FROM THE RADIOCONTROLZONE .COM BULLETIN BOARD

USER19193: I use food coloring to dye my rims, but I'd like them to be darker. Any advice out there?

STRIDER67: Buy a box of Rit clothing dye. One packet will easily dye two rims. Follow the directions on the package.

RAMOS: Although it sounds strange, I dye my plastic items with Kool-Aid. I just mix a packet with a cup of water.

BITURBO15: I just got a new 9-turn-double motor that makes my batteries really hot! Should I freeze them?

GRIZZ808: No, do not freeze your batteries. It will slow down the chemical reaction and will hurt the cells.

HIGHROLLER: Modified motors draw higher amperage than a stock motor, so you can expect the battery temperatures to get much hotter.

KOLD: Always allow your batteries to cool down before you change or use them.

NMT6789: I finished a new body, and now I need to make the holes for the body posts. How do I line them up properly?

YENDOR: Set your car on a glass table, and shine a flashlight on it from underneath. Mark your mounting holes with a permanent-ink pen. Body posts should not be too long.

RCWOODTEK: Align the body over the car, and rest it on the body posts. Dot the posts with a marker before you paint it.
