Thanks for the input guys I guess I have some thinking to do about this car... I wasn't thinking about turning it into a shelf queen, but maybe that would be the best use for it, or if I do make it a runner keep it more or less with the parts it has and don't abuse it (i.e. don't let my 3 year old d...

Here's my old charger I used back in the day. I bought a NiMH 7 cell for my RC10 after bringing it back here to my place and charged it a few times on the old Juice Machine, being careful not to over charge it (and probably not charging it nearly all the way, either). http://i124.photobucket.com/alb...

Use brake fluid to remove the paint from the nylon. Or buy re-re parts. ;) So I tried brake fluid tonight and it didn't seem to remove the paint at all. I used Dot 4 synthetic and left a part in it for maybe 20 minutes and nothing, nada. Is there a different grade I need to use or something? What e...

Thanks!

I need front wheel bearings for my jelly beans, is 6902 the right PN from AE? If it is.... 50 bux for 4!

I found these on ebay for 13 bux a set, that sounds more like it http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/370975632369?lpid=82

where do you all buy your bearings?

Got a box of goodies from AE today. A new body and wing, front wheels and tires, rear wheels, and some other miscellaneous hardware, including a FT screw set

Thanks, I'll look for those

Anyone have a recommendation for a front bumper that would look good on my buggy? "Period correct" (and avalable, lol) would be a bonus

Those are awesome! My 3 year old is destructive enough without a rubber band machine gun though, lol. Mhhhh, I could just get one for me though...

Coming along nicely
What kV Reedy motor are you going to run?

Placed my order directly with AE Sunday night, got shipping info today, parts should arrive tomorrow. My package shipped in 1-4 days as they said.

Great thread, I learned a lot. Thanks for all the effort!

Well, for me, I already have a NTC3, and I like doing custom stuff. Anyone can just buy a TC3, but then they would have an "ordinary" car. Kind of the same reasons I built a 230+ hp VW bug, would have been much easier to just buy a new Mustang...

Huh, okay. Thanks guys
