Well the place we run in indoor offroad on carpet, and boards under for jumps etc. My t2 has rpm arms all around.. which helps on some of the landing indoors. My transmission parts are in tomorrow. Front wheels are an issue though.. If I go from steering stop to stop.. the ball cup rubs the inside o...

One thing I found interesting was that the top shaft on the T2 uses spacers (seems like this is from the GT2) that no other steath tranny seems to use. Now if I decide to modernize the transmission, I think I will still need the spacers because this is more a function of the cases right? But really....

Hey everyone, I am running a T2 - though I am in the middle of a Transmission rebuild. The T2 transmission runs different then those before it, or after... not sure why they changed some parts.. but oh well. Anyway.. I am looking to run lipo and a 9t brushless in this. So weight will change. I wonde...

I thought I posted this in the buy and sell.. and maybe it was deleted and no-one said anything to me. A local shop to me has turnbuckle/Hingepin sets.. for XX buggy. Anyone interested and we can make an arrangement that I will pick them up for you. I know these things are hard to find.. he has abou...

ok, so I go online find the xxl body.. part #8040 btw..

and I cant find anywhere that sells it. So I am the same boat .. another body that I cant get lol

What ended up happening about someone making some new bodies?

Did anyone ever find out what happened to Vans Invent? and get those moulds from him?

I need a body for my Jrxpro-Se.. anyone know something from anything else that will fit it well?

Thanks

I know people who would use current shock fluids,

Usually between 60 - 100 wt.. if you are racing this then it will make a difference.. if you are not.. then it really does not make much at all.

Thicker the fluid the faster it will lock up..

There are several of them running where I race.. both the X5 and the X6.. One thing I will say.. is they "FLY" nice.. they are one of the smoothest in the air buggies I have ever seen.. No worry about nose up or down.. wow.. Now the drivers that run these cars are not the best at our track...

Hope you guys get a better turn out this time around.

We got the same turnout for our first Vintage race of the season this year.. and also almost the same cars. 2 RC10s and a Tamiya Fox

Good luck

WTF! box art? just kidding. some box arts are really cool and others leave a lot to be desired. Take a look at time tunnel http://www93.sakura.ne.jp/~time-tunnel/old%2001.html This guy has some really cool RC10's WOW.. that site is fantastic!!! Thanks for the link!!! James ps. No I was not thinking...

Hey guys, I have my body for my Jrx2 now. I need some 80's style paint job ideas on how to do this thing up. I dont want modern splash or 35 colour things.. I want something basic and fun!! Any pics anyone has of something they think would look cool on a nice retro Jrx2 runner.. show me please! James

I have a set of NEW never run (but not in package TQ70 as well.

Does anyone want these? PM me and we can work out a trade?

(I know not in the buy and sell but the thread was there...)

The problem you guys seem to be missing is Yokomo did not publish part #s in their manuals until the YR-4 came out. I have manuals for the 870c and the Works cars.. none of which have specific part #s that would refer to anything on a package of parts at a hobby store. I have talked to Yokomo direct...

Yeah, its funny how that type of suspension is almost without exception UK based eh?

T Tech , Schumacher. Must be all that F1 blood in them.

I have been trying for sometime to get in contact with this guy about getting bodies (As have many of us) Today I got his answering machine for the first time in a LONG TIME and the message was different than the last time I remember. This must mean he is about.. so I left the info again. I will let...
