Re: Spoked wheels for modern buggies?

I bought a set of those wheels & tires years ago, they're all knockoffs meant to fit HSP/Redcat Racing cars. While they are 12mm hex, they are too big a diameter for vintage RC cars and the wheels are all high positive offset. The rears will rub on your shocks or other chassis parts without usi...

Re: we all have big toys too don't we? show off your ride!

An aesthetic update on Grendel showing off her backside. I'm going for a look that the purists are gonna hate, but I think the body color-painted bumpers and blacked-out grille and taillight surrounds will make her look more menacing. :twisted: TaillightFinishPanel-Installed1.jpg TaillightFinishPane...

Re: Inexpensive Airbrush kit - Beginner Level

Most of my problems with airbrush clogging aren't because of cleaning (or lack thereof) but because of metallics and pearls having particles that cause the clogs. Most cheapie airbrushes I've used, even with needles and nozzles up to 0.5mm, get clogged frequently when spraying metallics & pearls...

Re: Inexpensive Airbrush kit - Beginner Level

I did a few guitars, both were plain-Jane black finish originally, some damage, nicks, gouges and scratches to be repaired...did the blue one for myself and the orange fade for my daughter. I painted and initialed the headstock on mine, too. I upgraded the electronics and did the "Gilmour wirin...

Re: Inexpensive Airbrush kit - Beginner Level

Very nice, I'm not a fan of boring white pickguards...both of the guitar pickguards I showed before were painted with SEM Trim Black, then dusted with some metallics before clearcoating.

Re: RC10 40th Anniversary boxart - Striped Decals vs Painted Stripes

A sticker applied to this curved area of the body just won't go perfectly flat, unless the entire sticker is meticulously designed to completely wrap around from one side to the rear to the other side, taking into account the curvature. https://img2.associatedelectrics.com/pictures/cars_and_trucks/R...

Re: OPTIMA MID '87 WC Worlds Spec Ltd Ed.

If it's just sticker residue, I've always used WD-40 to remove that stuff; just wet it down with WD-40 and let it sit a few minutes, then wipe. It may need a few applications but won't harm paint or Lexan. That residue however almost looks like silicone or caulk. If that's the case, good luck trying...
