Re: My newest Ultima re-re (Tomahawk body)
Looking great. Although that's a Tomahawk body, it's definitely putting out some Optima vibes.

Also, current ESC's will let you dial down the "punch" or torque of the brushless motor. Basically acting like a slipper gear.

Agreed, that driver head looks about as realistic as you could get!

Re: Another Marui project - Ninja/Shogun
That Coors T-Bird body looks fantastic. I'm not a fan of the Shogun box-art though. The silver and gold just don't seem to go well together. Well, to be honest, black and gold might be enough and better, actually, and very JPS inspired :) (that's the plan if I succeed to save the original body) The...

Re: Inter-Fab Viper EX-10
Is this for a shelfer or a runner? I don't know what you mean by "pro results"...but by coloring the white edges of vinyl sticker paper with a black Sharpie does about as good a job as anything to make the red blend onto a black body with barely visible lines. It's either that or have some...

Re: AYK Model Lineup Ad 1987
Cool. I've never seen that paint scheme on a Buffalo before. The box art scheme was a lot less interesting.

Re: Things that irritate you
Speaking of AI...AI narration in YouTube videos is another huge irritation for me, with the constant mis-pronouncing of everyday words and weird pauses...it's become so prevalent and very annoying.

Re: Inter-Fab Viper EX-10
I can weigh in on this issue of printing on clear sticker paper as well. I had terrible results too, as morrisey0 said. The colored/red areas were too transparent and became almost invisible when applied to a dark painted body. I got much better results making my own sticker images with a black back...

Re: Things that irritate you
Brief funny video clips that say "Wait for it" or "Watch to the end". I mean, who the heck watches a funny video compilation and STOPS watching 5-second clips just before they end??

Re: Playtron Doberman
That model has an interesting name. I wonder if Playtron ever considered making a Poodle? Or Chihuahua?

That car is beautiful inside & out. Love the purple aluminum-nums! Did this come out before HPI started offering kits with purple alloy parts?

Re: Things that irritate you
My question is, why are updates necessary? Seems every electronic device these days requires an internet connection and regular updates or they cease functioning. I'm fairly certain this issue with every damn thing needing "updates" is more about sharing whatever personal information they...
