Hi all, I have restarted my long -time Hilux Highlift project and I was wondering if any of you has any tips on how to improve the shifting: when te servo arm moves, it sometimes rotates the ball connector on the shifting rod, making the travel less eficient, and the gearchange fail. I was wondering if some of you have the same experience and maybe have come up with a solution. Cheers, Rick

Thanks guys for all your suggestions! Regards, Rick

Hi all, Well I made up my mind: after using spray cans and paint brush for as long that I am the RC hobby, I would like to take the next step: airbrush. I would like some advice on the purchase of an airbrush system for beginners. I would like to use it for painting helmets/ drivers and detailing. on lexan and ABS bodies. If somebody here on TC has any tips what to look for in such system, it would be much appreciated! PS: I live in the Netherlands Best regards, Rick

Thanks Juggular and all the others for pointing me in the right direction! Rick

Hi all, I would like to do a F1 lexan body in the Benetton f1 95 paintscheme. Can someone point out which light blue color I'll have to use( and from which brand)? I would like to brush paint. Thanks! Rick

Wow! Thanks for all your tips and tricks! Even from a genuine engineer... Truck Norris: what a great examples of your crafmanship!!!! I will have a go the Styrene way.... I understand the best way to attache the sensors/ antenna's is glueing them with instant cement? That won't damage the lexan? Or are there alternative ( safe) ways to attach them without damaging the lexan body? Rick

Thanks guys for all your tips and suggestions!. I guess I'll have to figure out which method suits me best... Rick
