For painting Willy - heres the guide

http://www.tamiyaclub.com/howto.asp

I've got another in the pipeline for making your own bodies and then thats it. Any volenteers for writing any more?

Maybe...

- an idiots guide to Motors and ESCs

- whats gearing got to do with anything?

- stripping bodies

- repairing bodies

All it needs is to be interesting, bullet pointed into clear steps and some nice pics to accompany each step. All submitted articles will be of course linked back to your showrooms.

Cheers

Chris

Nice one - top kudos to Fabrizio for showing us how it's done; just happens that I have me a plain unpainted Willy so I'll be having a go using this guide for guidance.

I'll be the first in with a lame excuse, I love writing this type of stuff but I won't have time until xmas as I'm currently doing 1500-2000 miles a week driving round fixing stuff for work. I'm currently covering the UK. Sorry

Excellent How to Guide, hats off to Fabrizio for such a detailed description and great photos, always wondered how to get that lifelike skin texture, now we all know!

Yeah, it's a bit like a magician telling how his tricks work, it makes it less desireable if it seems all that easy and self-explanary... [V]

But now at least we will have more knowledge (and courage) to try it ourselves! You still have to accomplish a result like that yourself, it's not as if it's dead easy, now it just seems that way. [;)]

Think that new section will be awesome! I had a couple topics I thought might be good, but they are mainly competition oriented:

- supension: what does oil, springs, travel do?

- motor brushes: what's the difference?

- battery maintinence

- motor lathing: why should i do it?

As far as other things related to general r/c enjoyment:

- masking for paint

- how to decal for showcar

- driver detailing

- how to tint
