stainless steel rims

Post by Miva »

Hello!

First of all, hello from a new micro r/c enthusiast from Poland :)

I'm working on my first car and found a way to improve wheels appearance.

left one is improved (polished) :)

I did this with; dremel, proxxon 7mm polishing felt point and car wax.
I think this little mod could be useful for you.

Sorry for my poor english

welcome to da hood... It's great to see new blood around here. You'll fit in well.

I like what you've done to those wheels, how long did it take?

:) There should be more poles because micro r/c become more and more popular in Poland and besides clones we have official Microsizers distributor.

About 1 minute per rim (including polishing and cleaning)

Proxxon 7mm polishing felt point fits very well inside the rim.
