So I am trying again. No expert here, just trying for an interesting look that I like. All help and suggestions are definately welcome. Fairly basic assortment of painting stuff. The masking tape is Tamiya 2mm, 6mm and 10mm. The 2mm will make nice curves but needs to be held with 6 or 10mm, particul...

I thought my Spektrum s6240 servo was an oddity. It rattles too, since it was new! An old friend who has been racing for 30+ years says it's very uncommon. I have tried it on an older Novak ESC and now on a new Reedy ESC. Same results. Analog Futaba is as steady as ever on both ESC's. Had a cap on b...

Not as impressive of a collection as Northstar's, but I got Plutonium turnbuckles and new ball cups!

Thanks lonestar

After just a few days browsing the site I've come to find loads of info.
I had thought I might have an unhealthy addiction to toy cars.
I'm feeling much better about myself now!

Hello Kaare-65 Seems to me that somewhere in town, at one time, there was a spring. I have never gone to investigate. On the other hand 15 miles n/w of Drippin' is Hamilton Pool. Very nice on a hot summer day! Plenty of "elbow" room out here in the hill country. I missed the second part of...

Thanks
I thought I might show and tell on the buggy section but heres a couple.

Thanks
I got a short break in cleaning up the place.
Friends, pizza, beer and big screen football tonight. Go Eagles!

Hello Basher67 The film is on the underside. I don't think it would hold up good on the outside. The film is a soluble paint and if the underside is "primed" it should adhere very good. It is also quite thin so flexibility isn't a problem. Tight inside corners are not your friend. The film...

I started building this when I received it new.
Never finished it until recently.
Now it's my Wifes car.
Mods include: Black shock bodies (Thanks Old RC), Associated slipper, new bell cranks (OEM cracked) and new wheels/tires.
Still have the OEM stuff stashed.

Thanks NomadRacer
The area here is growing fast!
Buy yourself some boots and a cowboy hat and mosey on over.
We got the Hill Country, not mountains but...

Thanks Brian

You probably are correct.
Drippin' is just west of Austin and Fredricksburg is about 45 miles west of us.
It has sure changed since we moved here 10 years ago.
We have a Home Depot!

Hope this may be of interest. I tried hydrodipping for the first time. Saw a bunch of youtube videos and went for it. I think the results were OK. It's a better looker from a couple feet away than up close. Probably going to try again. I think I may have over-activated the film causing tears and spo...

A little guidance and voila!
Thanks xlr8.
Easier than I thought it would be.
I hope I might even do a better photo job for future pics.
BTW this is a 1st attempt at a "dip". It's OK hoping for better future results.

Thanks again

Chuck

Guess I'll try it here to start

Thank you too!
Can anyone point me in a good direction to help me post pictures?
Again I'm new to forums.
It seems like there several methods, none of which I understand.
