After 2 years ive managed to source a couple of blue 1/43 evo x's so getting them done up like my mate x race car but trying to find some where decent to get decals done. Did speak to red firecracker on here but he doesnt do them anymore but has gave alot of advice.Also if anyone knows if you can get white 5 spokes that would be good too!




Would also be getting the old evo 7 1/18 redecaled as they are starting to peel and fade now



I was thinking maybe even asking someone that vinyls full size cars but may be able to scale it down as i have vinyl marlboro decals on my VK holden and thats been perfect.

I'd just contact local signwriters, you need someone with a good quality plotter and some experience.

I've used crafty computer paper products before on RC cars but the results are a bit hit-and-miss, and it takes a while to get it right.

i was starting to think it would be best speaking to the guys that did the liverys on the cars as they would still have the original files and scale them down.

TBH those liveries are both very simple so there's no real need for the original files.

Get yourself some waterslide decal paper off Ebay & knock them up yourself (or use a friend with a printer). You could pretty much just print out an entire sheet in the right colour and then cut the design out of that rather than trying to scale and print off the actual design itself IYSWIM.
