This project frustrates me. I was making great progress, and then life got really busy as usual. I feel that it won't get completed for some time. It is sort of a Traxxas SRT-ish Kyosho RT5/6 mongrel... Jeff's Rustler to SRT conversion chassis, white Traxxas 2wd plastics, and the shocks and hubs fro...

Got a couple white case Ace servos. They aren't particularly strong or fast but damn that looks sweet. Nice! They look similar to the white Kyosho Perfex servos.... except they haven't faded over time! Agreed. As an added bonus, they likely have more torque and speed than an anemic Perfex servo as ...

The closest I have found off the shelf is Montana Gold in color code 6130 - Malachite. It is an acrylic graffiti paint available from art supply stores, although you can also get it from Amazon. The green wing shown is from the Javelin mint cage set. The paint itself is flat, which doesn't matter in...

HS-YZ250 Screenshot_20250501_154722_Gallery.jpg The paint is an acrylic, so it is flexible like lexan paint. Adhesion is good, but you want to work several light coats. I haven't sprayed the body yet, but did a few soda bottles. I was practicing with white backing and will try silver next. My plan ...
