Try posting in "Die Casts & Collectibles". Someone there can probably help.

What type of decals are you wanting? Depending on what you want, find some pics on the net, downlaod & print them what ever size you want on clear window sticker sheets. Avery #53203 (clear) or a shipping label (if you need white). Save a buck or 2 & custom size what you want.

Rc car hmmm........here is mine.....

Good idea - would not have thought about doing it that way.

Go to a local hobby shop and get some blank printable decal sheets. They are available in clear or white backed and you can print anything you want to on them. They also have a spray called decal set that once you print them from your laser or ink jet printer (be sure to get the right kind of paper, clearly marked on it) you spray over it kind of like a gloss or sealant so the ink doesn't run. Let it dry for a day or so and then you are ready to apply just as you would any standard decal.

thanks for the tips, I love your cars, I just got a 1/10 scale nitro, and I am in the process of fixing the body to match my C5 at least color. What tires are you running, I am thinking of going with a wider tire.

I got mine off the big auction. They are slick but not drifting tires. I wanted to get wider tires but the price is outragous. To go to wide with soft rubber was going to cost me over $100.
