  • could you please specify how you made the mold that you were using.... i wanna make my own shells but need more specifics if that would be alright.... thanks

  • @Nitroazza Yep. I made my own former for 10 dollars using mostly things i had, except for a rubber seal so i bought a rubber sheet. All you need is an air chamber, a thick perforated board, a rubber seal, and two pieces of wood that can be clamped together. You can use a portable heater to heat the plastic

  • what is the mold made from?

  • @huntin4live yepp, thats exactly how rc bodyshells are made in factory fella..

    we pay £20 - £30 for something that costly like 2mins to make haha

  • any way i could make that vacuum table out of normally household items around the house?

    Ive got many fresh sheets of lexan, and with the amount of bodyshells i smash my way through in a year is mental.. Making them myself would be so much cheaper...

    cheers

  • where local store sells polystryrene or lexan in sheets?

  • @ yourwifelik3sithi cool vid, how did you make a precise mould, im wanting to do the same thing :D

  • Any more info on your heating process? temperature/ time? Did you have to "dry" your lexan first? Thanks

  • @RCairsoftmaster google sheet polystyrene

  • so is that in fact how they are made?
