Hello, figure ill put up a post in here and divulge a litltle about myself. Im 41 years old and have worked near everyday of my life since 15, unfortunately We don't get to hibernate during the winter in florida. Ive labored on things ranging from hydraulic manifold production, to Limosuine manufact...

As I stated before. I apologize for ofending and was not intending this hijack this thread and make it a knowledge pissing contest. I tried to post respectfully while presenting a differing opinion that I back up with specific examples. You have responded by throwing cheap insults at me If you can't...

lol, Heres a thought. How about a new thread about determining the veracity of our stance on this little debate. I will defer that a part made identically but only difference being scale it would be mechanically weaker to load bearing but as far as cumulative effects such as wear and stress failure,...

I was paraphrasing not qouting Newton. I was too lazy to google it. Just remember "winning an argument on the internet is like winninig the special olympics, your still retarded" I am sorry that I offended you but I think that you are being extremely biased in your analysis of the durabili...

using strength of material calculations to total cross-sectional shear plane of both sets of arms from what I can see is nominally the same and if both are made out of the same material then they both will fail at approximately the same load. but the heavier car will exert a greater load on the part...

Crash damage has nothing to do with durability but rather has everything to do with driving. hit the wall at 40 mph at 45 degrees with only front wheel contact and you will be buying parts in whatever scale. chances are the heavier car will require more repairs. An object in motion tends to stay in ...

looks good,I did the opposite and converted a lazer zx from buggy to sct. race legal. I did it mainly cause I wanted a kyosho 4x4 sct. Ive seen conversion from 1/8 buggys to sct.I had a couple lazers and a ton of parts so purchasing another buggy wasn't cost effective. Ya the downscaling a 1/8 would...

Ok got it,I feel like such a newb, http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o744/kyoshojoe1/20140212_214946_zpsfca13dc4.jpg http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o744/kyoshojoe1/20140212_214905_zps97405619.jpg http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o744/kyoshojoe1/20140212_214830_zpsa5467187.jpg http://i1341....

Im new to posting in forums. Thought that this project might intrigue some kyosho fans out there considering the only class of rc vehicles they dont make is a 1/10 sct 4x4. My story starts with me buying a proline flowtech body from my lhs. problem was I only had buggies and vintage optima parts. oh...
