Shell looks great...how did you do the window's border....?

cheers matey good.gif i used a fine line pen to draw the window frames on the window masks before applying them, then just cut out with a craft knife when it comes to painting themwink.gif

Cant see anything wrong with that shell..the lightning looks mint, as do the window surrounds.

When I did the surrounds on my Red Bull shell I cut the masks free hand with a scalpel, but I'll try your method on the next one as it seems a better way.

And wheeling on 4s..? Could be the oil in the diffs..mine only wheelie's when it hits a bump or something...it just puts the power down and takes off like a rocket.

I'm running 50K front 50K centre 30K rear (Joe's standard set up smile.gif)

yea...

5K 5K 3K andy :P

not 50K!

lost in translation somewhere...

like chris fulling his diff with 30wt shock oil ;)

Haha yeah something got lost there for sure Joe laugh.gif

The funny thing is it works, and works well in fact.

But hang on, when I lent you diff oil last year..remember I posted it to you and you gave it back to me at the skate park bash? That was the same Traxxas 50k diff oil, did you not notice it had 50k on the bottle?
