Painting Tips:

Your RC10GT Kit comes with a clear polycarbonate body and wing. Prep the body and wing by washing the inside thoroughly with warm water and liquid detergent, then drying with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth. Use high-quality masking tape to mask windows and designs on the inside of the body (RC cars are painted from the inside). Spray RC-specific paint (rattle can or airbrush), preferably dark colors first, then lighter colors. Use ONLY paint recommended for polycarbonate plastics, as incorrect paint can damage the body. Wear a mask while painting.

After paint dries, cut the body and wing along trim lines. Drill or use a body reamer for body mount, wing mount, and antenna holes.

Description: Mount the painted body and wing using body mount washers and body clips (6332).
