  1. when you start adding winds to the second number (10x1 10x2 10x3 10x4 etc etc ) you are adding to the smoothness the of the response of the motor ,fast response is good in some types of car's (4wd cars on a high bite surface ) but not good for say a 2wd car on a dusty surface ,thats when you would start adding winds to your motor ,to cut down on that instant power , better control on less bite surface thx john
  2. life's to short! go play in the sand, have fun.parts can be replaced
  3. ANTI ! if you are going to spray and its cold ,find a room heater,to warm up your paint space, a WARM! body is good and also warm up your paint, boil some water in a pan than take it off the flame after a few min put your spray can in the water let it warm up take it out after a few shake it up than put it back in the water repeat this a few time's and you should be good to go also make sure your body is clean ,nothing worse than a oily finger print, you can check out my showroom for some of my paint job's GOOD LUCK THX JOHN

  13. hows about making up some super champ rear bumper's with that cnc mill ,they are harder to find than a in the box lux,
  14. greg i dont post much but i'em on here reading everyday, i do alot of painting (see my showroom for some of my work) and i have encounterd alot of different paint problem's every type of paint that you paint with has a catalyst (cureing) some are a chem some are water ,and some are air.so every time you are going to paint you have to add that in with relation to your project type of material (ie) wood,metal ,plastic ,paper etc,etc,etcto the type of paint you are going to use,for example you would'nt really want to use a heavy chem catalyst on MOST! plastic due to the HEAT caused by the chem (catalyst) reacting with the air to force the drying process. most over the counter CAN! automotive paint's have a high part of catalyst to paint to ease the unknowledgeable consumer with use of the product. (in no way em i saying that your are unknowledgeable just trying to state a point)Than there is the primer issue not all primers are the same ,some primers will actually mess up a project due to reactions with the paint that is sprayed UPON! it ,and also on the starting product that it was painted on.i could go on for day's about the whole paint process,but we will save that for another day,after reading your question,is there a chance that you painted that body at night,are on a cold day, the very first thing that i do when i paint is make sure that my paint is warm ,and also if i can get what ever im going to paint warm also. if you go to paint and the can is cold are the project(body) is cold when you spray, you will get coverage at first than a little time later you will get a contraction, do to the catalyst having too cold of air to start the reaction(drying) wich in results in a ripple effect,sometime's a cracking effect,and yess even the bunched up in spot's effect,some of these are cool if you are going for that effect.but not good for the solid color look,kinda think of it as the oil and water theory,but with chem and paint,,there are alot of different things that could have gone wrong,you could have even gat a bad can,but as was said before try to stay with the same company of paint through out your whole process,MOST! paint is developed that way,the best paint that i have ever used for my body's is PACTRA comes in can's and also airbrush bottles,hope i was somewhat of a help if you have any questions that you would like in more detail i would be happy,also one more little helpfull hint is if you are unsure of the paint on the body do atest spot on the inside some where ,see how it come's out might save a little headache.
  15. well done here in the states clay is what you want ,not only does it provide the highest grip for dirt driving,if you make the track, groom it, and let it dry out,than sweep it, you get a very nice almost 99% dust free high traction blue grouve track wich in my opinion is one of the greatest surfaces to drive on .When you are done driving you just pretty much use a air hose and blow your car off,really clay is not something you want to get rid of it is a real good forming dirt good for making jumps burms,etc ,etc .Down here in the states there are some indoor track's that use slick tire's on there clay track due to there being so much traction,i would just water it a little ,just enough to give it a slight tack ,honestly clay is are friend it's the best r/c raceing dirt you can ask for, as for sand if its a oval nix the sand thought,but if its a offroad track ,than a small sand trap would be cool just to give a differnet element in your offroad track,but i would not do the whole track thx john
