so far I have motor and power wire upgrade with 6 cells to boost my spinbrush upgraded motor and to control it all I modified my controller with a boost button. lots and lots of weight reduction, an aluminum drive shaft. I tilted the rear wing forward a little, with the speed this thing has I think it might actually be functional. It goes 40ft. in 2.22secs. drag time

Very nice indeed! You can really see the changine effect more so than with most camelion type paints. What brand was it?

Good work!

Believe it or not its fingernail polish with the right mixture of fingernail polish and airbrush thinner youll get nice results and going over it with some fingernail clear and fingernail hardener and airbrush thinner youll have a combination that I believe is way more reliable than any paint Ive ever used. This was a rushed job and it still took 2 weeks or so for the color to harden and 1 week for the clear I first tried it on the zip zaps long ago,no chipping or peeling what so ever.

It looks like the kind of paint TVR uses nowadays.
Excellent.

if your talking about the controller turbo button I just hooked 2 wires to the throttle trim and ran the wires outside from the first half of the controller then inside to the second half and positioned the button for my thumb so actually its the same as switching the throttle trim from high to low but only with the press of my thumb.
