Personally, I like the Windex and hair dryer method. It works really good for weird angles and body lines.

I use a small (breath spray size) pump sprayer that I got somewhere.

I'm pretty sure all of my ESC's deliver 6v max to the Rx but I read that your JustStock can be switched from 6v to 7.4v. Could this be what blew your LED's? Anyway, I'm no LED expert and I really don't have the patience to rig a light controller so I just power all my lights from an empty port on t...

The problem is with the series circuits. As individual leds fail, the voltage increases.

But something else to keep in mind is that leds are polarity sensitive, like any other diode. If whoever assembled those pigtails got the polarity backwards, it could cause you some problems.

Personally I think the one piece cncrc aluminum wheels would be bad ass. The gold insert look works, but I prefer the all silver look.

Sadly he sold out in a couple hours so they may be hard to get until he runs another batch.

Silver is cool... but for a Bandit tribute... gotta go with the gold!

The challenge working with lacquer paints is that they dry very fast so you need to lay the paint heavy so it will flow (and avoid orange peel) BUT doing so, you increase the risk that it will bleed under the mask. You're climbing the Mt Everest of RC body painting -- don't sweat the tiny mistakes. ...

...Wonder why they did this? Because they are ugly? :lol: They don't issue a front "tag" in my state and I've grown to appreciate how clean the front of our cars look without them. When a front tag holder is provided, I'll remove it from my 1:1 vehicles. Okay, so I understand that your do...

After watching Tomley's video I had to order one. Now we wait

Picked up the kit on Thursday and built it up yesterday night and today. For the most part the kit went together well albeit the manual was not quite right. So as I was building from both the old and new manual I started to make notes and suggestions on the new manual which I have here: https://driv...

Overall the build was fun. The instructions might not be 100% and the original instructions were far more detailed. Regardless most of the car went together fine. As I stated above my starting setup is hybrid between the old and new kit, the main difference between the setup I started with and what ...

To be honest, I've tried correcting my overspray and other paint mistakes before and it always looks worse than if I'd just left it alone. I'm not good at fixing mistakes so I tend to live with them. Anyway, clear gloss is your friend. So far, I've used it for all my hard body projects. Sanding and...

That would be awesome to have both! A little bit of staging could make the difference in scale disappear. You could mount the big rig up on a shelf with the Bandit low and in front to change the perspective, sort of focussing on the Bandit but with Snowman in the background. Found a painting that sh...

I saw AliExpress was having a sale and they also had a $40 off coupon, couldn't pass this up. Probably be 2 months of boat travel to get here but couldn't resist at that price.

I hear those guys are pretty awesome
