use a dymo labler, and it prints onto the heat shrink

cut it off, slide over wire, use heat source and it shrinks on

job done

300 niiiiiiiiiiiice

must say i love mine now, the old 8v was crap and wound me up a treat, but this engine is a musical instrument

with the next mods, i'll have a complete little racer, just need to learn tp drove properly next

i think 200 would be ideal though

Where you get all the Earls from Steve? Don't suppose it was from the name on the hat? Got a link please
