Filling in the blanks!
Im in the midst of getting my X-5² sorted, I assume people are using resin to fill in the cell slots if there running LiPo stickpack on the battery side aswell as the electronics side too?
Does double sided tape stick well to a dried resin serface too if i were to fill in the speed controller side too? Also what are people using to keep in place under the chasis during this to stop the wet smelly gunk falling through the chasis too? Thanks a bunch!

Hey
When filling the slots on my car I stuck some gaffer tape on the underside of the chassis slots and jus peeled it off when it was all dry. I used double sided no more nails tape with out any issues Jono

Cool, Sounds good Jono.
Did it leave a nice neat fush finish or did it take any of the gaffer tape with it? Id also like to have it so its black too, i guess i could paint over it so it looks a little neater, Or maybe adding black dye to the resin mix?.. Got any ideas on that side of things?

What you could do is grind up an old wishbone or summat and mix the dust in with resin you would have a pretty close colour match then. What I also did was where you can see the tape through the top of the chassis was smear a tiny bit of lube to act as a release agent this way the tape doesn't pull any of the resin off and gives you a nice flush finish.
