If you're interested in the Redcat Gen8 decal set, I have a limited amount for sale on my Etsy: www.etsy.com/listing/1365492451/vinyl-graphic-gen-8-v2-scout-body

@graymatter45 3 роки тому

I just got a cricut , just started playing around with it. The possibilities within the RC hobby are endless . I would be interested in seeing a video on making the stickers, thanks for your videos.

@ivorpeachey4366 8 місяців тому

This is the best video I’ve seen . All I want to do is make bike decals. All other videos are for learning everything at once

Literally was just in the shop thinking “ for my paint scheme I will need to make stencils out sticker sheets” hop on UKposts and walla. When your subscriptions are Top Quality Thanks Mrs. RC 👩

Tamiya makes full sheets of "masking tape".. I've found that they work GREAT for doing just that. They come in a pack of 5 for 7 or 8 bucks, and measure around 9.5" x 7" a piece. Cut 'em by hand, or on a "plotter" like in the vid. Hope it helps ;)

You are good at this! Silhouette should pay you to use your tutorial video in addition to their manual, your tutorial is much better. And your vinyl decals on the car make the car look so good, I will not be surprised if a RC-car company hire you to make decals for their cars! Looking forward to your next video! Cheers.

I bought my cameo 4 when it first came out and I ended up watching a video by someone who added a ton of steps which kept making it catch/ producing bad prints and I was turned off by how tedious I thought the process was. I finally have it up and running though, Thank you for this! Also that's a cool hobby, never thought of RC decals being a thing!

@6oh8rc48 Рік тому

Great vid!!! I'm a tech teacher at a middle school where my students make decals, street signs, and t shirts using a Roland cutter. They love it! I use it to make how to videos for them, but ironically make the graphics to fit on my rigs. Would love to see a printer/cutter to make multicolor decals/stickers.

@6oh8rc48 Рік тому

And since you lost the G, I'll take the RC IRL mistake!!😉

You can do different colors, just use different colored vinyl and layer it

@Chilliwacka 2 роки тому

Great video as usual, where can i get the mountain silhouette vector graphics?

@jimmylarsen6338 10 місяців тому

Hi very cool video - I didn't even know you could buy such a cool machine. I'm into Mini-Z RC and as you properly know the body's of the cars is pretty small. I've been searching ALOT for all the sponser and logo decals that's typically on for example LeMans cars that I could buy. But know I can make them myself with this. But before I start buying anything I was wondering what your experience is with the thickness of the paper you print the stickers on. I'm asking because Mini-Z car bodys need to be painted and have the stickers applied on the outside of the car, and if the sticker paper is too thick, it's not going to look great on the body's for such small RC body's.. Could you share your experience and tips on that? Thanks again for the cool and informative videos

@eckos2310 2 роки тому

@albertoestrella5098 2 роки тому

Hello ' Great job but I have only one question can I make my own decals , Using this silhouette cameo 4 You know using The water slide decal white or clear decal paper size for scale models like 1/72 scale or what is the best silhouette cameo 4 machine to use please let me know trying to find out which one to buy for making my own water slide decals white or clear paper sheets

@Musicalpa 3 роки тому

Have you heard any buzz about a soon coming Axe Edition V2 of the Redcat Racing Gen 8 Axe Edition? I called them yesterday and inquired about why nobody appears to have any Gen 8 Axe Edition kits. They informed me I can get one from them. When I asked if they're working on a new model of the axe edition, he expressed he can't say yes or no, but he also hinted I may want to wait a little because their might be a V2 coming soon with huge improvements. I tried really hard to get more information on it, but he was only allowed to hunt to the strong possibility of it coming very soon, leaving off by saying to me the Axe Edition is a great RC truck I'll be very happy with, but also stating I'd be very happy with either truck (either being the Axe V1 or the Axe V2). I'm dying to know more. BTW, I also asked if said vehicle was about to be released, would it be more expensive or the same price as the current Axe Edition, and the answer was "The same price".

@woppaenginerring 3 роки тому

I have a vinyl cutter however I feel artistically challenged when it comes to designing things to cut. Basic words no probs but trying to draw that mountain Silhouette looks interesting. How do you do it? Software etc?

@jonathanockwell7677 2 роки тому

Great video. I had tried playing with the software before and got frustrated. This helped a ton! How easy do you find it to find graphics you like and if needed go about buying the rights to use them?

@RCGirl 2 роки тому

Thanks! I usually search Etsy or design bundles website for .svg vector graphics. Pretty easy to find stuff. Lots of other sites as well

@jlgibson1983 3 роки тому

I do have a preference question, I commented on a previous video about me making a decision on which trx4 chassis I'd purchase, but it seems the scout gen8 v2 is making a statement. Which would you choose over the other and why, and some plus and minus in your opinion. Love the detail in your videos btw!

@RCGirl 3 роки тому

If budget is a consideration I'd get this one for sure. I'm really happy with my Gen8. But with the TRX-4 platform you can pick which diffs you want locked/unlocked, which is nice. It feels like higher quality plastics as well, with a decent amount of body options. I think you'd be happy with either.

@Just4FunRC 3 роки тому

was looking into this for stickers and small vinyl. Cricut had alot of returns latley dunno why. Can i laser print my motive then cut it aswell, few mm out from the edges?

@cdgarrett1 2 роки тому

I need graphics for my plastic Ascend D10 kayak. I haven’t been able to find someone to do it and thought maybe I could do it myself if I learn how and the equipment isn’t too expensive. You look and act very familiar. Do you have a brother who also does UKposts videos?

@JudeSturman 3 роки тому

Did you cutout the stickers with pictures on the silhouette too? How did you determine the exact sizing to fit your truck? Seems very involved!

@RCGirl 3 роки тому

Yep I cut the stickers with the silloutte too using the print and cut feature. You print a design through the software on an inkjet printer and it prints markings so that your machine knows where to cut out around the design. For sizing, I just measured the body panels using calipers and made the vinyl pattern a bit bigger than needed. I just trim any overhang with a hobby knife. Hope that helps!

@JudeSturman 3 роки тому

@@RCGirl Cool, I didn't see a way for the machine to tell where your graphics were for cutting. Super helpful!

@BenchRacerRC 2 роки тому

the test cut is supposed to remove the square and leave the triangle

@mordantly Рік тому

Have you run other materials with this model cameo?

@RCGirl Рік тому

Just vinyl and craft paper. I know it can also etch on plastic and cut balsa and felt with different blades, as well as do intricate designs with pens, but I haven't tried that yet.
