RE: Da Underdawg

I found the front rims will start to scrape with too much angle on the lower arms. More angle will make the front dogbones chatter even more as the shaft pops in and out of the axle grooves.

Don't know what you've done so-far, but I bought a HSP (same thing as the Redcat) and put proper bearings on the axles instead of the crappy brass bushes, bought a 15 turn motor off ebay for $6 (the...

How do others do panel lines on car bodies?

Just wondering what techniques other people use to get black panel lines on car bodies?

My first effort was by masking off and spraying black. Turned out a bit 'wiggly' but not too bad. Decent...

RE: Ran my drift rc into puddle by accident
