Black Knight:

You got pics of the rear of that '300?

Looks like a checkered pattern in the rear portion of the car. What did you use for a mask?

Thanks,

YJ

Kraig,

I still get a link to "construction.html" off of your main page. I am trying to update the Tech homepage with the painting contest info (finally!) but I need to make sure I have the rules and everything correct.

I updated the front page anyway last night, check it out (http://www.rctech.net) and let me know if it looks about right. I had the email address as [email protected] as well, I wanted to double-check that it was correct.

Thanks!

Parma's literature claims Faskolor to be fuelproof for up to 30% nitro fuels. I've always backed Faskolor with a coat of Pactra spray can white if the body was going on a Nitro car. Not that I don't trust Parma, just habit.

Talking Faskolor!!

Faskolor is fuel proof to a point, especially so after a week. I wash out my bodies with a quick stream of hot water then shake-em dry and let them sit-UNTOUCHED. I dont wipe them out when wet!!! I have noticed traction compound, rubber, oil, etc. come out with plain old hot water very well. I just wipe out the windows so they dont have spots on them.

So more in detail, I let tap water get hot first, hold body by rear and wash out body from back (wing area) to front. This way I can get all that rubber out of the rear wing area like on my 12th scale and 1/8th On-road bodies. Teh shake excess water out and let air dry.

And yes, FASKOTE is a great way to coat underside of bodies.One more tip-If you are painting a body to be used tomorrow-better put a coat of Faskote on it and dry it very well from coat to coat with a hairdryer. If you arent using the body for a few weeks, skip the cover coat and save weight, save smell, save material!!!!

I just re-did a scheme from about a year ago. The Losi Stratus ( left ) in the second picture is the original.

Hey guys what defines a "pro" painter???

Also has anyone come up with any solid differences between the "R" version of Alcad and the regular stuff? I haven't tried the "R" version yet, and have had good luck with the regular stuff- so what's the big deal?
