Right. Mixing and matching parts is a pain. I finally broke down and purchased a digital caliper set for making precise measurements. Hopefully, this will keep me from purchasing too many things that are too short, too thick, too small, etc.

Hey guys, I purchased some of the Traxxas front ribbed tires. If anyone cares, buy directly from Traxxas. They still have them in stock. Anyplace else you order from will have to order them themselves. They have a little bit of a higher profile than the Associated ribbed tires, but I'm sure they'll ...

Very nice. What's better the Andy's trailing arms or A&L? I really like this version.

The price of the gold noseplate is insane. Are gold ones more desirable than the black? I rarely see those on ebay anyway.

Nope, not at tower. I found mine at an LHS. Thank god I only paid retail.

I have a couple of viper bodies on backorder at Tower. Those are my favorite. I also like these Tekin chassis conversions too. We'll see how it handles. I plan on taking it for a spin, but nothing too rough. My other favorite is the A&L chassis with trailing arms. There was so much more imaginat...

Hey guys. Here's my Tekin conversion. It just needs a body. Hopefully, we all start to receive our backorders from Tower soon.

Well, that's peachy. How many degrees are these GPM blocks?

Yeah, what is it with prices lately. AE stuff used to be so cheap. I think the price surge is temporary until AE gets up to full speed due to their move. Though the rare vintage stuff on ebay is just getting rediculous.

I'd love to help BUT frankly I think my time is already spread too thin. How much time do you think it would take a day? Seems like we're all professionals here with family and those responsibilities take up the majority of time. Maybe a mod is need solely for approving membership, then, theoretical...

The tire info is good to know. I still run my RC10s so I prefer to use tires that are still being made. Using old TQ10 tires is just not feasible.

Traxxas makes a ribbed 2.1 front tire p/n 4740. I haven't found any anywhere. It looks like you can order directly from Traxxas. Has anyone used these?

Very nice. What kind of treads are those up front?

I like it too. Again, HPI needs to start making those wheels again!

Wow, these are retina-burning bright colors.
