I then sanded the blue top coat off in places to expose the iron paint, and applied the activator to get the rust. I then put a clear coat on it to lock the rust in.
Too many kings to pick from but here's what I went with..

My mom's turning over in her grave. She'd be so pissed if she saw this..
My 2.5 year old is starting to understand his little rc car that only goes forward or makes a backwards U turn. What is a good next car if he continues to spend time on this?

This one is great. It's slow enough to not get away from them, but will still crawl over stuff. It runs on 6AA's, we used rechargeables.Quote:

I bought this one as a Christmas gift for my 3.5yo, based on advice in this thread. It's an awesome value and quite capable. X2 on rechargeable batteries. The controls will take the little ones some time to learn. My son has big hands and can't do the reverse function without his other hand . Mom and dad have fun crawling it over the kid toys in our family room.Quote:

My son got Christmas money and bought a super cheap RC truck from CVS. Thankfully it was (shockingly!) defective and we took it back. To assuage him, I let him order one of those cheap, weird, each side's wheels can flip, stunt vehicles from Amazon. It's only been two days, but we're having a very good time running it around the house. It's basically a skid steer and when if flips you have to reverse directions on the little control sticks, so it's tricky. It has no throttle modulation at all. I've basically been chasing him around trying to hit him with it. It's really the best of all worlds in me getting to drive all the time and him burning energy. He's eventually going to step on it and break it as he dodges/jumps over it, but with a $30 vehicle, I'm happy to jump it off things and run it near his dodging feet and have a good time while it lasts.

Update: this thing is awesome. Gave her/me the console for Hannukah, with Mario Kart and Tennis. For Xmas I gave Zelda and Mario + Rabbids.Quote:

And I bought a wired controller, screen protector, and that case that was linked.
It's been a great addition to our house.
My boy got a 6s battery for his Kraton, and my brother rnade him a ramp. We tested em out this evening.

9 year old got a new body for his kraton for Xmas. We finally got around to painting it today. He did a lot of the work masking, painting, and stickers. And while there are a few defects if you look close, it really came out quite good. Not a bad way to spend am afternoon.
He's super stoked.Attachment 405646Attachment 405648Attachment 405649

Looks rad, well done!
No shit. I could spend hours sandboxing the toys on this thread I’m impressed.
Is there nobody here show a cool model railroad?

Getting some testing done on this custom crawler.Attachment 411251
Oddball Lipo question if anyone could oblige. Why is an eg 3S lipo sold as 11.1v, but you charge it to 12.6v? Why not just call them 12.6v in the first place?
That is its nominal or storage voltage. You can safely charge LiPo's to 4.2 v per cell...so a 3s has a max voltage of 12.6 v but a nominal or storage voltage of 3.7 v per cell or 11.1 v. You don't want to keep them at full charge (12.6 v) for more than a few days...they can start to puff up and lose their capacity and have a higher likely hood of catching fire or exploding.
I get that. Understand completely lipo storage and full charge voltages, handling, etc. Just a hair up my ass kind of thing I can't seem to get over.
yeah, but could he work this? I mean, they howl with supersonic sound!Quote:

Might need that fancy RSR technic next.
The rock racer looks badass. I haven't played with one of those. How tough? Fun to bash around?Quote:

It’s fun. Totally different than a basher like you use them. High speed over rock gardens and loose is really where it excels. Then still capable to do some trail running. Small jumps are ok, but I haven’t sent it big yet.Quote:

Yeah, I might have a problem.....
