Okay dude... I've watched all your project thread and none of them have pictures of ur project...Are you really working on them or are you jsut pretending cuz it gets frustating having project thread without pictures of it. Sorry if i am rude but its been like 5-6 project you've been doing without any pictures..

[xmodkidd33]

This sounds cool, paint the orange before the black though.

[2wdpancar]

Did you see my thread on XMF?
I did that trick before...good luck with it, you have to level the motor with metal or sticktape so it meshes correctly.

[stangdude94]

i just used a motor spacer like the 8-25 black and orange piece that goes under the motor and no i thought of this on my own

Are you using the outer teeth or inner teeth?
The outer teeth will require more than a s2 motor spacer.

[stangdude94]

i am useing the inner teath blt

edit but trying to find out how to use the outer teeeth

[2wdpancar]

Same concept, you'd need to flip it the other way, and raise it for proper mesh.
It's not hard if you know what you're doing.

lol seems the same thing happened to my first job in painting on my F150 >.<

[texan_idiot25]

Too heavy, too fast, and no prep work from what I can see.

[stangdude94]

thanks and i sanded the body down probly just not enough

[nitemeer]

you might of put too much paint on it.. without letting it dry for about 30min - 1 hour before recoating.. thats what i usually do.. spray a layer of and let it dry then respray again and again..
