In this thrilling episode of Scale Builder's Guild, we dive headfirst into the world of custom-painted Drift bodies and heavy-duty magnets. The team showcases a stunning Supra body mounted on a rotating display, proving that innovation knows no bounds in the RC world. With upgrades to the RDX RevD RDX chassis, including carbon fiber enhancements from Strictly Sideways, they're on a mission for peak performance. Plans for a new gyro and servo, along with a desire to equip a Futaba 10PX, promise to elevate their setup to new heights of excellence. It's a symphony of precision and power, a ballet of technology and craftsmanship.
But wait, there's more! The team unveils a tantalizing glimpse into the realm of paint wizardry with the introduction of Gallery's ColorWorks Kido and a revolutionary airbrush design. The promise of rapid air technology and precise molecular orientation tantalizes the senses, hinting at a future of flawless finishes and seamless applications. Metallics, twilight purple, the possibilities are endless, and the team's excitement is palpable. The air is charged with anticipation as they prepare to unleash these new tools upon their creations, ready to push the boundaries of what's possible in the RC painting universe.
And just when you thought the excitement couldn't reach greater heights, a project of monumental proportions emerges from the shadows. A 3D printable skid steer, inspired by the legendary Bobcat, promises to revolutionize the very concept of DIY RC construction. With PETG and TPU materials at their disposal, the team embarks on a journey of innovation and challenge, fueled by the spirit of creation. Sponsored by Imagine, this endeavor invites viewers to join in the adventure, promising a series of construction-themed challenges and a showcase of ingenuity like never before. The stage is set, the stakes are high, and the thrill of creation beckons.
But the excitement doesn't stop there. A new addition to the team's arsenal, the Mara Carva Air home CNC machine, opens up a world of possibilities in machining and design. With the ability to cut through aluminum, brass, and even carbon fiber sheets, this machine represents a new frontier in RC customization. The team's foray into machine work yields a stunning bead lock, a testament to their skills and determination. As they prepare to unleash a standalone review video, the anticipation is palpable, and the future shines bright with promise. Stay tuned for more exhilarating updates from the Scale Builder's Guild, where innovation and creativity reign supreme.
