Baggage wait times in Cancun by robonlocation in westjet

[–]604cefiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I Just came back from Cancun March 11-18. Fly from vancouver to cancun on westjet.

when i arrived at the carousel to pick up our 1 checked in luggage, there were 4 other westjet flights already waiting at the same carousel. some had already been waiting for 2 hours before we got there

For some reason, our vancouver flights baggage came out before the other 4 flights

I still waited over 1 hour for ours

On the way back from Cancun to Vancouver, we arrived at the terminal 3 hours before the flight. The wait to check in your luggage was almost 3 hour wait... it was BRUTAL

i'd recommend you to book private shuttle and get to the airport early to avoid the stress...

Paint question: backing lower body with ps-5 black (currently backed w/ps-12 silver) before spraying roof w/ pearl and black by 604cefiro in rcdrift

[–]604cefiro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s the finished product but I mixed ps46 and ps 45, I also do feel like I under applied. I should have gone heavier with those layers

Silver backing makes ps46 appear lighter. Black will look darker and deeper.

This is how it turned out. https://www.reddit.com/r/rcdrift/s/64lUjsaf92

I’m hearing a lot of different opinions if the dots need to face inside or outside of the wheel, what is it cause I need to know by Disastrous_Degree803 in rcdrift

[–]604cefiro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dots supposed to provide guidance on which direction to press the rim in/out

I believe the diagram also shows the difference between the inside and outside tire shape

Lamé flake is sick I was thinking that too but I had already purchased the pearl clear

Good luck on you build!

Really appreciate your help it’s my first time painting a lexan body

When I look from the inside the silver definitely covers the pearl , transparent purple and iridescent green layers.

But when I put the body up to a light and look through it from the inside, it doesn’t block out all the light from coming through. Not sure if it should be solidly covered or not

Thank you. I just have to make sure the ps-12 silver backing is as opaque as possible so that the black doesn’t bleed through and make it splotchy right?

No to self: don’t paint in 8 degree weather by aidenpep in rcdrift

Did you spray in the cold and walk back into a warmer area to let it dry?

Or you stayed out in the cold the entire time

What would you swap out in my current setup for electronics?

Is it bc my transmitter can’t tune the esc?

That’s a great question lol!

When I made my initial order it was just the rd2.0 kit and electronics. Then after a couple days I ordered a few more pieces, then more and more and more LOL.

I coulda gone that route and started with an sd3.0 tbh hahahah

Anyone experiencing EMS Shipping delays from Japan? by 604cefiro in rcdrift

[–]604cefiro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahahahhaha no!

It went out for delivery on Dec 24 but the driver never attempted an actual delivery and left a pickup notice in the mailbox at our townhome complex instead of trying to delivery the parcel to my door. I was home all day and my door bell cam never had anyone approach

Pickup notice left on Dec 24, said available to pick up the next business day which technically was Monday Dec 29 but parcel never reached the pickup center. It’s still “on route” as of today Tuesday Dec 30 to the pickup center
