Same here. My first hobby grade car was a Bandido, which is from the same family. When I get time, I've got a new TBG body and MCI decals for it.

Cox Bandido?

Yes.

This is what I use.

Oddly enough, the only MSC that I have is in my Bandido.

That Kyosho wiper type worked better than most.

I found these online.

I guess that I will soon be the owner of a SC10.

I wasn't watching last night, as I had to get up early.

That's why I always do test strips with lexan scraps. That way, you can test different backing colors.

Maybe try putting different color pieces of paper behind the paint to get an idea.

Also keep in mind that lighting effects the color, as seen. Metallic and florescent colors have very noticeable changes.

Nice General Lee! What make and year is your Charger body? Is that the MCIracing, General Lee decal set? Did you spray over the X-11 with Tamiya PS orange? Did you back it with any other color? Thanks as always @juicedcoupe! It is a 1/12 Bolink 69 Charger "Little Rebel" body, on a Digger ...

Older Losi springs, the larger size Tamiya CVA's, and maybe ECX (slightly larger than AE).

Alternatively, you could use a spring collar and different cups, allowing you to use larger springs.

My wife said that we needed to do something with the old entertainment center in the back room, so I moved it across the hallway and put it to use. 20240203_153913.jpg It still provides entertainment as well. It has an Orb Audio Mini T amplifier with a Bluetooth adapter, powering a set of Klipsch bo...
