if you get tired of the body..then change it somehow..change the spolier, the colors, the rims.etc

[payaso]

tinyrc do you keep track of the exact time we registered?

[tinyrc]

Yes, why?

[Strider-]

I just always thought that i was the second one signed up, after Drac........but i can't remember, and if the members list is right, that makes me the first person to have registered :) next to you of course..

[tinyrc]

Oh, well you can tell by looking at your profile:

http://tinyrc.com/forums/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=2

See how you are userid=2 ? So you are the first after me!

[Strider-]

Where does it say userid=2 ?
I can't find it.....

*edit* NM i found it in the URL......

[arch2b]

this is my second decal overhaul, qfm style.

Namuna Edit: Keep it to 400px or less please.

[kbtoyz902]

alright, we gotta do this SPOON style, for all you S2000 fans:

[ckw01hk]

And heres my GT one. I got inspiration from the Bit CharG Grand Prix site.

[kbtoyz902]

I still dont get how thats a choro q body still. Can you tell me how that worked so i can make one too?

[arch2b]

Namuna,
sorry for the large file. i had the image open for editing in another program when i attached it and it brought the background with it. that's the first time it's happened, i'll have to remember to close the file prior to attaching it.
i wanted to post a pic of my second transformers themed cars (jazz). this was done on a microsizers body (I have several), in my opinion, are not the quality of the japenese tomys'. the paint seems to be somewhat translucent in spots and tiny, tiny imperfections. For $7, I’ll take it though. the picture also is a little fuzzy, sorry.

[ckw01hk]

Actually there are 2 types of choroQ cars, one is the most original pull toys of one-off body and chassis design; and the other one is the speed racing design, the body is made into 3 parts: front, middle and the rear. people would use the racing model to make a conversion.
Easy saying: lengthen the body and re-model it by putty.
But in fact it is a really large project

[ckw01hk]

And I have my latest black spoiler & rims model.

[arch2b]

ckw01hk,
nice car! great pictures as well. i wish i could get such quality close-ups with my camera.

[ckw01hk]

thx arch2b, i used macro in my DC.
I have another method if you want to have a close up but using cam than don't have short focal lenght: try putting a convex lens in front of the camera and put them close to the subject.....wow, u will get a nice close up.
but the drawback is little distortion.

[JimBob]

I just saw these cool Wheels (http://frenetic.com.au/shop/category99_1.htm) on the net, do you think they would be able to out on a BCG?

James

[cryhavok]

unfortunately not jimbob, those rims are made for Auldey race tins, which are about the same size as a mini-z.

[burningtea]

check this out, tint, and reflective tape

[MicroRCracer]

here is my veilside toyota supra!!:D i know its not customized, but it does look like it already with this cool body kit... anyways, it features a reliable 2.2 engine with the fastest gear ratio gear set and a nimh battery of 1.2v 120mah...

[MicroRCracer]

very cool using the reflective tapes!!!
haven't thought of that!
never seen it before either.
:thumbup::cool:

[cryhavok]

Yes very cool idea with reflective tape...gets me thinking, I wonder if anyone has painted their body with glow in the dark paint and gotten a big black-light and had a nighttime race. Would probably look pretty cool and fun

Here's my Castrol Nismo GTR SE, only visual mod is I just put in some LED's...

[MTL]

and does it come off easily?

[arch2b]

cryhavok,
nice looking lights!

the tape ws about two times thicker than the regular scotch tape.
and dont worry about the tape being sticky after you take it off

[MTL]

you have some steady hands and great skill! it looks good. my hands are way to shaky to put a dremel next to a body. i have to use the aligator clip stand just to do soldering on my bit.
