    Awesome! Thanks for the great styrene info! I do remember the push top pop cans, but only when we would spend time with my Aunt & Uncle in Dundas, ON. I don't remember seeing them state side.

    Nice - like those scale accessories. I just wish I could do finishing better. I made my Honcho (SCX10 II) a new bumper (home made - I didn't hand make it, I 3D printed it), and spent 10 hours trying to finish it (filled it with bondo, sanded it smooth, primered it (filler primer), sanded it, primered again, sanded it, primered it, sanded it, etc, etc... It turned out "okay"...Sort of - it looks's reasonable. But does not look like I spent that kind of time on it for sure. Fun, but also frustrating. Ah well, I'll just keep it it and hope one day I will get the hang of it. :-)

    • @667Gurba
      @667Gurba 5 лет назад

      Compared to the scale cars it's more hardcore. At least in this class. Not compared to the ones that look like 4 wheels and a motor obviously. If scale is more important the TRX-4 G wagon is closer to the real thing since the G500 4x4 squared is the only real car with straight axles and portals. That's my opinion at least. 🙂

    • @scalebuildersguild
      @scalebuildersguild  5 лет назад +2

      Which "scale cars" are you comparing it to? And the whole point is for me to try and make this "more scale" and still perform. You understand that, right?

    • @667Gurba
      @667Gurba 5 лет назад

      Any other TRX-4, Axial SCX10 2, Redcat Gen8 are cars with more attention to scale than the Sport. If Traxxas wanted the Sport to be scale they wouldn't give it that body. I get what you're doing since you're a scale builder though. 🙂
