Re: Jrx-pro se rpm gear cover question

I always use a tie rod end on the front of Losi gear covers because the nylon nut is just too big and a pain to take on & off without removing the shock. But on that specific RPM cover, because space is even more limited, a Dubro #2160 works perfect.

Re: Anyone have a "magic sauce" for servo tape removal?

I use regular naphtha/zippo lighter fluid.. let it soak in, then scrape off with a plastic razor blade or your fingernail.. It’s great for cleaning a lot of other things off too and doesn’t attack paints. Goo-Gone/Goof Off works too, but is really hot and will remove paints and attack plastics. goo...

Re: ** Hopelessly Incomplete Project of the Month - May 2025 **

Shoot, just now noticed this thread and last month went completely over my head. These types of polls I have many hopeless projects to enter :lol: When I look at BattleTrak's JRX2, it makes me wonder how many he's trying to build from that pile of parts 😂 😂.

Re: Bodies For HT Frog Prince?

I sold Dinglem a Red Prince with this body that used the side bracket Velcro mounting. No idea what the body is…maybe someone can identify it.

Re: Tamiya Frog

The Frog was the first “hobby grade” R/C car I encountered back in the day…. I had a few Radio Shack cars and a Turbo Hopper.. but the kid up the street had a Frog.. it was fast and awesome!

Re: Forum News & Discussion

I got the rate limited error this morning too.. I kinda figured it was another attack from China you had to deal with.. everything ok now. Ultimately, what is the purpose of these attacks and bots and whatever…?
