Maybe this could interest some here so I thought it could be usefull to share my DIY custom hinge pins. I was tired off always having to search for the correct hinge pins for custom projects so came up with this idea of doing my own custom length hinge pins. You'll need: -Nails with the appropriate ...

Now that's what I call control

Templeofspeed...yup it's your tub !! I don't know why I tought it was used :oops: ....for me it's like brand new :D The rear arm mounts were anodised purple :lol: took me like 2 hours to grind them then wet sand'em with 400/600/800 grit to make them shine 8) I already got the guard... 8) saucisse, t...

Here are some pics to show how the projct is going on. Most of the parts are new except for the black tub which is in really good condition. I haven't got the time yet to polish the front/rear arms which explains why there's a color difference with the other aluminum parts.

I'll go brushless with my 10T project but I have all metal gears (MIP tranny)

From the past I can tell you that if you don't adjust correctly your diff (if it slips too much) your gonna fry the diff gear in 5 min or less ...been there, done that

ahahhaha and you must get a good smell if thefluid heats up

Ok....but what do I use to fit the stock spur gear on the shaft? In the archive section, I can barely see a part # for what seems to look like some kind of adapter...looks like # sp7 or something.

Anyone got this part??

Do you need a special slipper unit to fit the MIP tranny?

Was looking in the manual and it's pointing the stock slipper unit but it don't fit on the MIP shaft....the shaft diameter seems to be a bit too big....

Also any of you here upgraded with a losi hydra-drive?

Thanks !

Yeah I need the be gentle on the throttle when turning cause if I'm WOT it won't turn at all getting use to it dough.

Seriously, the only thing I regret is not having done this before...so much traction I'll try posting a video when I'll get the time

The HG metal gear is finally in place in the tranny!! I manage to completely ruine the rear tires with only 11.1v lipo pack so I've added some studs to the rear tires to get plenty of grip

The cab is pretty crappy but I don't really care, it's a basher truck

For a high speed rush I run my TC4 FT....11.1v lipo with brushless motor/esc is totally insane !! Note that it's my girlfriend who did the Lotus's paint 8) So totally insane was push to the next level on my JRXT runner, had to add some ''studs'' on the rear wheels to get some grip after awhile cause...

I know it's not purely music related but it's got his own unik sound

and most of all....it's vintage

I'll let you know this week. I'm supposed to take the truck apart to start the build up soon.

Thanks for the hints! I'll go with a black tub ! Guess I'll have a graphite chassi for sale...
