This is my first attempt at painting and kit building-- In fact im so new to RC's that I only have logged about 30 minutes of run time with "real" rc cars....

RE: rate my paint job
like i said- im new - i had no idea the rims were different for front vs rear-- didnt say anything about it in the kit instructions-- common sense told me the front would be the ones with the straight tread but when i went to install them- duh- they were on the wrong rims! plus im only 4!

lol I'm guessing your 14 not 4 because I don't know of ONE 4 year old that types that well and has put together an RC car kit
Nice paint job though
only problem with the wheels is you will get NO TRACTION

I see the part that says bkdarch is four and I'm thinking that it's a typo. Then i scroll back up and i see a little kid in the pcture. How old are you really?!

RE: rate my paint job
ya, i waited an hour to let them "dry" after assembling and putting the glue to them- then discovered the f'up-- figured i'd post the pix anyways to see if anyone would blast me-
Now i have to buy the debonding garbage because there is no way they are coming apart by pulling on them without ripping them into pieces--- luckily i can laugh at this- im sure there's more to come- i havent run this thing yet- waiting on parts....

RE: rate my paint job
good job on your paint job lil' duuuude
I think its his son thats 4, hes helping his son out because a 4 year old needs help building that kit, and his son maybe helped him paint it by following daddys lead, yall obviously dont have kids..kids love it when they get to do things like that, especially a little boy....come on guys, give some encouragement

RE: rate my paint job
Wait what? reading this post kinda confuses me
yeah you seemed confused to me to too about alot of things
...such as I have a pic of the hurricanes "crane" (Sebastian), well Frank thats because I was born in Florida, winter park Fl. to be exact, so my favorite college teams are the U or Miami, and the U or Florida (gators)
Im not "from texas" as you stated, I just live there at this point in my life, but if you want to get technical im in VA right now for the next 5-6 months, so Im not in Texas either,
but the real question from me to you IS: your in Miami but your dont know U of Ms mascot name....YOUR NOT A HURRICANES FAN >>>>> WHATTTTT, HURRY DUCK DUCK [sm=punching.gif]
also just because I live in texas doesnt mean I have to like a tx team, thats kinda weird for you to even imply that?
I also lived in VA and am currently in VA so does that mean im supposed to like UVA or Loyola Marymount, VCU or Norfolk ST..???? OF COURSE NOT, come on Frank
PLUS what does this have to do w/ this post anyway, Im just trying to give this lil' dude his props for painting a nice car and a job well done on the putting the kit together, thats all... [&:]
seems youre still a little confused about this 4 yr. old painting a body and putting together a kit w/ his dad LOLLOL
**** I'm joking w/ you Frank888888888 anyway, so dont take this to heart, I think its just funny when people try to get on me for having a avatar of U OF M's Sebastian when I was BORN in Florida ****

RE: rate my paint job
now back to the topic at hand::::::::::PHEW
"RATE MY PAINT JOB"
I give it a 10 [sm=idea.gif]
also I dont have any clue about that kit because I dont own one, so this is JUST a idea, dont want to get harped on for saying this by others....but could you put the rear tires/rims in the front and vice versa, thats assuming if the front and rear rims are the same exact size, that would certainly save you the time and effort of having to remove the tires and glue back on, plus not to mention fingers getting stuck together w/ the CA glue
again though, GREAT JOB!!~

"V8 5.0 Mustang FanAddict", Please do not assume things. I never said you were born on a leap year, I was talking about bkdarch's comment of "im only 4!". What does leap years have to do with being a Texas sports team fan or anything related to that? ANYONE would know immediately that I wasn't talking about you. True ignorance at it's finest.. Please do not call people not too bright when you don't know the whole story, it is very insulting...VERY insulting..

RE: rate my paint job
By the way, I did your "favor". Leap years are when there is a 29th during February. This occurs every four years. No, I didn't actually look it up. It's called "Everyone should know that". Would you like to do me a favor too and delete that post? Really edgy right now...
