Very cool!
I'm about to paint my first lexan body and need to be thrify. Mini-t bodies are cheap ($12-$15) so I'm going to try out some different paints starting with createx acrylic (thinned for airbrush) from Wal Mart or the craft store. I'm on a tight budget.
Also the Paasch VL looks like a good inexpensive airbrush. What do you think? Also, will a cheap compressor work okay as long as it has a moisture trap and pressure regulator?

hi guys...good to see you looking at my pics..
all the big cars are 1/5's..
paints..
i use the tamiya and fastcolours.................i would buy an airbrush that has the colour cup attached..the vl's get blocked too easily....i use the richpen range...they are good qulity and can take a variety of media.....
with the compreesors...the cheaper smaller units tend to pulsate...they canot keep up with guns...to get over this you have to make a storage tank (an old fire exstingisher)..or spend a bit more....

AAAAaaahhhh....i was thinking 1/5 was a little bigger.
Well, i think someone should make 1/2 scale...that'd be awesome!

they used one servo for the throttle body (simple enough)
the steering was done with air preasure the servo flipped a switch or something and that made it rotate. I wish I knew how they got the brakes to apply. could have been electronicly controlled I guess.

I'm pretty sure they used something like a hydraulic pump to push the brake pedal..
