article: Cover the entire paved patio with a thin layer of polymeric sand. Use a broom to sweep the sand back and forth until it fills all the spaces between the pavers. If you notice that there are still gaps in-between pavers, add more sand and sweep it into the cracks. This may take a few passes. Attach a thick towel or piece of cardboard to the base of the compactor and go over the entire patio. As you go, make sure that the patio is staying relatively level. You want the pavers to be set well into the sand and that as little settling as possible will take place in the future. Don't be afraid to give a little force when compacting. While you don't want to break your freshly set pavers, they can take a good amount of force from a compactor with a cushioning cover over it. Fill in any areas along the patio edging with soil, gravel, grass, or ground cover. Basically you should fill the space at the edge of your patio with whatever material matches the rest of your yard. While pavers will last a very long time without sealing, taking the time to seal your pavers every few years will make them look better, preventing staining and deterioration. Use a sealer that is recommended by your paver manufacturer.

article: Inside the body of the car you'll find two interlocked circular gears, the small metal pinion, and the larger plastic spur. Unbolt both gears and lift them out of place to make room for their replacements. Since speed is your goal, you'll get the best results using a larger pinion (with a larger number of teeth) and a slightly smaller spur (with fewer teeth). If you're more focused on improving your car's acceleration than maxing out its top speed, go with a smaller pinion and a larger spur. You'll be sacrificing a little bit of velocity, but you'll make up for it with more precise cornering and cooler running temperatures. Changing the size of the gears is one of the simplest and least expensive ways you get your car running faster. Unscrew the bolts holding the wheels in place and slide the wheels off the axles. Remove the washers from the ends of the axles, then use a Phillip's head screwdriver to open the housing around the drive shaft and pop out the bushings inside. Insert four high quality ball bearings and reassemble the drive shaft and axle. Most consumer-grade RC cars are outfitted with cheap brass bushings that turn the wheel on the axle. These bushings aren't designed for high-output performance, and can slow your car down drastically. The ball bearings are able to spin more freely than bushings. This eliminates drag, which can reduce engine strain, and increase battery life. While you've got the wheels off, consider trading them out for a new-and-improved set. Select wheels with a tread that's suited to your preferred racing style. That way, you can be sure that they'll hold up under the most demanding conditions and make the most of the speed offered by your car's other modifications. Full spikes will offer more traction on uneven surfaces like mud and damp grass. Mini pins perform well on carpet, turf, and other uneven terrain. Bald, slick treads and softer tire types are the best choice for hard, smooth paths like paved roads. If you're looking for a good all-around tread, try mini spikes. They strike a balance between speed, grip, and maneuverability. Consider swapping out the stock frame of your RC car with a lightweight alternative such as aluminum or graphite. These materials will reduce the pressure on the wheels, which means they won't slow down the car as much as dense plastic and heavier metal pieces. Keep in mind that the lighter your car is, the less traction you'll have when changing direction. If you're skilled with a rotary tool, use it to cut off unnecessary plastic sections of the chassis and surrounding body, like the bulky area around the battery socket or the speed control tray. Trimming the majority of the bulk from the front end of the car can also help make it more aerodynamic (and also make it less likely to flip over when stopping at high speeds).

Sort everything into four piles: keep, trash, give away and to decorate with. Keep everything you want to keep, trash junk, recycle papers, give stuff away to family/friends, and donate the other stuff to Goodwill or the Salvation Army. This is a pretty essential step because it will help declutter your room as well as get rid of clothes that you don't want. Empty your room of any unwanted toys, games, etc. so you don't have to re-clean your room after. This could include your bed, dresser, desk, drawers...
