Hello,

Can you say to me if the arm superior of G4 is higher with the part K-Factory K14124 compared to the cell origin?

Thank you

[QUOTE=Tof]Hello,
Hi Tof,

Welcome.
Yes the part K14124 are very good.
It gives easier access to differential and you can adjust roll centres at the front.

This part give more steering?

Dude, thank you for the tip. I appreciate it. I have the parts you are talking about and will give this a go! Thank you bro!

Serpentd

SWEEEET!!

Serpentd

Thanks bro! Yes, I honestly should have only taken out the G4S since it was my new toy and all. But I'm hard headed (you know this ZOOM). But I love my 1/8th scale soooo much. Plus it's very easy to drive and never have problems with it. But 2 cars is a bit much if you run into troubles. The only good thing about running two cars is the extra track time and learning the track layout, however the two cars have to be driven differently, so changing from one to the other kind of takes a few laps to get use to. But it's fun as hell! Later bro!

Hey serpentd, were u down in colo springs this weekend? if so, we met. i'm one of the guys with the g4...

Serpentd

Thanks Gansie! I had my gremlins to work out which is normal for a new car. Needed to find out all the issues that would need to be addressed, which is exactly what happened. By the way...Dude, you ROCK!!! You had an awesome race! And your a TV star. I was very impressed with the sportmanship out there on the track. You don't always see it at that level, very impressive. You ran a great race my friend and we are all VERY PROUD of you! You did the G4S crew good my friend. Enjoy your success, you earned it my friend! Talk soon bro! Later.

Serpentd

Yeah bro!! I am the long hair freaky dude. I was meaning to talk with you at the race, but I had a busy day with reaquanting with everyone and a hectic race schedule. You were the one that helped me with your starter box. I appreciated that very much too, thanks! Next outing we need to hook up and exchange notes bro. I seriously thought that I would be the only G4S out there. Are we the only two? either way, I'm glad you came up to me! That's awesome man. I hope to see you on the forum more, I spend WAY too much time on this damn thing. But it's a blast with all these killer guys on here. So for sure we need to hook up sometime at the track. By the way, the Vegas race is coming up in April, can you make it out? would love to have some locals at that race. I never miss a Vegas race. Not sure if youv'e been there, but we need to get more aquanted!! I want my G4s to be on Sals ass soon! I will talk with you soon bro! Thanks again for the help at the track! Later!

Serpentd

Dude, hey! I'm not to sure how far it is to Vegas for you, but maybe we can hook up at that race. You need to race too! The "Big" races are much easier to drive the 2 cars since you have like 14 heats instead of 5, you know. Either way bro, it would be killer to hook up. And the Vegas track is SWEET! Very high traction and fast! Sort of like Gansei's track, but still a bit more technical. I believer it's on the 18th through the 22nd of April. Check it out, it's the 2007 Mugen race on the forum. If this doesn't work for you, we can still figure something out man. That's way cool of you to offer your assistance dude! We would have a blast in Vegas at the track. I never have time to go do the Vegas night life as I only go there to race. Think about it and let me know. Talk with you soon dude. Later.

Serpentd

Sorry for all the posts guys. But I do want to thank everyone for there support and all. It won't take me long to get this car down. After I had an ok set up, it was very easy to drive, just needed that steering is all. I will figure out my engine situation and all as well. So thank you very much guys for everything. This crew truley does kick ass!!!!

It gives you more set-up options to FIND more steering...............

It also looks very cooool

Dude, I'm so sorry for the late responce! It's wierd, I was just on my way home from work and remembered that you got your airbrush. I said to myself, I need to find that post and replly to help dude out! So I was just thinking of you my friend.

Anyway, I'm way stoked that you took the plunge into airbrush. You will learn to love it! OK, i'm guessing that you are going to be using propellant rather then a compressor, which is totally fine. However, I have never used propellant so I'm not sure on the output pressure (PSI) that it's rated. Why is this important, because if you use the waterbase paint, you need minimum of 50psi. I usually use about 70psi when I work with this paint. However, with lacquer, you only want about 25-30psi. Even if the propellant can reach 70 psi, you will go through it faster then to 25 psi. Now This is personal preferance on the type of paint but I still like the lacquer. But that might be because I have used it for almost 10 years and just started with the water base like the Parma Faskolor stuff. You airbrush should be capable to spray both types of paint. The tip and needle size needs to be a medium size for the water base. Medium or extra fine for the lacquer. Usually air brushes like your new one come standard wit a general perpose time that is medium, so you should be good regardless of the type of paint you use. I tried to look on the net for an output rating on propellants but couldn't find anything, but I think you will be fine with either paint.

If you go with the waterbase, you don't need to reduce it (thin it down) but with lacquer you do. And you simply use lacquer thinner for this, not paint thinner though. Paint thinner is for enamels like for plastic models. K.

I would recommend the lacquer, but cleanup needs to be done with the thinner. Water base paint, all you need for cleanup is warm tap water. You might want to get a bottle of say red or black of each type of paint to see what you like more. You can use these to practice with on some white poster board. When working with lacquer paint, the more opaque colors need more thinner in them then say flourescent and transluscent colors, which take little to no thinning at all. You can tell if you need to thin more because you will get cob webs on the edges of you work. I usually start with about a 40/60 mixture for the opaque colors like black, white, blue, red, yellow etc. 40% thinner and 60% paint. However with black and white I go 50/50. You'll get the hang of it bro. It might sound like a lot right now, but it is actually quite simple. You can actually just mix the paint right in the paint cup or bottle on the airbrush depending on what you use. I use those little paint cups most of the time.

So all in all, you might want to try both types of paint before you commit to one type and see what you prefer. I could go on forever, but this should be a good start. If you buy lacquer thinner, goto a hardware store and buy a quart for 6 or 7 bucks in stead of the small jars for 5 bucks at the hobby store. If you have any questions ANYTIME, let me know and I will help you every step of the way bro. I know your anctious to try your new gun out. I would be! So go get some paint and practice on some poster board. A good way to practice is to make straight lines like 6 to 12 inches long side by side. Practice going at different speeds and different distances from your poster board or cardboard. Whatever you use. I like the whit poster board because it give you great feedback. Like when you start a line, you want to have your hand moving before you push the trigger on the airbrush, also you want to keep your hand moving when you let off the trigger. If you don't you will end up with round dots at the beginning and end of your lines. You always keep your hand moving. This is a BIGGY!!!!

Like I said, I could keep going on and on but I hope this helped enough to get you started. Let me know if you need advice on anything. Good luck dude, and keep me/us posted on your progress here. Talk soon my friend! Later.
