanHarrisRC got it! Thanks Ryan. By the way. Got an idea for a video. How do you prepare your car setup wise before racing. Do you check your setup after every run, and so on! 🤙🏻😎
It's too bad you didn't showcase the "kit" body on the white background like you did your "pro" body. Setting it on a rustic table definitely makes it scream "not pro". It might have been an ease of production choice on your part, but it definitely created a class distinction between the two no matter how much you lauded the kit look in your dialogue.
Legend has it that Billy is still panting...
My dog pants like that when it storms.... it's to lazy to do anything active to pant like that otherwise...
Just a heads up......you pinned me to pick up my first Losi.......a Mini T 2.0

I stay with good old red white and blue. Front is blue ripping with 13 white stars in it. Then red and white stripes that cover to the back.

Hey Ryan, I’ve been a fan for a while and wanting to get started in racing.
Any suggestions
Kit body style looks WAY better than the Raw Speed. Kit body would look better with your scheme and stickers of course.
I like the look of the raw speed body better

Your bully is beautiful!
I have always ran white on the front so I can easily see the front of the car in the distance. Especially in darker tracks.
Got the name just right today!! Great video..
Another paint tutorial, even just for the checker pattern, would be great!

Bull terriers are the best dogs. So full of love.
This was a fun video. 👍👍. Looking forward to your next race weekend. 🏎🏁🤙
Farmhouse style decor. 🤙🏼 I’m still trying to figure out a paint scheme. What was your first paint job on an RC car?
First scheme was a blue with white stripes type of thing!

Wow your dog is huge lmao
Ryan let’s get real of us regional guys try to look factory
Bruss, that kit design looks mint👌 ya getting me keen to paint another body😂
Sounds like there might be some "stylish" merch coming!!! Fingers Crossed!! 😊🤙

So I have this dex210 and before I watched this I painted my car dark green with yellow tyres is that fine ?
Sorry if dumb question haven’t raced yet and I wanted to know does it really matter
Sorry I mean when I start to race there isn’t any rule about what colour the body is
Miss my Weimaraner. Velcro dogs, always leaning in for love. 6:56 found my MP10t scheme, sick paint idea!

Great point. Often overlooked...
Ayooo! new Ryan Harris video
I like kit style paint skeems
Just say “no” to the mullet.
Dude.. the kit body paint scheme is AMAZING! That is what I am looking for and will work on for my next scheme.
Hey rayan will you be at the 2nd part of the ins 11 at ss raceway I’ll be there

#solidcolorgang
What you do to your wings to look opaque?
Do you do customer paint work?
What airbrush are you using
Why don’t you paint the wing?
I go through multiple wings before I need a new body, so clear is easy to replace!

I can't find the hobbywing stickers on stickit1?
On the old school paint job the rear is checked black and what is the other color ?
It's just black mixed with a small amount of white to make a charcoal type of color.
I love the dane in your videos, I have a solid black female. Great 🐕
Hi Ryan can u turn a traxxas slash into a race car
In the SCT class, sure! But won't be able to compete with 2wd or 4wd buggies that's for sure.
I think one colour (note correct English spelling) and no stickers looks best.
Nice touring car
top video but the water tap is dripping in the kitchen ;-)
the b74
I do have one negative criticism...
No way is monster better than redbull
Kit body looks better
Why nobody in the 1/10 offroad Szene is coloring the Wings?? It looks kind of akward to me
Because they break often
I am colorblind as hell, nothing helps me.
Monster energy IS better than red bull
tamiya body is better
