I decided to swap the Trinity Midnight into the truck from the stock motor. I think it will be a good fit in this truck. Also, the correct rear axles arrived and installed. So I got the tires and wheels all mounted. Waiting on B-Block from the UK. As soon as I get everything put together and it runs...

keeping the crappy stock shocks. Brutus probably couldn't complete a lap if she tried.

I have a choice between these two motors for my Big Brute project. Wondering which would be best for this particular truck?

Bearings arrived and I was able to get this mostly built. The rear axle shafts that came in a parts lot I thought were for the BB were actually for the USA1 and stick out really far, so I ordered the correct ones last night (BB14). Need to research a steering servo saver solution and want to avoid t...

Tried a variety of things. The best is in the ultrasonic cleaner with the heat on, which softens the paint making it flexible and can then be picked and peeled off. Took a small sample of rubber and soaked it on the acetone with no ill effect to the rubber, but also little effect to the red paint af...

Thanks! Getting it now.

Oh and a another thanks for the RCCA.

Any chance this file is still available?

I rebuilt the gear boxes and found that I am missing a c-ring. Some of the gears have "Hot Shot" on them. I noticed the same on the wheels when I removed the tires. Every single screw received on the gear boxes were cracked. I was confused because I looked a the re re manual and see that T...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I tried the least invasive first (soap/water). Then nail polish remover with q-tip, paint did not budge. Next carb and choke cleaner on q-tip, which did the trick very slowly. This was rather labor intensive and slow going. I am soaking in ultrasonic cleaner with the...

Does anyone have any tried and true methods for saving old parts like these? Not concerned with the wheel, just the tire. Just grabbed these off fleabay. Appreciate any suggestions.

Good point. If testing rollers, then yes... All electronics need to be the same. If testing rtr, they are tested as they come out of the box When they test a Camaro against a Mustang, they don't let the Camaro have an aftermarket supercharger to allow it to keep up ( :mrgreen:) HEY HEY HEY!!! What ...

when stuff wasn't made and owned just in/by china. I tried a few years ago to deliberatly NOT buy silverware made in China....came home with a set made in China. I second the build your kit as a right of passage. You learn everything about that car. Thinking of a re re Grasshopper for just that (ol...

Nice I borrow a buddies 89 GTA from time to time. His badges are a little different though and it only has six cylinders but it sure hauls. :lol: :lol: Badges :lol: Mine always wanted to be a TTA, but it just didn't get selected that year. The best that could be to mine was a Paxton. I bet your bud...

Here is my full-scale fun.
