first try with econokote

[M2/S2 Racing]

Finally got to the hobby shop and picked some up. Went on really easy and I just used a cotton t-shirt and a old clothes iron. This is my new BASX car "Sun Burst" my wife picked the name this time.

Just packing it up to send out tomorrow. I'm happy with how the kote came out and i'm looking forward to the race!!!!!

Make sure you always check your alignment, even after covering. There were a few occasions where I believe I warped my body because I "shrunk" the monokote too much. It could have been me and a poor drill that I did not catch or the covering, or a combination of both, who knows. I have not done that in a while, but I always check anyway.

Thanks B. I was keeping an eye on it. Was watching for any twisting aND the such. The iron was on low so I was able to check it often as it was adherring. Also why I ironed my finger hahaha. I don't recommend that.

Hey, can you explain what your race name means? Thanks brother!

its part of an equation you can use to find out the loss of energy due to friction

A Joule is equal to Newton x meter, and a Newton = mass x acceleration. The unit for mass is kg and for acceleration is m/s^2. So if a Joule = Newton x meter, it equals [(kg)(m/s^2)] x m. The x meter makes the meter on top squared so you get Joules = kg x m^2/s^2. Its substitution.

I googled that. I am by no means a math person and on a side note the letters are the first letters of my name and my wife's name
