The collaboration with HPI Racing is what introduced RC Drift to Mr. Robert. Since its introduction he has started creating his own designs for 1/10 scale RC drift cars. Starting small by creating liveries for the local French RC Drift community. It later led to success in creating liveries for many automotive tuners with several 1:1 demo car projects. Currently the liveries for FT District drift team in the French drift series is based on Sha_Do theme called “HYOU”. Chances are you have seen Sha_Do Graphics works before and not known it. Their real passion of Sha_Do Graphics lies in creating unique liveries for automobiles. We recently spoke with Mr. Robert who said “Artistically, there is nothing better than being able to create what we love. It brings personal satisfaction that every step from designing to manufacturing is done in-house by Sha_Do Graphics”.
Sha_Do Graphics started by printing stickers for the local French RC Drift community. They started with a numerical HD pro printer, which allowed printing on white vinyl without kiss cut edges. It first started out with small production runs to satisfy local RC Drifters demands. The emphasis was on product quality rather than quantity. The success in these small decal productions later led to new print technology. The new printing method can now produce higher quality graphics with stronger printer surface. This means that it is better resistant to friction and even RC nitro fuel spray. Which means these vinyls can be adapted to many other forms in the radio control hobby, on-road or offroad, even helicopters, boats and planes, the possibilities are endless.
Sha_Do Graphics has shown that they are here to stay. Their presence is known in the the RC Drift or automotive tuner industry. They have the credentials and experience to back up their work. There are even future plans of creating very exclusive liveries for limited vinyl production. Check out Sha_Do Graphics latest product catalogue to see what they have to offer.
