Liquid mask is 'masking tape' that you paint on. It works well for fancy rc paint jobs.

Thread '“Ladies First!” Mrs. Littlemotor’s Tekno ET48 2.0 build!!'

Jul 5, 2024

This is another build I’m wrapping up for my girl this go ‘round.. It’s a Tekno ET48 2.0 I picked up used for a smokin’ deal that was fairly clean. It came with a Tekin T8 2050KV, and a Tekin digital servo to handle steering duties. The chassis barely had a scratch on it, and the guy MAYBE put a half hour on the thing..

I ALWAYS tear them down to every last fastener, and go through everything. Found a few things the previous owner f’d up on the build, and a couple other things that needed attention as well. I sold her bulletproofed Talion, and bought this as it makes more sense for us...

Which one? The parts cleaning brush? That is used to clean the dust out of the chassis. We don't do mud, like ever. At least not intentially.

The horse hair brushes are for applying liquid mask. As far as brushes go, the absolute best brush to use to apply an even coat is horse hair.

A mud hole can make you really happy. Just got to try it.

Yeah, been there. Done that. The inside was so caked you couldn't see the ESC or motor. They were buried in mud.

You know your just going to misplace half of these items and have to reorder them later.

Pondering about buying more ratchets for the collection lol. I love my roto heads, but I’d like a standard fixed head set too.

The voices in my head is telling me to go for it lol

Ok, truth time.
I wasn't actually PLANNING another Optima Mid build. I just got better at organizing all the things I've lost and found.
Turns out, I've done a LOT of double ordering!
