No lube neccessary................. Back in the day, to "break in" the gears to one another, we'd take graphite powder or a gritty-style of toothpaste (after replacing good bearings with old ones) coat everything pretty good and run the tranny on a electric drill for 5 or 10 minutes. Then ...

Maybe it's just that some actually CAN type...........

A lot of times those axle gears can be a real bugger to get off, especially because of the bearings, and oftentimes (back in the day) we used to use a little Liquid Wrench sprayed inside the bolt hole to loosen them. And they'd eventually pry off with a little carefull finagling. There's a recent th...

If any of you are having trouble with the holes lining up and not sure what to do.......

.....fill the holes in with JB Weld, and then re-drill them properly. The "plugs" will not fall out, regardless of abuse.


(old-school trick, I used to do it all the time back in the day )

I've been reading through this thread, along with looking at and hearing the comments on many others here and elsewhere - and in my old-arse, former factory driver, racer, collecter, not-as-good-as-I-used-to-be opinion I'm going to finally weigh in and give my 2-cents worth on the topic. I figure t...

Great pics for those that weren't there or around at the time...........

.........interesting though, that since they didn't yet have ESCs back then that they didn't include a mechanical speedo (bastads that they were) and instead pic'd some servos to center the battery pack.

can crp's tamiya to kyosho adapters work on a rc10 wheel bearing/rims? The answer is YES . To put it in perspective, a 13mm wrench is about the same thing as a 1/2-inch wrench. As long as you're getting bearings the fit your axles, regardless of the Tamaiya wheels supposedly only accepting metric b...

I don't know specifically - but back in the day we had all sorts of wheel shortages, due to lack of existing inventory in hobby shops, and so I had all sorts of bearing sets to accomplish getting just about any wheel on my car. That being said, it likely isn't as much a matter of if they'll fit but ...

im curious about a few parts on my losi cars the chassis and rear shock tower on the jrx2 look after market and the chassis on the pro did they come out without a slot for the servo saver I know this was long-closed, but I'm new here and couldn't resist the temptation to chime in. :lol: The rear sh...
