What's with the for sale ad?
sjcrss, I was a bit unhappy with 30k also so I mixed 30k and 50k to get around 40k and tried that. Then I did the same thing you did and just put 50k in my CD and I am still running this to this day. It still unloads, although much less, but wheelies sometimes so with some throttle control, I like it better with 50k.
Work began on the Baja body today, I found some pics of Herbie the love bug on the net and did what I could to replicate the stripes and the 53 number. I also made a special ERBE decal. I printed the decals on cheap photo paper and glued them on the inside of the body with
XXX Main Lexan picture glue. I have to let it set for 12 hours. I hope Disney doesn't sue for Copyrights.
I couldn't find rattle cans of the exact color for the body, Herbie is painted in some kind of Pearl grayish white. So I'll try a thin coat of white backed with silver in hopes that it resembles the real thing. I will also have a light gray patch on the roof to replicate Herbie's soft top. You probably notice that I didn't trim the body on the lines made by Proline, it just hads so much struture to the Baja by leaving a little Lexan all around. I also left a lot of Lexan below the doors to cover the ERBE's battery doors.
