Re: "News Truck" with Mini-Video Camera
Pretty cool. Is it 2.4ghz? Does it have an internal battery or do you still need to add one? Will you be able to bring it in under 5oz?

Re: Problems with car on stop section
How about using a small piece of bicycle tube on the back? It should grip well and you'll have lots extra after you cut up the tube.

Re: Iron on film instead of primer and paint
Sebastian, baking it wouldn't work. You have to iron the Monokote or Ultracote into place to even have it stick. These films are pretty tough and have a nice, slick surface. One year at Christmas, I Monokoted all the presents. My family was very unhappy with me. They said something about "We sh...

Re: Were goning back,back in time.
They look good, Speedbuggy. With the title of the thread, I expected a Delorean DMC-12 festooned with flux capacitors and such.

Re: Tucker's Hulk
I guess the alignment was a little off. It ran considerably better backwards than forwards.

Re: Jakes 2010 cub scout car
How hard does it dry? Is it gummy at all or is it like fiberglass resin when it's fully cured?

Re: Our first 2010 car
I haven't clear-coated it yet. I might just try the Minwax polyurethane that Sarge used before I sand it back down and respray it. It might be the gloss I need, if it doesn't react with it.

Tucker came in 2nd. Now, we have to mount the Hulk figure's torso on the car as a driver.

Re: I'm starting to think I'm in over my head.
It's a nice idea to show the others what a single mom can do, but don't completely rule out asking the other parents for some tool time. It's a great way to bond with them and their sons while working with your son.
