Hi folks,
entered the SCX proxy rally and bought a WRC 307 as it said it was eligible on the slotforum thread. Got it home to find it had a RX81-B motor which is inelgible - I've since had a thread on auslot sent to me that shows my car is non-compliant. Grrrr. Has anyone got either an RX81 motor they would sell or swap for a spanking new RX81-B (properly run in) or got an RX81 motored car they would flog me? Cheers, Martyn -------------------- |

Cheers, Martyn alright mate do you have the link to this thread? Im having the same issue with a citreon c4, hopefully one of my club mates will have a spare motor but they dont want to be opening all their rally cars to check a list would be really good. cheers tom -------------------- ++++

I'll dig it up and show you the link soon Tom, I think it was either in Events or Rally and Raid.

No surprise you couldn't find it! It was a link hidden in one of the posts - goes to the Ausslot site.

Haha, never mind.
OK, daft question time: how do you rub down between coats? I've primed mine ready for airbrushing (I've got a new compressor coming on Saturday). Just tried a brush job while I was waiting and it's a right old mess. Cheers. -------------------- |

1) if i have streaks i very lightly sand it with 2000 grit wet and dry, i dont use it wet im not sure how.
2) I hand paint all of my cars, the trick is to use lots of thin coats rather than try and get it in one thick coat. I also use a flat square brush rather than a regular round brush. the paints used will make a big difference as well i use vallejo model acrylics or revell aqua colour. I would never ever use tamiya, humbrol or games workshop paint for flat car colours as the paints are too thick for hand brushing. -------------------- ++++

I should have another 2 brand new RX81s later this week. I could swap one for your 81B if it's any help to you. -------------------- Best regards,
