I have a problem when spray painting the body.
(Dripping)
Maybe you are spraying too close or too much. Allow
about 30cm distance between the spray nozzle and the
model. When the paint reaches the model, it should
produce a slightly wet look that disappears in a few
seconds. Spray two or three times for a beautiful finish.
Cracks appeared over the body. Why?
Too many paint layers cause cracks, especially on clear
parts. Only 1 or 2 layers are recommended.
I need spray paint which is not available in our country,
could you send spray paint to me directly?
Unfortunately, we can not send you spray paint via mail
or courier because spray paint is a flammable product.
Please contact your local agent.
What is the proper thinning ratio for airbrushing?
Proper ratio for paint thickness differs according to
weather conditions. Rough guidelines of thinning ratio is
2:1-3:1 ( Tamiya Acrylic paint : thinner).
Can I paint with lacquer spray over a model coated with acrylic or enamel paint?
Please do not apply a lacquer overcoat, as it could
damage the acrylic or enamel paint layers.
Can I spray a clear layer over the decals?
Lacquer paint & thinners attack the decals. Therefore,
we do not recommend coating the model with TS13
"Clear" after decal application. Of course, there is no
problem about spraying the model prior to applying the
decals.

How fast is my car?
Speed of your R/C car is affected by pinion gear, spur
gear, motot and wheel combinations. Speed also
depends on if your model is electric or is a glow-engine
car. For these reasons, is is difficult to give an exact
speed.
How can I make my car faster?
First of all, we recommend you attach ball bearings
to your car if your car doesn't have them already.
Second, change the motor. Third, change the pinion
gear which is available for your car. However, high
gear ratio reduces the starting speed. So select it
according to each circuit very carefully. (See your
instructions for the pinion gear)
About running battery.
For the best performance, please discharge the battery
completely before recharging it.
What is the best chassis?
Every chassis has its own characteristics. We
recommend you ask your local agent to help you
choose the appropriate chassis according to your use,
your budget, etc...
I lost the instructions. Can you send it to me?
We recommend you contact your local retailer or local
agent listed
on our web site.
