and i can finally start putting the pieces together as i've finally cleaned out my shed to use as my workshop
what spraypaint would you guys reccomend to paint hdpe ? we tried polycarbonate paint but it just started to flake off after it dried
Hammertite spray paint for cars?
It's hard to find pain for it, it's annoying stuff, can't be glued or any thing, not a majour thing though, maybe using an undercoat or primer?
Try roughing the surface up slightly too, might help to make the paint stick better.
With Eric Jr i've given up on paint and i'm using vinyl wrap from ebay. Probably works out cheaper than spray paint too at about £2 per A3 sheet.
the materials for building minor tom:
now i truly believe that the internet is trolling me, 2 30a esc's come up for sale in the few days after i spent the money that could have got me them
got the battery packs soldered today, now waiting for my heatshrink to arrive
where did you get the heatsink from?
