I Build a Crazy Custom RC Car - DHK Zombie conversion

#rc #bash #makerscentral
A little bit different to my usual stuff, in this video I make a new custom car body from scratch. I am making a completely new body for a DHK Zombie 1/8 scale monster truck.
To see an original DHK Zombie in action, do a search on YouTube, there are lots of videos on there.
Makers Central is going to be a massive show for makers of all types from around the globe. it will be on the 11th and 12th May 2019at the NEC Birmingham UK
The epoxy resin I used for gluing the car together was West Systems G5
Milliput is an epoxy putty
The fibreglass cloth used was 25g
The sander I was using is the Merlin 2 from King Arthur’s Tools

Jim I am really enjoying this car top you made it is awesome. The man you made looks like a real roughneck guy, I don't want to be in his path when he gets angry at a person.🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
