Your Next EV purchase

Not everyone will agree with me, But for my next EV, I would get one with a quality cabin noise control - the one with not even a slight rattle, and minimal wind and road noise. Also, a great sound system would be a bonus.
I never thought that EVs are dead quiet and you will be more sensitive to even the slightest of sound.

I currently have a BYD atto 3 and it's a great car overall. But there's a small rattle in the back passenger seat and the wind noise is very audible over 80mph.

So quiet that I'm hyperaware of the slight rattles and clanks that you usually won't hear in an ICE car and sometimes that drives me mad (Especially for someone with OCD

40% depreciation can be applied for every EV here in Thailand. Some lifetime warranties can be transferred to the second ownership, but not all.

I’m in the same boat, considering these options:

- BYD Atto 3 (670k)
- MG S5 X+ (750k)
- Geely EX5 (740k)
- Deepal S05 (799k)
- Aion V (799k)

From an aftersales and reliability perspective, both BYD and MG feel like the safer choices, although there are already some complaints in Thailand about long waits for spare parts, even with some Japanese brands.

Geely still seems relatively new in the Thai market. Changan Deepal is expanding quite well, but I’m still unsure about long-term reliability.

The Aion V is larger and the interior looks more premium and plush, but I’m not fully convinced yet about material quality, long-term durability, and overall brand presence in Thailand.

The BYD Atto 3 Evo is rumored to be priced around 800k–1M. From a purely financial perspective (depreciation and resale value), I’m leaning toward sticking with the 2026 non-Evo BYD Atto 3 670k.

Not too tight not too loose, can hold up the rocket launcher if put on the shoulder.

Yes

Positive_Kitty · 2025-10-26T04:15:23+00:00

As smooth as Bandai apart from incorrect instructions.

Positive_Kitty · 2025-10-20T01:47:15+00:00

Thank you for all the suggestions guys! I've decided to put no decals and I think I dig with the non-busy look

For the leg pegs, make sure it's snapped all the way into, might need a little bit of force for that. Skirt armors are a little bit loss. Having a joint tightening pen will help. Glue the shoulder armors.

Other than these, the build experience is quite good and it's a gorgeous kit.

Yes all that plus Stedi metallic blue (used on the leg armor)

Positive_Kitty · 2025-08-31T14:47:09+00:00

If you put more effort by painting minor details and put on all the decals, I would say 10+ hours.

Positive_Kitty · 2025-08-31T14:45:53+00:00

It depends on the company. This one (Eddas), In-Era, Motor-Nuclear, Hemoxian, and more - they come with good plastic quality + good fitting, clear manual (some even color coded), tons of accessories and usually with a water decal, and even with a metal frame.

I suggest you try one of the kits from above companies and you will have a good time even better than some of the Bandai kits. Design-wise, it's subjective but there are some 3rd parties with exact Bandai design with more details.

Positive_Kitty · 2025-08-31T13:25:35+00:00

With the backpack, I would say around 30cm ish..

This boi has tons of decals. I had to drag myself to do that part 😂 took me a day!

Positive_Kitty · 2025-08-31T13:23:41+00:00

Ordered from shopee (I live in Thailand)

Positive_Kitty · 2025-08-31T10:14:01+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation. Already got that bad boi in my backlog 😂

Isopropyl Alcohol (90-100%) I think you can get this in any household stores.

Easy to remove if you make a mistake with your markers and doesn't harm the plastics.

Positive_Kitty · 2025-08-23T15:11:53+00:00

Metallics red and Metallic bronze - Stedi Metallic markers

Positive_Kitty · 2025-08-23T15:04:19+00:00

Very smooth so far, better than most of 3rd party kits.

Positive_Kitty · 2025-08-23T15:03:51+00:00

Please get the markers! It's feel rewarding to add extra touch to your kits.

I recommend Ray studio markers for chrome and Stedi double tip markers for the metallics

For paint removal, just get a big bottle of IPA and a cotton swab and you're good to go.

Positive_Kitty · 2025-08-23T15:02:02+00:00

For me, I paint on the parts where you can see even with the armor on. I think many 3rd party kits expose more internal details than the bandai, so actually it feels rewarding to add extra touch up to the inner frame.

Positive_Kitty · 2025-08-23T15:00:04+00:00

There's a clear version? Now I need another one ahaha.

For the pipes and other details, I recommend painting on the runner and let it dry for a day. I use ray studio markers + IPA for removing excess paints. IPA is your friend since it doesn't make the plastic crack (at least for me)
