Opened and cleaned the servo, it was perfectly clean inside, stock grease was redistributed. Those are the weirdest screws I have ever seen. 1/2 turn to full out. I started to unscrew and they came popping out like crazy. Very weird. Servo.jpg Have the same steering servo in my project. Probably 30...

Just wanted to update this. I found an old website that was selling rebranded versions of my esc advertising they supported down to 13 turns. I ended up going with a Holmes Hobbies Retro Sport 21t. So far so good, and definitely much faster than the previous HPI 27t motor. Based on the specs, the 21...

New driveshaft fixed it. I will keep that in mind though. I do have a Mod 1 gear and it is way too big. 32p might work.

Making some progress. Got a new motor and I was able to figure out the transmission except for one item. The spur gear wobbles however the driveshaft does not appear bent. I think it is related to how the inside slipper plate rests on the pin but I am not sure. The wobble is enough that the mesh is ...

Recently learned about the Slash recall for asbestos while searching for vintage parts. I imagine this would be a greater concern with vintage stuff. How would one know if an old part contained asbestos? I was looking at this for example: https://sheldonshobbies.com/products/slippery-pad?_pos=1&...

I don’t have a picture, but I painted my USA-1 body back in the day. Came out really nice, except I used the wrong paint and it started flaking off almost immediately. Ended up having to paint the outside.

This is the JConcepts Finnisher that I used on my RC10 E-GT conversion.

Little too modern, but I love that paint job!

For "Other" there's the Sabula Tech "Flag" for the RC10GT: The TBG/JConcepts 6134: Or 9516: There's also a Proline/Protoform '99 Silverado style, single cab, rear tower body for the GT on eBay, if I come across it again I'll post the picture. Would love to see these painted. Goo...

...but those large openings in the shower base are drains for releasing water from behind the shower wall panel, not for door drainage. That is what I needed to know, thanks! It does have drain holes in the aluminum but they are not low enough to let all of the water out. I may have to expand them.

As far as I can tell, the XRT body is exactly the same and has provisions for both shock locations.

Trying to decide on a body for my restoration. The obvious choice is the TBG Pro XRT body. However, the negatives are that it is expensive and does not include window masks or the wing. I also like the look of the RC10GT bodies and they are cheaper and include the masks and wing. Not sure they would...

Lots of handy people here, hopefully someone can help me. I have been having trouble cleaning my shower. The bottom of the aluminum framed glass door does not drain anywhere. Is it supposed to drain out these openings in the pan? There is one on each side of the door.

Any recommendations for spur gears? The factory 105t is for the 30k rpm .12 OS and is geared too low for my brushed electric setup. I think I need something in the 75-86t range but I am not sure what will fit.

Jokes aside, I think the tweak was intentional so the bulge for the diff gear didn't hang down below the rest of the chassis.

I’m probably being too picky. However, I do think it is supposed to be straight.

Got a good deal (or so I thought) on a chassis on eBay.

Should I try to straighten this or return it? The bend angle is identical to the protrusion in the tail. I am guessing it got stepped on or something similar.
