I visited the place for the first time about a month or so ago. I'm new to the hobby and to racing and wanted to take a look for myself. The place is pretty cool. I understand it has a great history and has survived father time. My impression is that it's pretty intimidating as the racing is pretty...

Thanks all!

I picked up a can of PS-27, the fluorescent yellow as well as PS-28, fluorescent green and the white for the backing today. I agree that it's the closest so will give it a shot. Now time to figure out how to put those 2 colors together....Stay tuned!

Well..thanks for reminding me that higher the oil weight means less responsiveness. For some reason, I thought the opposite. What did everyone do w/o the internet? I think I've settled on using 2 colors and doing the windows as best as I can. My daughter loves the yellow wheels and so do I. Does any...

Thanks again. Yeah, I have that site bookmarked to look at after I am "done". I found some of the de-soldering on home depots site so will probably get some there. I looked at the left solder joint on the motor and I think it has good coverage. It just doesn't look good. :? From the previo...

Hey man, that's a good first attempt. My first result was similar in the beginning. It looks like you may need to drop a little more solder into the wire mounting tabs and on the motor wires on the first initial tinning. Then everything will just fall right into place once you position it, and appl...

I soldered the bullets for the battery and everything works! I bound the rx to my 3PV, did a preliminary setup of the settings and calibrated the ESC and ran the buggy on the stand. Sounds great! Again, my soldering skills need advancing. I am most likely going to desolder everything and start fresh...

I soldered for the first time! As always, I just dove right into it. Saw some Youtube videos, re-read some threads here from all of your advice and did it! Of course, like some parts of my build, it's a bit comical. http://i.imgur.com/LH9aszH.jpg None of them look good or long lasting so I am not su...

Awesome! Thanks for taking the initiative.

That's sexy!

What's the US source for this? Amain covers Schumachers...Anyone know if they will be the US source?

Alright all! I'm getting there. This is what's coming: Battery - SMC True Spec Premium 7.4V 5200mAh 112Amps/90C Charging cable - https://www.amainhobbies.com/tq-wire-2s-charge-cable-w-4mm-5mm-bullet-connector-2-tqw2620/p451177?r=0 Bullets to solder directly onto the wires that were pre-soldered on m...

Thanks all! Like everything you've seen in this thread, being a newbie is extremely stressful. Painting is another reason... On one hand, I'd like to try something more creative. The other hand wants to keep it simple and just do one color but get my hands wet for taping craftsmanship by doing a goo...

Almost there!

I can feel the ending....



Not happy w/ my body trimming skills. I need to work on that as I do more bodies. I may buy another body at a later date...

I know it might not be ideal, but I charge with the banana style (it is what came with my HiTec charger when I first started out). My charger goes from banana to deans, then I have different leads adapting the deans to whatever is on the battery. I stick to 1C charge rates, so the current is quite ...

Pretty cool trick to loosening up that transmission!

What slipper hubs are those in the above picture?
