Hi everyone, I’m new here and also new to building RC nitro kits, I started to build the Huracan about just over a year ago and stopped after Pack 6 because of financial issues. I’ve since now got the complete kit and just wondering if anyone might help me out a bit.
First of all, I wanted to repaint the Huracan as I’m not happy with the present colour and been searching online for removing and repainting it and found it’s hard to remove the paint so I’ve decided to see if I can repaint it on the outside. I’ve bought tamiyas PS rattle can and wanted to know is it safe to paint it on the outside without it losing any paint off it when I get going.
The other thing I wanted to find out about the RC receiver. I’m a bit confused as to the specs and size that I should go for and wanted to know the best and if possible the cheapest that I can buy, I live in London and hopefully someone can help me out here. I noticed model space got a battery pack with the charger, I wanted to know how long the battery lasts for on a full charge. I appreciate someone’s time and effort in helping me out here. Thanks in advance.

Hi Imram,

Welcome to the forum.

There are lots of theories to remove paint from a Lexan body shell. Check out this link below:

Note: One thing you must be aware of, is that if you try to do this by any method and it all goes wrong, then Deag/Modelspace cannot be held responsible for the outcome.

Your other questions, unfortunately I can`t help with as I`ve not built this kit.

One day, maybe.

Hi Imran,

I`ve been doing some digging and asking some questions relative to your enquiries.

The battery should last for several tanks of fuel as it is only running the servo`s.

The official battery and charger are available in the following link:

Now the receiver is a little more tricky as I thought it was supplied with the kit.

As it appears (from what I have been told) that is not the case, then this is the info I have sourced.

You need a 2 channel/2.4GHZ receiver. I have been told that the modern receivers are smaller than the ones available when this kit was produced so fitting should not be an issue. You may wish to buy a stick control transmitter with a receiver if that is your preference or stick with the wheel control supplied. The cost of which is obviously controlled by your available budget.


I hope this helps answer some of your questions.
