Its a plastic world out there

There are too much plastic in our society, worst its can be found on our daily food consumption everyday. Plastic is not something that our body can digest nor have any useful property into our system. It can cause intestine twisting, ulcer or worse cancer if the plastic successfully disintegrate into smaller particle able to sip though our body tissue and into our blood vein. In real world plastic is used to preserve food cosmetically to increase sales profit by long run but at the same time risking having food hazard to consumer health. This week i accidentally ate what can possibly be a plastic coating to coat sausages rather than natural layer of consumable gelatin. So i ate two of it until i realized my sister warn me to remove those plastic coatings the next day later. Puzzled and stunned i was shock to realized how such thing that looks very consumable everyday item can be plastic when common sense says you could. Worse i deep fried it and i knew the plastic already melted with the meat and i consumed. Well i hope my body could withstand such abuse from tainted hazardous food. 5 days later when having breakfast in the city the same sausages with plastic coatings found inside the food as i could feel it seems too hard to tear down the meat. OMG! plastic seems to be every where and part of normal life which no one seems to notice. I hate to knew the fact that food produces seems to ignore safe food consumption but instead get over high volume of profit through easy and fast production. Sucks indeed.. i should get back to the kitchen and make my own food.

KYOSHO MINI-Z Body shell installation (REAL DRIVE edition)

TUTORIAL: HOW TO INSTALL AULDEY (REAL DRIVE EDITION) BODY SHELL INTO MINI-Z CHASSIS
__________________________________________________________________________________

This is a special tutorial for all MINI-Z community and fans out there especially my buddies at http://www.rctech.net .


Before you start you need to prepare this tools and material:

1. Narrow pliers
2. Screw driver
3. Super Glue (BOSTIK/SELLEY)
4. KYOSHO/I-WAVER side/door body clip 1 pair
5. VELCRO strap. (the one that have furry zippy strap used to secure school shoes instead of using shoe lace).

__________________________________________________________________________________


Ok then lets mod:

1. First remove the screw from AULDEY main chassis and extract the body shell

Picture: (All AULDEY models body are secured by two screw infront which you have to remove first, remove the black plastic top. The side of the body however is snap locked to a body clip just like mini-z which you can remove it by expanding the wall outwards creating big gap for the chassis tab to escape just like how you remove your MINI-Z chassis.... infact the installation of the BODY shell process on AULDEY is similar to MINI-Z except front of AULDEY is secured by screw)

2. Inside you'll see some LED lighting wires kit dangling around, stick it with tape so it won't hanging around freely, don't remove the wires and LED set yet because who knows you might need it for cool lighting mods.

Picture: (Careful when remove, the light kits wire still connected)

Picture: (Here's my AULDEY SUBARU body shell with instant wire patched to the inner body to avoid it from exposed/touching the antenna and motors)

3. You'll notice there's a plastic pillar on both side of the inner door, glue the door CLIP TABS on both side of the inner door.

Picture: (Here how i attached the two BODY CLIP TABS to the wall with super sticky glue)

4. Done? Then drill a hole on the roof of the chassis where you antenna should poke out from the shell.

Picture: (The carefull when you drill an ABS type plastic)

5. Go to the front nose, stick a VELCRO STRAP using double tape to secure the VELCRO STRAP. The other VELCRO strip you stick it on the front nose of the mini-z chasis so that when you place the body shell the front nose of the body will meet the front nose chassis and the VELCRO will stick together just like a school shoes VELCRO STRAP.

Picture: (Place one side of the VELCRO STRAP on the front nose body shell)

Picture: (Place another opposite side of VELCRO STRAP on the nose of the chassis in the position where both strap meet and stick when closed together).

6. That's it, you're ready to use the body. Make sure you adjust the "T-PLATE" on the chassis the accomodate different body length of AULDEY BODY SHELL between each wheel base.
