SIM2U

Hey thanks alot...juat made an order then...but I have to wait for him to get back to me about the shipping quote...but soon. Then Ill paint that nice and sweet, self design.

SIM2U

For paint jobs...it takes ALOT of practice to do well...ALOT!!!! But its fun doing it. Ill post some links later when i finish work.

Bill Plude

I've got bodies piling up here. Still waiting on that new VLS airbrush..........

SIM2U

YEAH...nice airbrush Bill...double action is better, which is what you just got. You should do some painting on paper to practice with and try some art work mate. Nice deal too, very nice deal.

Bill Plude

I've had plenty of dbl action experience Sim. Way back in the day when I used to freehand my own scallops and flames on my model cars and win EVERY contest I entered.........One of my bosses even trusted me to do his Harley. It was nothing really fancy, just orange with different shades of brown fogging. Wish I still had the pictures. Wish I still had a couple 1000 pictures.....
that Bit(h! LOL

SIM2U

HA ha ha...gotcha. Yeah, Im not too sure how mine will turn out yet as I may only do mine with a spray can as I am not set up here where I am currently to do that sort of thing and i dont want to buy added equipment for it...so it'll be simple but nice. I want to use some CF sheets (the sticker version of course) so that I can leave some areas clear and then put the CF on so you can see. With the colour scheme I have in mind, it'll look really REALLY nice...but again simple.

Bill, I ahve tow questions mate...1) where do you get your rit dye (online) if from your hobby shop, thats ok. 2) do you know where I can get the CF sheets...? I simply cant find them, they are hard to find...? Thanks

Here are several carbon fiber decal companies. One link is even from Tower.

Bill Plude

I get mine from my local Walmart or Brooks Drug store. There must be someplace over there that sells it bro. Don't people
Tie-Dye t-shirts? Any fabric dye should work. Even if it has some kind of hieroglyphics name you can't read.

SIM2U

Hey, thanks a bunch seldom. I was trying to find some and I did, just not what I wanted. Your than man! Thanks mate.

SIM2U

he he he thanks Bill, Im sure they do, but I was not sure if you could just use any tie-dye product for the plastic...thanks mate. Ill look when I go to Tokyo next.

Seldomseen

Don't know if they will help or not. I just Googled "carbon fiber decals" and that is some of what came up. I didn't know if you wanted the ones that stick on the inside or outside. Parma (one of the links above) has all kinds of painting supplies and accessories. They have just about anything someone would be looking for. I know I seen a website the other day for decals that go on the inside but can't remember who makes them. I will keep looking.

blackdogafd

sweet site man i also signed your guestbook too!! I keep coming back there and checking out progress

Bill Plude

TY. Black Dog awesome song by Led Zeppelin. You're going to find a lot more painting on it. Just got 2 of the 1/18 Sprint bodies and the wings. Bought a Baja Bug last night. Now where's my PAASCHE "VLS" with the 3 needles. Also bought 1/4" and 1/16" masking/striping tape today.....

Indecline099

my revo rebuild complete

SIM2U

Are you racing this or basing with it....?

SIM2U

I want to order one adn tried, but the method of payment for international orders is that they have to create an account within paypal...I REALY dont wish to do this. Just for example, if you look at this site "Liquid RC", which is by no means the best site in the world but when international orders are made, the customer does not have join paypal, they only have to pay through paypal...much easier...Just my 2cents worth.

Indecline099

im going to be doing a little of both

SIM2U

Might suggest that if you race, perhaps loose the EZ start and replace it with either a shaft starter, a back plate and flywheel start or a pullstart...? Up to you though.

Indecline099

i was thinking about going to bump start but im not gonna get serious about racing, its all for fun

SIM2U

If its for fun, and you want to do some bashing and some race, perhaps a shaft start or a pull start might be better - just in terms of onboard weight. The EZ start is very convenient, just heavier.

ScRacing

i say keep the ease of the ez-start, if you are still going ot bash than bash. There is no way your revo is ready for so heavy of compition that shaving grams could win a victorey. Stay with the ez start and yu'll be 5xs happyer.

Bill Plude

Who was looking for Carbon Fiber stickers? White and Black. Awesome paints too. Just picked up some gold to red airbrush paint today.
