I OFFICIALLY HATE SILVER.

Why is it that you HAVE to put the silver paint on LAST? The masking ALWAYS takes it off. I forgot about that

. Now I have to hope for the best all over again.

I'm going to put the White on now. When i take off the masking i'll see what can happen

You don't put silver on last, you put on first. It's high metal content makes it good opaque base, and it'll make all those metallic, pearl and candy colors jump out.

Besides, you lay the lighter colors first, silver would be on the lighter end of the spectrum.

I love silver.

ARRRRRGGGGGGGGG::::::::

Can today be any worse?

Well after the whole crushed car incident i decided I'd still go ahead and throw a drizzle of paint on it to see 'what if'. The the white paint was all hard and flying out the can like your ass after a whole day of left over curry. No worries tho, I was gunna trash it any way.

Here it is:

I used the paint program and added the circle and #7 also added a little black to the back.

Now onto what else went wrong...

1) I'm finally running my newly li-ion'd xmod and all of a sudden... it only turns left. From the time i turn it on the wheels do like this \ \ . So I said ok no problem i'll just recenter the servo. So, while still outdoors, i recentered the servo. Put everything back together plug in my batts and...... \ \

. So i adjusted the trim on the controler to counter this thorn in my ass. It kinda worked. So i'm running my car (after 45 mins and I still haven't seen it at full throttle) then the WHEEL flies off. SHIT what next.

2) I gone for my damn cyar now, i pick it up and now i smellin' something funny. Next thing i know my car sizzling and a bunch'a rasshole. Purple smoke comming from de fucking car. so I unplug the batts before dum explode in my rassshole hand.

Now my brother laffin' at me, asking me if i dun now (meaning with RC's)? And honestly I dont know. I can't afford to start over man. and It's too expensive to go 1:10. so i aint know......

end rant

Yeah, when my bodies start going down that path, then they're the "racers", and end up being the cars I drive the most. Then when it's really done, you can just throw it in the garbage and know it had a good life.

As far as the silver paint thing, maybe try some less tacky masking tape. The Tamiya tape is pretty good, but I often use the blue masking tape for house painting.

I just may do that.
So i was lying in bed cooling off, and i deduced that i fried my fets. But why was my steering spazing? Do i need a management board?

setup: li-ions, S2 blue. (didn't think that would harm my car)

i have a feeling one of the wires to the servo pot has broken, just a guess.

hey maxx, reckon you can find a copy of "dancehall queen"?

Maxximum Attack · Post by **Maxximum Attack** » Mon Mar 28, 2005 9:09 pm

dancell queen the song or the movie?

I'll check for the wire. Its possible cuz i did a rush job swapping the driveshaft at the last minute. But its very possible seeing what else happened that day.

the song.

before you remove your mask run your hobby knife along the edge to be sure it doesn't take the paint with it.
