Re: Vintage Aftermarket Shocks for a Mid- What are the Optio

I came across You-G shocks (the blue ones) on a Fox. I have always thought they looked really good, but they are not the quality of the golds. They are a step-up from plastic shocks, but not by much. I was disappointed in the You-G ones (except for the look).

Is there any hope for this piece?

I want to finish off an Optima Hot Trick runner, but this important piece is holding it up. See the large hole drilled in it. Is there anyway to salvage this to make it work? Is there anyway to fill it and put a new hole? Could I cut and patch with a stock one? I'm not hopeful and I have no idea why...

Re: Front hpi star wheels for ultima

I have one set of white HPI star wheels that I got before they were discontinued. You just can't find them anywhere (it's the 2.2" ones, I think #3030). They still make them in black, but that's it. These were such a good way to buy modern wheels and use modern tires and the wheels still had th...

Good advice, thanks! Scr8p, What do you soak them in? I like the low tech pencil for the tester :-).

Suggestions for cleaning and testing bearings

I have a bunch of vintage bearings (a mix from Kyosho, Tamiya, and Associated cars). What is a good way for me to clean and test these? I'll toss those that aren't good anymore and use the cleaned and tested ones for runners. Looking around online it is suggested that I need specific oil, a case, me...

Re: RC10 JCAR parts?

The more I look at mine, it is just like the one pictured fron scr8p, just silver instead of black. I think the whole thing is for the RC10.
