Congratulations!!! We had our #2 (and last) just 6 weeks ago today! So far, so good! We almost didn't make it to the hospital in time! :shock: She's TOTALLY different than our first; much more laid back! I/We couldn't keep from telling anyone either! We tried for 5 years with the first so we were EC...

Now THAT'S different...

Dangit, y'all! I wanna build one now! Like I need another project: of the 7 current "toys" only one is drivable. It still lacks a painted body and some knick knack details...

Wish I had that cab and bed! Pretty sweet... MAJOR ground clearance with the gear reduction boxes on the axles!

Maybe I need to do a house swap with someone over there. That way a Canadian/American family could see what it's like to have a summer Xmas in Australia. It's certainly not all bad, I even have a good r/c collection to peruse through too ;-) Heck, they wouldn't have to go down under for a summer Ch...

Silicone is the general consensus... I believe it has something to do with the silicone shock oil causes the silicone o-rings to swell slightly...? That's what I've heard but I may be off base. Someone straighten me out if I'm wrong! I also think a hardened shock shaft will be mucho beneficial; bett...

About the only other thing I could think of is if the spring for the diff is new, you're supposed to compress it a few times with a pair of pliers or whatever to get the spring steel to "set"; springs will sag after "working" if they are new so this is to get it closer to normal ...

I'm guessing they were going for direct drive...??? :lol: The slipper was cranked ALL the way down on it as well... Along with the slipper pad that wasn't seated correctly between the plates so it is kinda iffy now :roll: I've got it slightly compressed to try to flatten it back out. Also: what is t...

So, I decided to bust into the Stealth in one of the 10Ts I recently purchased. When the truck first arrived I of course gave it a once-over and grabbed the spur to see how the diff felt. Well, it wasn't real promising so I put the whole thing away for a bit. Popped it open tonight to see this: http...

Swaybars would probably help too. They help to control roll without having to make the suspension super stiff.

And maybe an almost slick tire to help attain some slide-action as opposed to the tread slipping to a degree and then suddenly catching and throwing the thing into traction roll.

I'd be in for at least 2 sets of outdrives and a couple of the diff gears!! Not that that is a whole lot but it all adds up!

Just stumbled upon this thread: FREAKING AWESOME!! My brother had a Blackfoot and I loved that thing! I wanted a Monster Beetle but never got around to purchasing one... :( This thing is so sick; I can't even imagine what the "finished" (if there ever is such thing) product will be like!!!...

Dragging up the past! :lol: Here's my contribution: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=28681 I didn't have much of a chance to run it BITD. I think I raced it a whole 3 times before my local track folded and it went up in my closet. I'm getting her back in running shape just so I can h...

Holy shitballs! :shock: When I go to the Flea Markets around here I literally come home with fleas! :? You and Farmer go out and you're practically tripping over major finds!! :roll: Nice score!! :mrgreen: :lol: Same here!!! I don't think the people I see at the flea market around here couldn't spe...

Very good score for $50! Transmissions in the chassis are 6 gear; the three seperate black case transmissions are Stealth based; now whether they're the first gen or subsequent variants I can't say as I'm lost after the first run of those transmissions! :lol: Looks like you have lots to keep you bus...
