Nice color choice!

Here are some progress pics of Grendel's resurrection. She's been in body & paint since just after Christmas 2023. I never liked the original EF8 olive green color, but I wanted to remain true to her green roots--while doing something nobody has done before. Spent hours googling green-painted ca...

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!

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...

Cool. I've never seen that paint scheme on a Buffalo before. The box art scheme was a lot less interesting.

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.

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...

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??

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

Nice score! I like those Triumphs.
