You do understand that all these trucks share virtually the same chassis, drivetrain, wheels & tyres, the only real difference is the body. So most upgrades are universal..

Take a lot of notice of Will’s advice, he has a lot of these trucks, he does 3D printed upgrades for larger dual motors, they are highly recommended ImageImage

I’m new. Can’t know that. Thank you sir.

But with an aerosol spray I can’t paint small details. That’s why I asked for airbrush or painting by hand.

I decide to buy an airbrush asis set for begnners from Revell or Vallejo. Which one is better? Do I have to prime the model again or can I spray directly on it?

Sascha, Any exposed metal on your Truck or Tank will need to be coated with Metal Etching Primer first or the paint will react to the metal.
I think I am about to upset someone :haha:

Okidoki Sir... Good to know. I understood. Now first I’m waiting for my truck and after that I’m starting with disassembling. Are there any waterproof motors as tuning parts for the Ural B36 available? The car should not be come over 6 km/h but the motor should have power for climbing, crossing mud and pulling.
