I just got mine back from the paint shop. I’ll be installing them later this week. I will let you know if I experience any wind flap. I sure hope not!

Those look good bud!  My pic posted above was of the non painted flares. Rcx sent me  another set bc of the wind flap. Had those painted and then they started flapping. ?. Somehow the rear clips came off on passenger side and that flare ended up cracking... not having a good run w these so far. They do look good tho. Still waiting for some further resolution w the peeps at Rcx. I actually drilled holes and used some screws on the back flares to keep them in place. Would do that to the fronts but there’s no place to screw into at where the flares flap. Anyway..... hope yours work out better than mine. Lol

Update regarding the wind flap....  couple weeks ago I was whining to the guys at rcx about it and they finally told me they would send me another install kit and that I should remove the flares, remove the rubber seal and install the new rubber piece. Well I was kind of a smartalec and basically said I’m pretty sure I installed it right the first time and that I don’t understand the physics of how that will make a difference just by changing the rubber piece and reinstalling the clips. Well..... turns out they changed the rubber piece. It now has 3m tape to attach the seal to the flare and another strip of 3m tape to attach the flare to the whole fender. That should solve the flapping problem for sure. Just wish the dude would have told me they changed it up so I wouldn’t have been such a punk. Lol. Anyway I’ll keep you posted as to the difference it makes.
 

Htown T1, I hope yours have the double sided tape.

This is good info....my install kit does have the double sided tape. Hopefully this is the fix because these are the only flares in the market that I like. I appreciate the update!

Good deal... I’m putting the rcx 6” lift on it tomorrow. Hopefully I’ll be able to get around to swapping the seal out on the flares this weekend

316hepster, sorry for the delay. I finally got around to installing them earlier today. Love the way they look. I will not be driving it much this week but I will be going on a 10 day trip next weekend. So I’ll be putting about 1k miles on it. So I will get back to you and let you know how they work out for me. Hopefully they don’t end up on the side of the highway. Haha!

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
