Are you going to bling it? cant wait for this one!

 

Hmm.... Interesting idea!

 

Nice work, we need some before and after photos

Second step done. Its hard to spray because of the rough surface of the DX18. Did 10-15 thin layers of matt black for sure. But Im getting that lovely "Alcantara look" wich I expected.

I have to check if I can get some anodized switches to get a contrast and I would even know a dude who can change the background lights color of the display. Green would be unique. Real stealth. But this could end in a technical desaster very well.

That looks rad dude I can't wait to see it all back together. With some higher-res pics?

Hi there

As I have seen there is a DX18 stealth edition (all black) coming or allready out I decided to change the colour of mine again..

My custom biker friend had still a little bit of this deep bloody red. He painted a Harley Davidson in this colour. You can not see the visual effect on the pics. Its just awesome and darker then here. Depends on light. Cant wait to see it in the sun.

It was a lot of work but its worth 100% when I look at this beauty now.. I fell in love. Let me know how do you like it.

That looks awesome!

 

That is a thing of beauty,

I'm glad you changed the colour I too thought it was like copying the stealth version.

Nice work challenging but well worth it

 

Nice JOB !!!!

Youve motiviated me to take on something ive wanted to do for a long time. Saw this earlier this year but decided to get my charger case all done in carbon fibre wrap done first.

Thinking going the blue as can get the futaba blue thumb knobs to match (Which i've seen josh have on his 14sg).

 

Hi @gonehelimad

I like to motivate people. That TX looks nice as well. But you need some patience to get that stickers in position I think. Maybe painting is easyer. But you need to pick your baby apart..

 

So is that regular spray paint and primer? Or did you use the new "plastic bonding" paint?

 

Hi @Beaver

Its regular primer and a self mixed red paint. Primer is most important for plastic. My buddy sprayed it with the air brush gun.

Im at the field right now and have seen it in the sun now. There is much pearl effect in this paint. Just love it.

 

It's dark here at the moment, funny how the world spins causing some flying sites to be in the dark and the others in the day....Smak it up with your WOOT transmitter brother...
Simon

 

I agree.. w00t w00t!

 

It half past 11 am here. I almost crashed my 500.. LoL! Hit positive pitch instead of negative. But thanks to the sim I saved it.

 

Hey @iggy that is an AWESOME build on the transmitter. LOVE the color. It looks really cool!
