Thank you for watching this video! We are having a big push trying to get the subs up for the channel, please consider liking and subscribing and I am sure I will see you on another video!!👍👍❤✔
WOW I got me a stalker coooooool 👍👍👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I never would have thought to try this.... I really want to try it and also want to never do this both at the same time!!! Glitter is just evil and never ever leaves! It does look really, really cool though! Thank you to the Chief Engineer for taking one for the entire RC community with this one!!!! He will be forever glittery!
Yes I must say I thought it wouldn’t work, but the ideal part is that I haven’t had to clean any glitter, as it’s all in his workshop 😆😂👍
Thank you I enjoyed doing this and it turned out better than expected, the glue worked well and with the lacquer the shell is solid. It will be a while till I use glitter again though 😂
Done this with clear lacquer with glitter back in the late 90's early 00's 👍👍👍👍👍
Clear lacquer would work well if we did it again I think building layers with glitter and lacquer would give it depth 👍
Great painting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😀👍👍
Well crafting 😆😂👍
Next time, spray a medium to thick coat of clear lacquer on it, put the glitter in your hands and blow it at the body. I use it on guitars. You can do as many coats as needed. Then a few more coats of clear over it and you’ll have a deep bass boat flake finish that’s smooth
That’s a bloomin great idea. Top tip thank you 👍
Fair play mate, didn’t think it was going to look that good, but it looks sick!!
It did look great, but it was not hard wearing at all, I think a couple of coats of lacquer should have been used, but that might have flattened the glitter 🤔👍
Ha ha, texture actually looked good bombing about. The camera doesn't know what to do with all that bling. Keep up the fun 👍🏼
It looks a beaut in the daylight, maybe we will have to send it on a tour 😉☀️😂
Absolutely killer! But now I don’t know wether to save for a lunchbox or invest in drool towels.
🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Sounds like a combo deal is on the horizon 😆😂👍
Wow 🤩 that came out really good 👍 great job thumbs up 👍 🛎🛎🛎
It does seem to have captured the sparklyness. Thank you for watching it is really appreciated 👍
Outstanding!
It is pretty fetching looking 👍
The next day your eating dinner with a spoon and glitter on it , after watching the mod’s I want to mod mine and the Gary glitter job very good ,something different 🤩👊🏻👍🏻
Yes as I said in the video, I have a similar amount of mods I am about to fit to mine, but I’m not going for a textured look 😆😂👍
@@RCsoandso I made a strut brace for mine, go brushless even more fun and longer drive time 👊🏻👍🏻
Wow! That is a great idea although I had doubts when the Chief Engineer was painting the glue on the body! Touch up jobs after rolls should be easy too! I can see Mini OAG wanting to do this with her Lunchbox now! Only problem with glitter is it never seems to leave…. Awesome video chaps 🙌🏻👍🏻
I was very sceptical I have to admit but I think he did a cracking job 👍
Great Video. Good idea for the Lunchbox body👍
It does seem to look great, perfect for experimental designs 😀👍
Thank you 😊
Crary idea, but I like it 😃It seems to perfom really good with all the upgrades.
It’s bombproof, well nearly. It does preform very well, and it’s sparkly 😆😂👍
Man I would have never thought of that but damn did it come out great!
I am as surprised as anyone it worked out 😆😂👍
It came out really well! Not nearly as "glittery" as I thought it would be, more like a carbon, charcoal kind of look, with a sparkle of course! Loving the red stickers on the tyres, too, nice touch! The blue steering rods were very noticable, ha ha, but not when it was out for the run, so let's just forget about those... I see you got plenty Lunchbox vids, I think I watch one more!
I would say a more corse glitter was needed to hit the light and be all sparkly and stuff. Interesting fact, this LB has been stripped again, and is no longer glittery so we have plenary more Lunchbox videos for the future 😆😂👍
Great colour and hop-up concept. And this glitter thing's a great idea, must try it sometime. 👍 The LB looks🤩🤩🤩.
It really pops in the light well, I’d say it certainly is one to think about 🤔😆👍
Wow has anyone ever told you your daughter is the double of the late Great Freddy Mercury. 🤣🤣😂
On reflection I did think the jump cut to the Cheif Engineer as Freddy was a little too keen, I can say his daughter does not look like Freddy Mercury, I don’t think she would suit a moustache 🥸😂👍
Vanessa's Lunchbox, Stripper Edition
Feel free to stuff some money in a shock tower 😉😂👍
@@RCsoandso 😄🤣 💰
Stripper Edition, TOO Fu@king Funny!!!!!! Love It!!!
Nothing wrong with bling & it looks really good! Although probably taking too much effort for a body that may get scratched, I bet you could do some really nice effects with nail powder that you rub onto colour base coat before clear lacquering...with paint of course rather than nail polish 💅
Imagine how many of those little bottles of nail polish you would need for something of this size, but it would make it tough, that’s why it was good to use with conkers! But yes it has turned out looking tip top 👍😆💅
I’ll have to get to super drug and top up my supply
Hi guys, great job the Chief executed on his Lunchbox shell 👍
I opted for a different version of this glitter job. I painted my Mad Bull shell in Red Hammerite paint and then sprinkled the glitter on top. Just as messy but it looks fanbloodytastic in the light 👍
A job well done 😎
Glitter looks good on them when the light hits them. I think sequins and rhinestones might be a step too far though 😂😉 Thanks for stopping by 👍
@@RCsoandso You'd have to use copious amounts of glue for one of those builds 🤔
Let me check out my spares corner and I'll get back to you 👍
GFJ!!!! I never seen a body done like that before, at least I don't remember. Love how it came out, Chassis looks tits too. AWESOME Video Guys!!!!
It definitely isn’t a shrinking violet 😂😆👍
Nice
I wish the camera was able to show full extent of the glitter, especially in the light ☀️👍
I love Metal flakes or Glitter, i usually paint Bike parts with it.
I take the paint that i want it to have, black in your case,
-paint it
-take your metal flakes or glitter and pour it over the wet paint
-you need a spraycan clear coat now ca.500ml or more
-add clearcoat layer, after ca. 3min the next layer and so on until you have a plane look (it will take time and many many layers)
Drytime in the summer ca 3days under 15°C ca. 4 to 5days
I promise you it will look awesome like from a paint shop
Wow I’d imagine that would have a real deep shine to it and look really good, and would give it depth. In honesty this didn’t really pop in the way we thought, method and glitter might not have been the best for the job. If we were to do it again I’d really try the method you mentioned as that seems to be a winner, I’d also use a slightly larger flake, and maybe not black 😆🤔👍
Not finished watching yet but glitter stripes could be the new big thing in RC.
Go faster glitter 😂😁👍
Very 70's disco ball like...I love it. Fun idea...any improvement with the shocks? Mine still has friction dampers.
I have oil shocks on mine and it does seem to run so much better, the transmission brace seems to be the upgrade with biggest impact 👍
@@RCsoandso I have the transmission brace on mine, huge improvement. Another fun video, even though I despise working with glitter.
@@eekrc I don’t really like working with glitter or the tidy up, that’s why I’m glad it was the Cheif Engineers project, my hour is still glitter free 😆😂👍
That's great! Whole idea of RC is do it your way. Curious what batteries you are running in your Lunchboxes? Cheers
We just run Nimh batteries, I think using Lipo for what we do is a bit of a waste 👍
@@RCsoandso Thank you for getting back! I just picked up a Lunchy, was the dream machine of my youth, looks like you are getting good speed and performance from the NIMH, good enough for my reflexes, lol. Cheers
@@Callahangonefishin best advise is if you can change to a Torque Tuned motor you will see the difference and also look for a 3D printer chassis brace, it hands so much better 👍
@@RCsoandso Thank you Sir! I saw that was the motor you are running. I've got the shapeways transmission brace and chassis brace in the cart. Just ordered bearings and cva shocks, will be waiting on the post and can't wait to start building. Cheers
I just purchased the lunch box and was wondering if you have a list of all the parts and where to purchase. Thank you
A lot of these i think are from RCJaz, they are great for aluminium upgrades, and Shapeways is good for the chassis mod 👍
How does it run/feel compared to your other lunchboxes with those aluminium parts?
I have a work in progress SW-01 mini lunch box which I’ve gone overboard with hop ups on…. Yeah racing makes some good pieces for the SW01 like wheelie bar, but Hot Racing make some really good chassis pieces. I accidentally broke my plastic chassis whilst building it so instead of getting a replacement Tamiya parts tree with the same weakness (ok it was a fair bit of user error) I decided I’d get some Hot racing chassis pieces. Unfortunately Hot racing pieces can’t be sent to Australia so I had my first remailer experience to get them sent over.
Its possible by using a few generic pieces to make an entirely metal SW01 👀 if that’s your thing. I’ve upgraded the motor to accomodate for the extra weight.
I was looking at a metal chassis for the lunchbox you can get, it could be overkill but it would make it battle proof. The upgrades give it a tighter feeling, as well as more confidence. I’d always try having a weak point so if something would break it would be a cheaper part with luck. Importing is touch and go, I got stung from something I ordered from Euro RC with import duty, which meant it cost more than if I bought it in the UK so I will not be using them again 👍
I can imagine this being filmed in VHS. Be nice as it scrolls into an episode of Duty Free for 3 seconds. Again beautifully depressing. I am home!
Well this weeks video is out in 15 mins. Hope you enjoy that also!
Can you link to where to get the parts? Are these from China site or somewhere else?
I got my parts (which are similar to the ones here) from RC Mart. If you look for Jaz Rider or GPM parts you should be good. Yes they come from around China, postage is a bit of a pain so I tend to order a few things at once, but they go turn up quick 👍
Sorry missed you on Tuesday, I know it will be late for to join us tonight on the video panel but I wish you stop by so I can meet you.
International time zones can be a pain 🕣🕚🕙
@@RCsoandso I know is it possible?
Oh wow I'm pretty sure I've never seen anyone do that before! Looks great in a 70s disco sort of way. Does the glitter fall off when it rolls over? I guess that because you based it on a black shell you won't notice too much. Anyway I probably won't try that with a body shell but those alu upgrades looks great and actually practical for extra strength. Great stuff guys. Is the Lunchbox called Gary?
I think with the amount of top coat the Cheif Engineer added it’s almost welded on! I have some similar upgrades for my lunchbox but I’ve not gone for a shiny red look. I think it’s a solid member of the glitter band ✨👍
@@RCsoandso ooh don't talk about Glitter and solid member in the same sentence 😮
…or sentence 😂
@@RCsoandso 😂
✌🏻😎🏴Nice one CE 👍🏻. & don’t I win something for being your 1000th viewer on this video? 😂 I want some glitter 😂.
If you would like some glitter you can have some glitter, and a couple of stickers…. it can be arranged 👍
Oh my that glitters gonna be in cracks and crevices everywhere 🤣
Yes I think you will be able to tell where we have been from the twinkly trail that’s left 😂👍
I’m still finding it 😂
I really dislike glitter and people who put it in birthday cards..but I'm going to do a gold one I think 😁
I think gold would work really well, it should catch the sun while running about and look like Columbia from Rocky Horror 😆😂👍
@@RCsoandso Just googled Columbia as haven't seen RHPS...Not the image I envision for the box 🤣 Then I thought of Goldust from WWE.... Maybe I'll leave it 🤔
@@Tony74Jones Golddust was a very unusual wrestler, not as old skool as his dad was. I’m sure whatever you do will look great, that’s the good thing about them, you have a blank canvas 👍
Rinestone cowboy. Lol
Maybe it could do with some 😂👍
It will eventually drop all the glitter during usage.
I’m not sure, apparently it has been lacquered within an inch of its life 😂😆😂
Or you can get a can of Tamiya “Lame Flake”
Is that not more designed for Polycarbonate shells? Does it clog the nozzle, as I’ve heard it can cause issues like that 🤔👍
Ah! Glitter! The sexually transmitted disease of the handicraft world. Once you have had a touch everyone has got it. Nice job though!
That’s right, constantly seeing the odd glimmer when you walk passed a mirror 😆😂
Big mess.
In general or the process 😆😳
@@RCsoandso both.
