The color I used on the skyline is #08 amber ruby dont know the brand off top $4 a bottle at walmart. The color I used on the civic is made by Naturistics and is called flippin' $2 a bottle I poured polish in a 1/4 oz. bottle to the red line in the picture I used around 4-5 drops of airbrush thinner from the syringe looking thing you dont want it too thin but thin enough it wont clog the airbrush have a heat gun or a blow dryer that blows out hot air so just in case you make a mistake or put a fingerprint on it it will smooth it out you can use as many coats as you want use the blow dryer to smooth it out give it about a week to cure and youll be ready to ride. The good thing about this stuff it doesnt scratch crack or peel like paint for even more protection you can go over it with one coat of finger nail clear. I had rollovers wipeouts anything you can imagine that would scratch the paint up but the paint job still looks fresh  Hope this helps any.

Hey can You post a Tutorial on how You did Your Boost function. And The modifications You did to the controller to get it to work. Thanks

So all it is another button for Hi/Low Trim button whick is on the top of the controller, If thats the case it does look alot cooler than the plain black switch at the top of the controller? Is that what it is or is it controlling the boost of the 6 cells? idk

4.8v normal when I push the button 7.2v thats why I consider it as a boost button actual voltage may vary but theres a 2v gain when switching from low to high

A blast from the past gets a new makeover Veilside meets Wings West. This was my very first xmod that I painted and mod over a year ago. Now it doesn't have a chassis anymore but this car soon will be reborn.
