Only scrape on inevitable speedbumps...

what base / clears are you using? acrylic urethanes? acrylic lacquers? acrylic enamels? which one(s) do you like best? Going to paint my Talon and the Starion before I paint the vert... I've used Deltron base / clear with awesome results - f'n expensive paint though!

DO NOT MIX MATCH s4 and s5 rotors, they are completely different. The weight and compression ratios are different. You have to use the same series and compression ratio in a pair.
