Well, mine ended up being Aristocraft and the brush hoods are similar but different as mine are not directional.

Oh no ... I've been using beer too

With the engraving seemingly being under the label, and the label looking pretty fresh for an old motor I'd be leery. I have one of those motors with that brush hood arrangement and can't recall who made them. Don't see them often though

Ours are hardened and would be a serious pita to drill out. Ill check bone fitment shortly but from memory the bones fit fine, maybe a tad loose but definitely usable

If they are 5mm you could use kyosho optima/ultima outdrives (not rere) or ours from the trx1 bone kit

We literally raced with them, it's really not a big deal haha. They work fine.

Pretty hard to find, haven't seen one for sale in a long time. That said, the stock ones are super easy and those Molotov chrome pens would probably do an outstanding job

No, people used them. Honestly I'd trust a nylon nut over a non locknut any day haha

I wonder if they would have used their own #6192 chrome knockoffs

Are you thinking of HG? Hammad Ghuman? They didn't come into the rc market until waaay later but they did make knock offs

yeah the youtube embedding isnt working, i edited with an external link. Not much to see, but you can tell its smooth and thats what is important. Oiled bearings vs greased will make a HUGE difference. We are running chinese $1 a pop bearings these days vs the $80 high end NMB bearings sets back in ...

In 2013 I built up a completely stock rere trans and didn't touch the gears. This was assembled with the stock bushings not bearings. When under load bushings are far less efficient but as far as the spin test went, it was miles ahead of the original 6 gears. for some reason the link isnt working, h...

same as some of our trailing arm parts, like the shock mounts with the 1/8" holes that are used to jig them up for drilling

Question for the experts: Which "version" are they re-releasing? Was there an original version with gold shocks and bushings? The XX chased away all of the AE buggies where I raced bitd, but there were always quite a few 10Ts racing. I don't recall seeing this combination. It's very cool ...

Thanks for the heads up, just nabbed one to be safe. I'll get a backup from amain when they list em. I have some trust issues with AE fulfillment after seeing some friends get hosed on the CC and 40th kits
