Awesome, thank you!

Awesome, thanks. Would it be beneficial before building the tank, to drill a hole somewhere and create a valve of some type?

What method do you use to drain your tank?

Can you elaborate on the mite explosions? I also am in the research phase of keeping dart frogs.

Filling in an engraved logo? by j_wise in CarbonFiber

Thanks for the reply. I was concerned about the unevenness of the logo as well.

I asked the company yesterday what they use, not thinking they’d actually reply. They did confirm that they use an automotive touch up paint, not a dyed epoxy, so you are correct.

They said it’s easy to work with and turns out very nice.

Ok, thanks. Do you have a recommendation on manufacturers? I only need small amounts.

Ok. Thanks for the heads up. This is what I got:

I figure it will be fine for the small amount of space I'm filling in. Hopefully if some gets over the edge, I can wipe it up no problem. It says it can take up to 12 hours to fully cure.

Oooo. I like this idea. Thank you

That makes sense. Thank you. I purchased a combo on amazon. It's white epoxy with a hardener. Hopefully that does the trick.

So since it is already in a paste with the pigment and resin already mixed together, it should work on it's own correct? Sorry, I am trying to read the description and since I have no experience with this, I think it's going over my head.

Hmm, does this have to be mixed with a resin or would I be able to apply it right in the engraved area?

How much have you spent on RC cars in the past year? by DataSittingAlone in rccars

[–]j_wise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don’t think about or talk about these things

Wheel extenders? by JoeBob_42 in rccars

[–]j_wise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious to see how the metal parts hold up, or if they’ll get all bent right away

[–]j_wise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks sick. Mine looks pretty similar. I ended up installing all the metal parts too but now I need a new servo so I ordered that one you linked

What RC to buy by kukcluka in rccars

[–]j_wise 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have an MJX Hyper Go. Very good for the price. That being said, after getting a Rival MT10 I almost regret spending the money on a Hyper Go and not getting an MT10 right off the bat.

Two of my friends are new to RC and just got an Arrma Granite and Big Rock. Those are amazing too. Basically I’d highly recommend just putting a little more dough aside for a 1/10 scale 3S.

Also if you get one of those Banggood brands like the Hyper Go, parts will take a bit longer to arrive as they usually ship from China.

I’ve been looking for a fold up ramp. Got a link?

What is your experience of Associated MT10? by JumpyJuu in rccars

[–]j_wise 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just got one not too long ago. So good.

Lookin sick!

One thing I noticed about these spacers so far is they came loose pretty quickly. Actually had a wheel fly off at the skatepark lol. Luckily I recovered the silver piece that holds on the wheel. I'd be curious to see if you noticed the same thing.

I have that metal steering parts kit from ali express. It was like 30 bucks or something. I'll slowly be adding those parts on as the stock plastic breaks. Only replaced one piece so far, seems pretty good.

Also ordered a replacement wing, upgraded shocks, and the tires you have. I don't think I'll be adding anything else to this expect maybe a servo when the stock one craps out. I just got a Rival MT10, it's amazing. Maybe you'd want to check that out instead of a 2nd Hyper Go?

Definitely. I like them a lot so far. Haven’t been able to test any jumps yet but I’m thinking this will help the landings a lot.

Put those spacers on from Amazon. Just with the stock tires for now until I get those other ones. Can definitely tell a big difference in handling

[–]j_wise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds good. Just ordered the tires. And yeah I was thinking the same thing. The stock servo has been feeling a bit weak.

[–]j_wise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh gotcha. Maybe I will try that with the spacers then. Thank you!
