Re: YR-4 custom buggy conversion

:shock:damned typo's. Typing on smartphones is still a pain! I think we got most of it. We're kinda screwed either way. That is a good price. I haven't heard back on my end yet but I doubt any of them will be that cheap unless I buy bulk. I think your right about the thickness of the delrin so prob...

Re: ** Build of the Month Contest - February 2017 ** - Winner - Asso_man!

Hey that's great. I'll be the first to admit that I'm a little ignorant with anything but vintage Traxxas stuff. I knew I'd get skewered with the cage question, but I had to ask, thanks for clearing that up for me. So... I was holding out a bit... Ya didn't think I would enter a build contest on ba...

Hi Guys, I got a kind PM saying the BigWig pics weren't visible... Is that the case for many of you? Hosted on photobucket... please let me know if they don't show up. Thanks folks!

2006 / 2007 Team Magic G4+ limited edition

No build thread here. It's 100% factory and brand new. Just wanted to start a thread for my self and others who may have one they want to show off. The tech in this car is pretty awesome for a 10 year old car. Carbon and aluminum fused pieces, milled carbon fiber and on and on. Enjoy mine, post your...

Re: The Track, Gaithersburg MD anyone?

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...

Re: ** Build of the Month Contest - February 2017 ** - Winner - Asso_man!

No worries guys I fixed it! :mrgreen: Wait a minute! I thought you were going to use a Detonator on it. :lol: Yeah that was the initial plan but it didn't fit the cage as good as the good ol' Protech 1 which only required some cutouts to fit the cage perfectly as you see above. I wouldn't change a ...

Re: YR-4 custom buggy conversion

I recommend against delrin or acetal. Its more brittle, can possibly break on hard impact. Nylon will be better. Honestly I havent run either for suspension arms,, but I have machined both materials,, and acetal(delrin) is generally not used for structural items. Mostly for gears and fixtures. In p...

Re: YR-4 custom buggy conversion

Probably thinking nylon. That's mostly what I've been looking at. If I'm wrong please correct me but isn't delrin more prone to cracking? Delrin is harder than nylon correct? Don't you think in this application a little give from the nylon would be better? That's NZD as in New Zealand dollars so.......

The Track, Gaithersburg MD anyone?

I'm just wondering if anyone on rc10talk is a patron of "The Track" on Oakmont in Gaithersburg, MD. I've been going there for many many years. Mimi the owner is just one of the best people I've ever met. Unfortunately I haven't been able to get over there for a few years. I will be back! H...

Re: YR-4 custom buggy conversion

These are the Yr-4 arms, carriers and shafts. No question the shafts have to go. I know we've gone over this but for anyone seeking this info. These carriers should handle 870c or any other iteration Yz10 wheel shaft / hub set up correct? http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e2/AllenB5979/Yr-4/20170205...
