Thanks C, that is what I usually use.
Just trying to see what they are using on the other side of the Pond

Wow, do you use a tumbler to polish smaller parts! Thats incredible work. Thanks, No, it's a dream to should be come true... but all the videos i find don't talk about alumnium polishing, just brass. Not shure about the result i'm still waiting before buy one Lots and lots of elbow-grease and sore ...

Wow nice build............................

Decided to test fit and trim the belt covers. Probably will use 3M double stick to hold the covers and just a couple screws. Some basic assembly of the chassis is required and I wanted to see a few of the other parts assembled. A couple screw holes need a little drop of CA to "tighten" the...

Hey guys, Been a long time since I posted something up on the forum. Today, I will share the resto I did on this near mint Turbo Optima Mid. This is the car as I got it from a buddy of mine: https://www.kyosho-optima.com/optimaphotos/KYOSHO_TURBO_OPTIMA_MID_RED/TurboOptimaMid-Red12.jpg https://www.k...

Hung a few more pieces on the chassis to check alignment, adjust tie rods and check for anything that I've missed so far. And I put the rear shock tower on correctly :oops: :oops: :oops: The springs look a lot better after their tint job. The car still needs to come back apart for bearings and C-hub...

How to take a simple RC10/10T battery hold down mount and make it way over-complicated.

Well it's pretty well trimmed. Sanded 320, 400, 800, 1000. 1500 and 3000. A quick buff on the wheel and ... From 6-12" inches away it looked like a mirror finish. optima35.JPG Back to wet sanding. I can never really tell the final finish unless I polish the piece then either take a pic or look ...

Two more attempts... The second polishing is virtually flawless to the eye. Even the previous pic looked extremely good. Things I must keep in mind, aluminum is one of the most reflective metals, I am exaggerating the ever so slight imperfection with a bright led light , the image on my monitor is a...

Something I have been working on for the past few weeks. May very well be the height of my clinical OCD lol. Have been 3D printing and painting everything for a scale garage scene for the Felony. Everything is 3D printed, then painted/detailed. Pictures on the walls are resized pictures I took up on...

It took me longer to build the theater than it took to build the house.
130+" screen, 7.1, 2k watts, sub plays well below 20hz and lots of acoustic damping.
The only task that was "farmed out" was the seating upholstery.

Not a random bump, but never hurts. Gave the barn a full detail yesterday.

The plan this time is to build another runner car and I've just uploaded some part designs for printing -- for the first time. To date, every part I've gotten from printing services has been someone else's design so I'm new to the process. We'll see how this goes but so far, so good. The first item ...
