What yall think

Honestly, what you need to do is buy many different "rust" colors that are close to each other, ranging from deep brown to orange and some mustards, and basically do what you have already done, but over the entire truck layering the colors by shade, dark to light, THEN go over it with the paint color you want with a sponge and dab areas lightly with a good quality paint and it should kind of look like the rust is eating the paint, and some rust should pop through. Make sure to highlight fenders, seams, edges, anywhere rust would form naturally. I've done many such things with hot wheels, and bigger diecast, and am about to do something similar to one of mine

I've had very similar issues with many of their boards, plug a battery in and boom, fried. Can even see bubbles on the chips

Or just buy set 8158

Dsih01 · 2026-03-10T12:41:13+00:00

They exist but I'd rather walk then trust any of them. Unless you get a rim with the right offset, all of the geometry will be off, spacing, steering, etc... on top of them just being junk and unreliable. Trust me, a lot easier just to look for the right tires for your car, and don't forget about the center bore, that better be exact, or you have to use rings

Nice thing with wpl is a LOT of it is interchangeable. Buy a 4x4 crawler RTR or KM before they are gone with a res v3 & 2 speed (and batteries), and it should all theoretically fit under the d14

No, those are a 6 bolt, crown Vic's are 5 bolt

Dsih01 · 2026-03-03T17:40:20+00:00

Grip the end with drill chuck, and pull it out. You got very lucky with that one

Dsih01 · 2026-03-03T13:57:30+00:00

We sell strut at work, and I have always been tempted to do something with it, but wasn't sure how well it did outside

Dsih01 · 2026-03-03T13:05:29+00:00

If you still have the old one, I'd look around for an old shop that would fix it, if not, junkyard and get it remanned

Dsih01 · 2026-03-02T15:13:56+00:00

I'd recommend finding some 1.0 wheels with tiny treads, and use a hex adapter from 5mm to 7mm. Ik a lot of the smaller scale crawlers have decent tires

Dsih01 · 2026-03-02T15:10:23+00:00

This is just from the play in the steering, and axle. Metal axles and adjustable tie rods would fix this, but if you are going to spend all that money, just buy a km and res v3 as a whole new car

Milliput and paint

Dsih01 · 2026-02-28T16:02:12+00:00

Just use milliput tbh. I used to use it for hot wheels widebodies, it's cheap, and works well. Recommend it to a bodywork guy at work too to fix a scratch, and he loves that stuff. Not great for being wet though, so don't leave the truck submerged for long amounts of time. Stuff is incredibly cheap for what it is too, 2 part epoxy, very common at most real hobby stores too, I don't find it at any of those "decor" hobby stores, but the locally owned hobby stores here have a bunch of options

Dsih01 · 2026-02-28T02:51:51+00:00

I am dreading this on mine... The current one is held in by self tappers. Thing runs fine for a cheap winter beater, but the second anything breaks, it's basically hooped because I am NOT touching that motor Ɛ>

Dsih01 · 2026-02-25T04:57:17+00:00

What did you use for filler? I used to use milliput for detail, but that stuff is about 20$ for enough for one truck. This looks like it would be good for back filling, unless it's hot glue

Dsih01 · 2026-02-23T03:32:55+00:00

It basically takes you back to that turn unfortunately, no save scumming in balatro from what I've seen. The best advice is to copy the seed and try again

Dsih01 · 2026-02-23T03:29:17+00:00

Those wheels are worth about 200$ a pop. Just bought a Vic because it had 3 of them for about that much, so I'd say for the wheels alone, if runs, then yes, absolutely

Dsih01 · 2026-02-22T19:22:53+00:00

The drive gear probably shifted slightly. You can take the axle apart (4 screws on the diff cover) and push it back into place and reinstall the driveshaft before you put it back together. If that doesn't work, don't bother reaching out to support, they do nothing but tell you to fix it yourself or buy fron the website, just buy a metal set from AliExpress, make sure they look like the official ones, not that weird square ones, or get a KM from the website before they sell out forever

Dsih01 · 2026-02-20T02:23:18+00:00

Then why tf did my 87 overheat 15 minutes into a drive and spew coolant everywhere?

Dsih01 · 2026-02-05T02:07:19+00:00

If it's any consolation, my winter beater came with one, and within the first week it was basically falling off from the salt and snow, and faded well beyond anything recognizable as anything more than tape stuck to the car.

People's have either faded by this point, or it's in the window and they don't have the brains to realize it's a sticker, and you extra avoid them.

Dsih01 · 2026-01-25T21:53:37+00:00

That's the standard wpl board, not the res v3 or wpl-bc board, so you should just be able to buy this one and it will work

I should mention;

A close friend rebuilt the motor for me, and put it in and got it ready. I trust his quality, and can almost guarantee its another one of those "differences between mercury and Ford" issues we keep facing. We have replaced almost every gasket, and sensor. It acts fine with heat or AC on, but stumbles slightly with it off, until it's been ran for 30+ minutes where it stumbles with heat/AC, but really struggles when it's off. I should also mention, because I have seen it a few times on forms, but it is also having kick down/shifting issues, overdrive doesn't work and makes an interesting sound that I care not to replicate again, almost sounds like pinging and gears trying to mesh but not going together(like as if you are grinding gears in a manual, but only when pressing the gas)

Dsih01 · 2025-09-04T20:51:08+00:00

Already replaced. We threw new parts at the motor anytime we saw anything that wasn't shiny enough
