I love rattlecans! The extra space behind the shocks makes the acces to the battery space a lot easier, and after just taking it out for a test run, I can say they perform like they should.
Just a pointer from a fellow exo owner (and racer) if you relocate the rear shocks to the cross bar on the back of the cage you will get much better performance. It does require a longer screw but eliminates binding.
Tiny bit of violence did the trick! ;) They are the narrow fronts over too wide rims. Managed to make it work, had it out for a test and so far, so good!
I'm happy to see you again, David! It is indeed very low key, I didn't want it to be too flashy. I think you'll like to try this, it's very effective and easy to do!
I think that would look absolutely sick! Try a good plastic primer, like the Tamiya fine primer, and see if you can finish it with white TS paint, and a clearcoat. Looking forward to see it, cool idea for sure!
I agree on your shock mounting Idea. I used It to mount my Integy piggybacks on the rear mount,, Looks awesome! I used the Integy piggybacks for the hpi blitz SC, ( rear shocks,, ordered off of EBAY).. they work brilliantly! they come with a bag of mounting hardware that made it possible to mount to the EXO cage! also installed on the front clip was the Integy piggyback shocks made for the Traxxas Slash 2wd. ,, they installed great! no mods needed!.. LOOKS AWESOME!!!!
I'm glad it's built, and now that it is the drive of the rig makes up for the annoyance of for example the battery placement. Finally starting to like this RC, took me a while though! ;)
Looks great, Chris! I didn't notice the water droplet effect when I first saw the pics... Nice subtlety! I'm excited to try it on my next body. Once again, a great paint job!
I would never advise to leave the pack in the car while charging, but they really made it painfully difficult to swap out the pack. The shock mod helps, but it is still a real hassle to change the batteries... Fortunately the drive makes up for it!
That was cool what you did with the water. Just my thought, maybe backing it with white to have the white come through instead the gunmetal would have made it pop a bit more but hey the rig look awesome nevertheless. As always great job and thanks for sharing. Will be painting my truck today so look out for my video.
COOL rig bro love the paint job it really sets the cool looking (if knightmarish build) exo off looks incredible with the roof rack! Loved the little bit of violence quote about the tires good job buddy you really are an inspiration to go and have a go cheers!! And think its about time the EXO came as an RTR!! or at least sort out the glaring issues that every one except AXIAL seem to agree on!!
Love your exo really cool paint job agonised for days how to do mine didnt have the same build issues you did with the diffs may be its something they have fixed. The battery is a bastard to get in and out i dumped the rubber straps and the little hinge bits and made up my own velcro straps as i also run 3s battery it was the only way to get it in. The plastic shocks arent brilliant either but will replace when i have the money
Je had dat reserve wiel beter op het dak rek kunnen monteren, dan verpest je de spoiler niet en zou het er nogsteeds gaaf uit hebben gezien :) maar toch weer een mooie video!
It looks great in the video! I never would of thought about misting water on the panels before painting, GREAT EFFECT!!!! You must stay up lateat night comming up with all you ideas on painting. Did you study graphic arts or do you just have a natural talent?
Hey do you have any tips on painting old plastic bodies like the lunch box from tamiya? Do I have to prime it first or can I just go ahead and paint away? Thanks for the great vids btw.
1ST I love your vids man. i try to paint all my body's with rattle cans as well. I thought the design of the exo terra shock hook up was stupid too. to much of a hassle.
Hey hemi, LOVE your build!! yeah I love squirrel, Medic, and 420hp..I have a paint question! I'am thinking of painting my exo cage all in white! What do you think? and what is the best way to do this?? thanks Hemi!..
Kan du farge ett for meg om jeg betaler ? Du bestiller body osv (når jeg har fått bilen da) for jeg har lyst til å ha ett awesome body og det er ett skolebuss body , og klarer du å lage blod og rust på det så det ser ut som akopalypse buss ?
i thought my exo was easy to buil and im 14.....ive had no problems with it except it seems like axials plastic is pretty cheap, the first thing i had to buy was rpm a-arms for the front then also a few other things like a strc racing front shock tower and i also put a strc racing motor mount but that was cuz i tightened my motor to much and it dented the original motor mount, but other then that i absolutely love my exo, ive had no problems with it it went together very easy it was my first kit
i dont understand where did the clear peel off thing come from was it from the paint job its self or something you added to it this is my first time painting my car so i just want to be sure
Most bodyshells come with a clear overspray film on the outside. It's easy to check if there is one on yours by seeing if you can peel off a corner. I hope this helps, have fun painting and take your time! :)
Hey Chris,would you, considering als Pros and Cons, recommend the Exo Terra. I have the opportunity to get the Kit Version for around 200 Euro. So what is your advice. I´m torn between this and the upcoming Losi Ten SCBE. Grüße aus Deutschland!
+HemiStorm RC - Custom RC builds, painting videos and more Thx Chris, Bit just hours After Posting my question,the Exo Terra was Sold for 190 Euro as a kit. Cya

These are awesome! I use them in the SCX10 as well, no complaints so far, well over 6 months of use now on 4 packs.

Who needs a garage? This is what livingrooms are made for! ;)
I'm glad it's built, and now that it is the drive of the rig makes up for the annoyance of for example the battery placement. Finally starting to like this RC, took me a while though! ;)
I will, looking forward to see what you are up to! Thanks for watching!
Thank you, buddy! Glad you like the video!
Looks great, Chris! I didn't notice the water droplet effect when I first saw the pics... Nice subtlety! I'm excited to try it on my next body. Once again, a great paint job!
Another beautiful job, Chris!!! 👊👍👍
I've seen people use the Water Drop method, but have never tried it myself. That REALLY looks GOOD!!
