i've never had any luck with boiling the couple times i tried it, and if you try it be VERY VERY careful when you remove the tires and try to peel them off the wheels. i burned the hell out my hands once when the outside felt cool but the inside foam was still very hot. one squish of the tire and i...

This reminds me of the free computer power test.

Hey, I'm lookin' for Amanda Hugginkiss. Why can't I find Amanda Hugginkiss? http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/3230/moesyzlak.jpg Maybe your standards are too high! http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/8172/barneyj.gif You little S.O.B.

Oh no not that video again. There was a good deal of controversy over it as rightly there should be. They take a completely random old car and smash it into a brand new car and all of a sudden that makes all old cars death traps? You want to talk about ignorance!! Sure, a lot of antique cars are dea...

I've also heard many a time that putting the tires in the freezer overnight works. I don't know how effective that method is though.

There is a lot of different adhesives out there so you might have to try multiple methods.

They're made in a random factory somewhere and then various companies just slap their own labels on them. Heres Eastwood for example trying to peddle it for 200 bucks! :roll: http://www.eastwood.com/ew-hd...

I have a Lyman 2500 Pro Magnum Tumbler. I bought it to polish aluminum but the media I used (corn cobs) apparently isn't abrasive enough. It wouldn't polish the aluminum to an acceptable level no matter how long I left the parts in for. I bought it from this place: http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProdu...

I had an older relative that did as well. He made me one and its hanging up out in the garage.

There isn't a truck version of the FX-10. Though CRP did sell a truck conversion kit for them. The FX-10 for the most part was just a re-badged Tamiya Striker. Around the same time Futaba also came out with an aluminum tubbed, ball diffed stadium truck called the FXT as seen in this thread. It sport...
