Re: Questions for Ahh5hit

im a total newbie when it comes to zipzaps cuz i just got mine 2 days ago. (i live in Richmond Canada so its really hard to get more) and i have some questions about some mods.
1) What is the best way to lower your zipzap and how do you do it?
I like to tab lower the chassis, this way you can use it on multiple bodies. Just perform a search for "tab lowering" and you will find a tutorial I did.
2)Where can i find or how can i make an exhaust for my zipzap.
You can find them on the Import Tuner diecast. I have started using little aluminum tubes you cab get at the LHS. Also, roll sring pins can be found at hardware stores.
3)Any tips on how to paint decals or what kinds of paints to use?
I don't paint decals. I use Dupli Color automotive spray paint, it goes on really thin and even.
4)What techniques to use when painting?
If using rattle cans, use several light layers from about 12" and take your time. I usually do 2 passes at a time, with about 5 cycles.
I would love to see Ahh5hit answer these questions or anyone else.
5)This one is just for Ahh5hit, where do u get ur zipzaps and how many do u have? I buy them where everyone else does, Radioshack. I have at least 1-2 of every body and chassis, and lots of extras that I have modded. I have around 40 some chassis, and at least 60 bodies.
PS. I have an 2f2f eclipse, evo, and a 350Z if that matters
PPS. sorry its so long but i have a lot of questions and i need answers.
