Thanks!

I use a Q-Tip. I will set my throttle trim so the wheels move on there own (as slow as possible. I then drop a small amount of CA glue on the q-tip and apply to a moving tire while slowly rotating the q-tip. I will put another drop or so on the q-tip and apply again. I repeat this until i have the coverage I desire. Wear eye protection! If you get to much CA glue at a time on the tire it will fling off.
Oh and I only do the fronts.

when the metal tip clogs, take a lighter to it. Good as new.

Lots of Rpm's in this 17.5t icon motor, but I am trying to find more 21.5t motor numbers out there....

As soon as my 21.5T arrives, I'll post the sticker. Should (hopefully) be shipping by the end of this week.

The numbers matter to see if the motor manufacturers are about the same and as close to the Roar limit(27.3 per phase) as possible...I always see trinity motors right on the limit, while others are not... I guess that's the big trinity secret that causes alot of controversies. My FR-1 v3t motors are close enough to the trinity rockets to compete without too much suspicion: no need to worry too much about motors when all the different manufacturers' numbers are posted....Post them up guys !!!!

Got the body...actually, two of them (one for "practice" body, one for "race" body)...but, until I finish building my T4, can't run it. Well, that, and the fact that my new airbrush & compressor haven't been delivered yet.
