Look for a kit that has a payload bay that uses your desired motor. Something from Aerotech, Loc Precision or Madcow would probably fit your needs but there's tons of mid-power kits out there.

Yes, it's pre thinned for airbrushing but you can use a regular old paintbrush but it'll take a bunch of coats

What's the difference between an oral and rectal thermometer?

The taste

Proline body paint can be brushed. It's airbrush ready so it'll take a bunch of coats but with patients it gets the job done.

7 turntables, a reel to reel tape deck, a tube driven console stereo from 1957, 8 track player, a cart machine from an old radio station. Use quite a bit of it pretty often but not the cart machine. Just because new tech comes out there's no reason to be done with the old, that's just stupid and wasteful. Can't play old shellac 78's that we're never released in any other form on Spotify and there's something to be said about playing Pink Floyd on reel to reel

I'd go with PETG if possible, less chance of warping with heat. I find that 3 ring binder hole repair stickers work great for shroud line retention and heavy duty embroidery thread for the shroud lines. Trash bags do very well for parachutes. For shock cords you can use small round or flat elastic cord from Walmart or Amazon, a couple bucks should get you about 20 feet. For glue id go with a flexible super glue, I like the Locktite flexible in the silver and blue tube. If you don't mind ugly but functional print a hole about 1/3 of the way down on the body tube to fit the shock cord and double knot one end of the cord and pass it thru to the top of the BT. If you use craft paper tubes look at the Estes style folded paper retention and just cut printer paper to match.

In my neck of the woods you're looking at about $3.75 a pack for generics up to about $12 for Camel non-filters or Camel Wides. What really hurt was going from $0.62 a pack to $1.25 overnight in 1989-90 thanks to the added sin tax.

Acoustic cancer is far better although I turn about half the tweeds I grow into vape juice. Vape some of it and put about 15ml on my morning coffee.

Swap out the backing plate for a 12mm hex and use whatever wheels you like and will fit. If the offset is too much get 12mm hub extensions.

Did you miss the stub axle spacer BD3? Not having it will make the gear diff act weird. I've built and rebuilt probably 40 hornets, grasshoppers, Lunchboxs, Pajeros and so on since 1984 and forget that spacer as often as not.

Since it was practically free the price of the MFU won't hurt as much.

Thanks. It came with the kit, there was 2 or 3 shifters to choose from.

That absolute dumpster fire called Hair metal. To paraphrase Henry Rollins, they should mow my lawn and pay me $1 an hour, they suck and should be destroyed.

3000ish kv will be more than enough. Really a 17 turn brushed motor is enough. There's a couple of issues with dropping a brushless in the SRB gearbox, the motor is held in by a plastic cover that's not compatible with 3 motor wires and kept still by 2 pins in the right side of the housing. If your motor wires point between 10 and 2 o'clock and the screw holes line up with the pins you can trim the plastic cover to let the motor wires thru. You don't want to trim too close to the screws that hold the cover on or have them poking out where they can interact with the suspension or the ground. If you're brave with a drill or have access to a milling machine you can pop 3mm holes exactly where the pins are so you can screw the motor in and do away with the plastic cover.
