have come to the part where I need to put the rear diff together but it doesn't seem right and I don't have a picture of how to assemble it so does any body have a picture of the assembly of it??

okay thanks

the bumper or other thing?

any id on this bumper and whatever the other thing is. found them in a box of stuff

had this motor laying around and couldn't decide between this or the slot machine two but I think I will go with this one instead. not really sure what it is though.

Okay thanks for all the help I will continue with the build and put up pictures of the old broken chassis and new one when I get it all together.

okay thanks. I noticed that that motor is a little more open then the one on it. will that matter in the sand??
Sorry for all the questions

I have a grasshopper I was looking into to fix up because the chassis is broken but every thing else looked fine and I was wondering if this car can run in the sand with out any problems. I am going to the beach soon and was thinking of taking my rc10 runner but really didn't want to run it in the s...

The car is now fixed and works great. :D Still spins at high speed but a body should fix that. I was looking into on road tracks and oval tracks but the closest one is about 2 hours away so that is out of the question. I was wondering if I could just run it on my street and the occasional parking lo...

didn't even think of looking at that haha thanks for the tip

So after spending some time today working more with the car and trying some of what everyone has told me to try I did get further and I was then able to actually build up some speed before spinning out. I changed the tires to foam ones which seems like it helped a lot and tried my best to level the ...
