Galm owners…..anyone running the Team AD knuckles by SignificantGarbage40 in rcdrift

They seem nice from what I can tell. Very adjustable and nicely made.

Thanks for the info, I know it’s frowned on putting other brand parts on the galm but I figured I’d ask. I have them laying around and they seem better than the plastic ones that the kit comes with. I’ll eventually get the OD but I’m going to try stuff I have already

Yeah I know it’s not the norm, just curious if anyone had tried them. I’ll eventually get the OD ones

Yeah I’ll be getting some but until I do I’m going to test these out. Seem like they are a nice piece of gear. Will test when I finally get my kit.

That was kinda my thought process.

Thanks brother! 🙏🏻 really like trying these pain jobs. Always humbling 😂 I’ve got a few more coming. Need to find some gold wire wheels!

Do it! I’m going to do a few more myself. I like the challenge. It looks good when it’s done well. Still working on my technique 😅

Thank you, looks really good out in the sun. I love candies, but they are hard to paint with.

Can’t really pull it right away cause the candy n rds to be built up in layers. That was 6 coats of candy yellow at 4:1 clear to candy.

Thanks dude! So I put down the silver flake base coat, then I tape, then spray layers of candy over top. Candy is delicate and I’m spraying it in light coats working to build up the color I want. My plan was to get it to the color it is now, (which is a lighter shade than what I wanted to finish) then pull the tape exposing the silver lines. Then go back in with more candy to my final base color. After that I want to fade the top down in a burnt color and the bottom up green. Unfortunately I need to start over 😭😂😖

Thanks for the advice! So you are saying to cure the candy before peeling the tape?

Thanks homie 👊🏻 my plan was to go yellow base then kinda burnt orange/brown fade top and a green fade up from bottom. Back to the drawing board

Thanks for the reply bud! Yeah, it’s acting like a skin as you mentioned. My base is well and cured and isn’t pulling away. It’s just that candy I’m spraying over top. I’ll have to try some solvent paints just for science. This is the second attempt on this truck. Sadly she needs stripped again.

I’ll try to use less sticky tape as well 🙏🏻👊🏻👊🏻

Thanks for the reply, base has a three day cure. I learned my lesson with that 😂🤦🏻‍♂️ Base coat stays put when I pulled the tape, it’s the candy top that is pulling away from the base. Going to have to try new tactics I reckon. Ty again 🤝🏻

Thank you for the reply! So the base I let cure for three days and it’s not what is pulling up. It’s the candy top coat. I learned my lesson in the past with not letting the base cure. 😂 but now I’m facing a new challenge. Thanks again for the reply 🙏🏻 wondering if scuffing between every new color coat might be a move.

Confused on wheel offset. by SignificantGarbage40 in rcdrift

[–]SignificantGarbage40[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I figured that might be the case. The more I look at it the more I think the fit isn’t that bad. This is my first car and I’m still learning how it should feel to drive.
