How do u guys get the black frame on around the windows on ur cars?
there decals on some cars others people just use perminent marker or if your game mask it and paint it whne ur doing ur black coat

how do u apply carbon fibre look decals?
cut them out stick them on

any come across tinting paint and finally
no use a semi transperent satick on vynal or if ya got a airbrush u can do it.. or just do a light coat witha rattle can

has any1 come across and unpainted lancer evo shell? yeah just ask at ur local or search towerhobbys.. HPI make one and im 90% sure frewer do.. tamiya also do but is fragile and cost lots

[merc-blue]

nah no lathe.. the idea is to make freinds with some one who has one..
teh eagle lathe.. no idea on quality but i have a few other eagle bits and peice and are all very good so i wouldnt expect it to be bad..
a good lathe and carbide bit = a adverage lathe and diamond bit.. not easy to lathe it well either.. just gotta take ur time..
before buying this sorta gear make sure all ur radio and batterys and charger etc are all good.. cause the $$ would deffently be good to upgrade no use using a sanwa dash with a evo4

kev, never seen/heard of this.. i think its because its not hard to take a motor apart and u can see better what ur doing and also .. also most racing motors are rebuildable sport tuned and540 silver cans arent worth comm cutting.. just run it it propery from teh box and there great if the comm does seem crap u can re dip it but dunno if that works

[merc-blue]

well i have mt Xray T1 together but no speddy in it i have 2 M03s (one the M03 TRF) both half in parts and a HPI savage with no petrol tank.. oh yeah and a TB02 in parts

[merc-blue]

i got work at 5 before then i can be there .. NFI if i will have anything running if i do i will be there.. might bring a savage lol

[merc-blue]

ph2t .. get some one to cut the comm on it every now and then also if ya want some speed time it to like 20degrees(although reverse will kill the motor) and comm stick it

PM ph2t or try http://www.woahnelly.com
good choice of turbo deffently best a man (or woman) can get

[merc-blue]

yeah get HPI x patten tyres and HPI 5 spoke rims and a frewer racing shell .. i hvae only ever broke 1 frewer shell from driving it under a 1:1 car LOL.. and the xpattens kick ass..

[merc-blue]

nice… pruple is hard.. i did a all pink/purple car once .. still was almost macho even running tamiya 0 offsets

[merc-blue]

VERY TRUE… if u turn ur car on and bump backwards first ur throttle will be reversed and sometimes at a race day u dont have time to make sure. and if it u lose power for a second u can have ur throttle reversed or max throttle on trigger = 20% on car and stuff it can end ur day if it dont setup rite or i have even had one setup nutral is aobut 40% trottle..
compared to a 1 time setup do in comfort of ur own home and make it all good and never have to worry about it untill u change gear

[merc-blue]

i have seen a car that had blakc red and blakc blue colour change very cool starts all black finishes red and blue

[merc-blue]

i would go the mc330 i race with a mc800 very good bit of gear also “AI” is rubbish

and yeah zoomer they are rebadged LRP/nosrams

[merc-blue]

frewer minis do come with decals..ii would STRoNGLY suggest one, the tamiyas dont last eg 1 race and its gone only reason u would run one is for TCS

[merc-blue]

never heard of the super AI.. give us stats and i can tell u wat it really is and what it was b4 it was rebadged the mc330 is a drcent ESC for a beghinner the 230 is crap but 330 is decent as a starter esc or a mini esc and such

[merc-blue]

sweet looking mini..

[merc-blue]

yeah.. there sweet investment people say slower divisions it dont matter but srsly a dialed car in 540 pro kicks ass

[merc-blue]

yeah .. puting it under water chews into the comm/brushes making them ‘seated’ bassicaly most contact area possible another thing people use is shelite casue it also cleans it as it does it but i woldnt do it casue it can catch on fire..
i do suggest oiling teh bushings on ur motors oiled bushings are just as fast as bearings and sometimes better.. but for 540 water dip run ins for sealed cans KICKS ASS.. droped 2 (form 21 to 19) seconds by using s good run in motor

[merc-blue]

opps yeah.. forgot.. 540 motors have alot more brush/comm to fool with u do it in 2 min stints till it runs clean then lube both ends with a good oil like trinity royal oil (the best bushing/bearing oil there is).. a 130 should only need 30 second stills maybe 20 seconds with 2 cells

[merc-blue]

yesh the new yokomos (soldi ABS tyres) are really good they wear well unlike teh older ring style

[merc-blue]

z-beam bassicaly get a glass of water and a few cells 3 or 4 and run it under water for 2 mins then tip out the water do it again and again untill u do it for 2 mins and the water stays clean

[merc-blue]

yes
4WD is mych better handling

[merc-blue]

ok to drift a RC just leave ur car AWD then wrap some eletrical tape wround ur tyres about 3 times on each wheel.. or use PVC tyres just get some spare rims and glue on some PVC pipe that fits

[merc-blue]

yeah u cna do that but why the hell would u want RWD

[merc-blue]

i would love to buy one of them hunting sling shots to take out pidgeons with .. lol

[merc-blue]

the super rooster is NML the rooster is 15T.. its defently a bash speedy only 64 throttle steps FWD and 32 reverse
its not fwd reverse like i remember im 80% sure is fwd brake.. then if ya hold it in barke or repress brake without going forward then it reverses.. ok i guess.. personly i would go sumthing different..
