    masking off the body for painting

    They're not so much prices as ballpark estimates. Well okay, the $100 single-colour is a baseline; and is in Canadian dollars. Remember though that it doesn't include shipping in either direction, nor the body itself. Exact quotes depend on just what's involved in completing the design and...

    masking off the body for painting

    Hi Trip, Well, for a 1/5 shell a single-colour paint job starts at $100 - this does on a largescale shell however include head/taillights, window trim, and when molded-in, body detail lines such as hood, door separations and so on. Adding designs and detail will increase the price in...

    brushless firehammer mt

    Indeed, at 8hp and electric to boot, it ought to out-pull pretty much anything of a comparable size. It's not the Bolido (9hp) but still. Yow.

    FG Semi cat truck

    I thought the same. I'm now both enlightened and somewhat disappointed. But I'll somehow soldier on. :)

    my new fg sportsline mclaren zen 23cc RP

    Thanks for those. It's an interesting mechanism. It's got to be fiddly to work on though, all stuffed inside the front end like that. Yesno? Again, thanks for the pictures.

    FG Semi cat truck

    Hey, are those golf tees glued to the carb adjustment screws?

    FG Semi cat truck

    Typically yes there is a separate class for trucks. The chassis are basically quite similar to the touring cars, but the handling is significantly different, as I understand it. I can't make a direct comparison in terms of 5th-scale, but I've driven a 10th-scale MAN truck shell on a touring car...

    need servo torque?

    403oz/in torque, but on a plastic servo horn. Hm. I guess if you really need that much grunt in your servos, you can afford to go looking for the aftermarket aluminum horns eh?

    my new fg sportsline mclaren zen 23cc RP

    Nifty inboard monoshock arrangement. I don't suppose you could manage a few closeup tight focus pictures of it for us? I don't know about anyone else, but I'm terribly curious about how it works.

    Softer damping will help prevent shock shaft bending

    Well I'm no offroader, so I don't know all there is to know on the subject, but golly wouldn't NOT flinging your Baja 20 feet in the air (as read on another thread) help keep the shock shafts from bending? :P Maybe if you can be satisfied with a bit less air time you'll get less down time. :)

    hobbythek ordering

    When I order from Hobbythek I try to buy as much as I can force myself to need :) so as to amortize the shipping over as many items as possible. My last order was a couple Alfa 156 bodies to start with, so I added a set of mounted tires and a DVD and some other little bits 'n bobs. I've always...

    What grade of fuel do you use?

    Ah, hm. Y'see, the thing that made me ask is that I went to the Canadian Tire website looking for "camp fuel" and it shot up with Coleman Camp Fuel, which was tagged as Naphtha (correcting my own earlier mistaken spelling); and is thus why I asked. Googling around a bit (which I probably...

    What grade of fuel do you use?

    This is Naptha we're talking about, right? I just want to be sure I'm on the same page.

    Reciever question

    If you mean Hitec, then yes the Hitec will take Futaba. Novak Rx's are on the same standard by default. Nomadio is the same way. I believe that newer Airtronics gear (Airtronics "Z", the blue plug) also has the same order of wires, though I'm unable to definitively confirm this at the...

    Servo settings for steering?

    How to set Steering End Point Adjustments... ...or here's how I do it anyway. Assuming you've assembled it all correctly (letting the powered servo center itself, adjusting the transmitter trim to center, all before attaching the servo horn with the car's steering set to center), first turn...

    K1 Gladiator 4x4 truck

    So you've sent 4 emails in one day with no reply.. looking at their site, it appears they're located in southeast asia; there may be some timing issues involved. On top of that, it appears English isn't necessarily their first language; and/or perhaps their English-speaking staff isn't on-shift...

    masking off the body for painting

    Aye, I do. I paint 'em on the top front and back too. ;) Sorry, paint fumes and lack of sleep make for peculiar posts. But yes, I do custom paintwork.

    FG vs MCD Tug-a-war

    According to the info coming from the recent Nuremberg toy show, 4WD will be coming from the FG factory this year. Tough to call from the few pictures so far, but they do have a nice cab-forward look about them.

    masking off the body for painting

    Crash Course in Painting Polycarbonate Hi there, Some of your questions have already been answered, but I'll probably cover those topics again just 'cause I'm in the neighbourhood. Masking. You have several options here. There's the old standby masking tape, and its low-tack...
