Stock these aren't the most impressive cars Lights & siren Throttle epa backed down to 40% and my camera man is not used to working with rc cars

Looks like in second post i screwed up my markup stuff, and can't edit. Hopefully i can edit soon, otherwise i'll have to start that one all over. Oh yeah! i've spent a lot of time watching intermodel show videos, and videos from many other trucker haus locations. Most of the people at our...

That's an awesome story! I'm amazed you were able to make that happen. I hope he knew how much that ment to your son. With the reruns we got, i was always really into Dragnet and Highway Patrol. So at this point i had a runner on a 6 ch radio, without many features yet. I got the headlights...

I got in with a group of people running 1/14 scale radio control realistic models of mostly Trucking and Construction equipment. There are meets all over the country and world where we'll usually setup a city, mine sites, farms, warehouses... I like tv and movie stuff, i like cars, there aren't...

Re: Printing/Transferring a picture on metal - any ideas? try something like this? http://www.instructables.com/id/Creating-Printed-Circuit-Boards-with-a-INKJET-Prin/

Not all about that either.Guess i should just be happy it's not some white vacuform sleek cover over it, or like an iMac case integrated in there instead of the stupid toolbox or air diffuser.

i know they had plywood back in the '50s as its used a lot in that era houses in sheets and laminated cabinetry.But had phillips screws actually taken off enough by then outside of mass produced stuff to make it to the salvaged parts on the scooters?these look great!

wow, that looks great! I wasn't sure what I expected out of cardboard crossbow, but I'm amazed. is it going to get cables and string, or would that make it too realistic in the eyes of police? how rigid do you want it? cheapest option would be a couple passes of clear coat paint, should...

You *might* be able to damage foam it if you mix WAY too hot, but it would usually overcure it and cause cracks and ruin the bondo too. Just aim for mixed product to be same pink as their mix paddles. I've had good luck with it on green floral foam, insulation board foam, and packing styrofoam.

A skim coat of Bondo (automotive body filler) or Glazing/Spot Putty (if acts somewhere between bondo and a high build primer) over the foam core, and more sanding would give you a smooth hard paintable surface. If you work its surface with something like a brush or bag right before it cures you...

I don't love the new Ecto 1. But at least it only needs: suspension work, shocks, brake disks, brake pads, brake linings, steering box, transmission, Rear end, new rings, muffler, and some wiring... Got it for a steal! The big stupid yellow gumball light is probably a new city regulation...

without knowing what type resin that is, I'd try warming a test piece of it to around 150-200F to see if it cures, with heatgun or oven. I'd be very careful not to go too hot or it could overcure and trash the piece. Could have just been a bad batch from the factory too.
