Default decals

Hey guys i was wondering if there was a place i could find the stock volacano stx decals for new body or is this a custom paint thing, i am positive its stickers on mine though. I am actually a painter in my real job, so im planning on setting up a nicely painted body for my volcano, Mainly just concerned with the window stickers and those kinds of stuff.

No available. We have asked and nothing. Maybe you can go to the local hobby shop and get a set of 1/10 scale MT stickers. They usually come with window and everything.

I would not even bother with stickers, just paint it and leave it as that. It will have a much cleaner look!

Yes paint the underside of the clear body! Use a lexan paint, because it is made to be flexible. If you buy a clear redcat body it will come with some stickers or decals!

almost all bodies come with decals, not all redcat bodies come with decals, i got a hurricane clear body and it had no decals. Pactra is one of the biggest paint companies for rc bodies, you dont want to use a paint made for plastic or rc bodies since it will need to be able to stretch since the plastic bodies bend and you do paint the body on the inside, just make sure you wash it with some dishwashing liquid and let it dry first since oil will make the paint peel and show up on the body since your sealing it in from the inside.

Well thats not good if a company sends out a body and no decals! I guess i figured it would since all other manufactures clear bodies come with them.[]

all the other redcat bodies i have gotten came with the decals but they were the painted ones, maybe the clear ones dont come with the decals, i just wanted to give some input so people would know, i dont think a company could be considered "NOT GOOD" because they sell bodies without decals, alot of companies do not include stickers with their clear bodies.

See now you are blowing smoke!! I never said the company was not good, i said that it is not good that they do not send decals with the bodies! I am not sure where you have bought bodies from, but everyone i have purchased (20 total) has come with decals or some sort of stickers. Here is a quote from you about bodies "almost all bodies come with decals, not all redcat bodies come with decals". Then you mention "alot of companies do not include stickers with their clear bodies".

I have not bought a redcat body to confirm if or what they come with. I am not trying to start anything, just stating some facts!

thats why i used the word almost, not meaning all. I have bought countless bodies over the last 25 years of being in the hobby and some have not came with decals or stickers. I am not blowing smoke, just saying stickers or decals dont make something not good.
