  1. Possibly I thought of that a while ago, at least I remember me wanting to get a 911 GT1, and it's not because I like the body so much (It's probably one of my least favorite models, I much prefer the 356 and models that more resemble the classic 911.) Maybe I'll customize my F103GT, which I bought for a Audi R8 LMS project...hmm I've thought about making chassis plates, and I probably will at some point in time, as a CNC has been on my list for quite some time. I really need to learn how to prioritize... mumbles something about hobby room, home cinema, RC car parts and kits and...
  2. Did you get one? I recently searched for them, but it seems he listed items that were not in stock and people got a refund.
  3. That's what I was thinking as well, but I also think that scuffed/scratched PC may have a better bond, I would try some gentle bending to see if the glue comes loose (You can possibly hear it coming loose as well.) @RC_FunLand Just because you made a mistake, doesn't mean you're an idiot (Maybe you are and I just don't want to admit that I'm an idiot too ) I used nail polish remover (with acetone) and q-tips to remove some CA glue from a coated polycarbonate lens, it took some time and effort, but I got rid of the glue without damaging the lens or its coating. Pure acetone probably works better, but may be too aggressive. CA debonders may work fine, but there's different types, I know some are "polystyrene safe" and I assume those are the least aggressive, not sure though. Supposedly you could try some soapy water and let it soak for several hours, or try some salt with a bit of water and let it soak (It probably still needs some prying/scrubbing to get it off), there's some videos about that on YouTube, not sure how well it'll work or if these videos are BS.
  4. Everything matters, but it really depends what your goal is, best performance or something more realistic (Rear engine, RWD)? Are you thinking about designing other parts as well, or just modify the upper and lower deck and possibly use readily available parts from just about any car? Keep in mind that prototypes can get stupid expensive real quick, not to mention having small quantities made, or large quantities and ending up with lots of unsold chassis'/parts...
  5. I have to thank the postman, yesterday he dropped off my package in Germany and made me realize that I could use a bit more exercise... For the imperial people: Distance 34.193 mi Pace avg. 05:04 min/mi Speed avg. 11.8 mph Climb 1824 ft Descent 1830 ft Elevation 174 ft Temperature 59.8 F Inside the package was a parts tree with light buckets and mirrors for a 911 GT3, not really sure why I bought it, I had it in my cart a while ago but when I wanted to order it 2 days later or so it was sold out, but as I had to have the D parts for the F103GT I recently bought, I decided to order it anyway. BTW: Are apps supposed to tell how they feel, because the app obviously has no idea how I feel...
  6. I have no clue whatsoever how it all works on eBay as I only buy (Mind you, sellers tend to agree that I'm good at buying), but it does make sense. Have you considered contacting him? Besides the usual ways, there's also an e-mail address somewhere...
  7. I haven't ordered anything from MaxSpeedParts recently, but I'm guessing you followed an old link/URL? When you look in his store or click 'See other items' there's nothing there and when you search for something like Tamiya HD Carbon you get no results. IIRC he's been away since August or September, maybe even longer? Lets hope he's fine and comes back soon, because I would like some carbon chassis plates as well.
  8. Didn't think about that as I never had those problems (Once ordered 15 Liter 99.9% IPA from Germany and got free shipping), but since you mentioned HobbyKing (Didn't they used to have a UK warehouse? Pretty sure they did.), I vaguely remember trying to order some lipos (The ones that I want tend to be out of stock in the EU warehouse), while shipping was more expensive from the Global and/or UK warehouse, I don't recall it being as expensive as I just saw... Fedex Priority - - Dangerous Goods €193,80 for a €0.94 lipo (or any other lipo for that matter) Had a look how much shipping for the paint was going to be, estimated shipping cost to the Netherlands is €25, to the UK it's €30, that's kinda pricey for a €11 can of paint, I expected it to be more like €15 to the Netherlands. But then again, if you really want/need it... (Shipping cost seems pretty accurate.) Are there more people that would like some of this paint?
  9. I found a couple of Asian shops that seem to have it in stock, but I also found a shop in Europe that seems to have it in stock... Now how much are you willing to pay?
  10. It seems that each letter has a color, for example: J = Blue and K = Green, but it also seems they're not the exact same color. Just to make sure my mind wasn't playing tricks on me: One half of the J is taken from @Jonathon Gillham and the other half of the J is taken from @Juls1 I managed to change my avatar, it seems the size is set wrong (and way too small), when I tried to Import it from a URL it said the file had to be smaller than 0.0009765625MB, which is about 0.977kB or 976.563Byte. The message where it says "1 file was larger than the maximum file size of 1.024kB, and was skipped" made me think the file size is set to Bytes and not kilobytes. So I tested it with a file of 1044 bytes and a file of 1021 bytes, I get an error message with the 1044 bytes file, but not with the 1021 bytes file.
  11. Won the Cheetah at an auction, it's in pretty rough shape and some parts are missing, we'll see what I can make of it... To celebrate that I won the auction I decided to buy another car, which also has seen better days... And last but not least, one of the cars that was on my wish list, since these are getting harder to find and I missed out on one, I almost Imported one... but I decided to look elsewhere and found this: Maybe you noticed it, but part of the battery holder is missing, I noticed it before I bought the car. I didn't bother asking the seller as to me it was a great deal (Less than importing a new kit) and I really couldn't be bothered if it came with or without that part.
  12. Not really, I'm guessing that you calculated the power first (1.5*240=360) and then divided the power by the voltage (360/8.4=42.86), the switch is most likely rated at 240V AC, but DC is a different animal, and it's not just about power, more current = beefier switch/thicker cables. Depending on the motor used, a 40A switch may not be enough, I would probably go for a switch that can handle close to the motors stall current (Which is over 40A for a stock 540 silver can). @alvinlwh Can't you just switch off the ESC, or is the ESC hard to reach? Is a different ESC an option? Some older ESC's used to have a switch on a wire that you could mount in an easy to reach spot, not sure if there are newer ESC's which also have a switch on a wire.
  13. Looking at the following pic it seems that it comes predrilled:
  14. On eBay it says: The seller is away until Feb 07, 2022. If you buy this item, expect a delay in shipping. So I did a search for new year as I know nothing about Taiwanese new year, that's not it (so it seems), but google did show me some fireworks (Google 'Asian New Year' or 'Chinese New Year', not sure if that is new, but it was a first for me).
