Oh brilliant thanks for that.. and I presume that's the dimensions.. most people get/use? Thanks for the reply :thumbsup:

ye thats a pretty standard size for a board you might want to pm him and ask for a 800 by 500 @4mm thick

Ok great thanks a lot! :)

depends on what size you want buddy and weather you want a polished and bevelled edge too all mine are polished and bevelled and back with a 3mm white sheet too ,,,

Yeah, Im not sure tbh.. was mainly to know where to source them from..tempted to get one.. but have enough.. pit mats and stuff..so its not really needed. May just wait, and maybe get one done by Kieth.. later on.. thanks for the help guys! appreciate it!:thumbsup:

so to invade on this thread,

but can you airbrush this?

also can this be used as a set up board for 1/8th nitro?

many thanks

Spray the bottom then cover.. in nitro blocker.. or a film or something.. I would say

yep thats right i use pve glue nice n thin and 3 coats same as the paint :thumbsup:

what sort of size board would be good for a 1/8 nitro buggy? 800x500mm seems abit big?

just had a measure of my losi 8ight and i think that 600x400mm seems big enough?

many thanks

ye that should be fine make sure its at least 4mm thick you want somthing that isnt going to flex you can always get a thinner sheet to back your paint with bit of plastic glue around the edges and a spot in the center should hold it :thumbsup:

cheers mate,

i thought of getting the 9.5mm thick stuff from the shop in the link but i might go down to 8mm thick.

i would like to have a go at trying to airbrush it myself. what sort of paint would i use?

many thanks

lewis

well i my self use a varied sort i use faskolour/createx (waterbased) and jon millers paints :thumbsup:
