Just got this, needs a bit of work. The rear diff pulley is screwed. Rear shock tower seems to have been broken and repaired by gluing a washer to each side. Not a huge fan of the body that came with it! Bulkheads look to be ok. Is the only place the bulkheads crack the shock tower mounts? I was thi...

I'll take if off your hands for $60

That ain't a B2 it's a RPM worlds with composite craft chassis, and you did very well to get that for $50!

I´ve been using these which look the same as yours purpletimbo, except they´re branded GE Power and 4200mah(despite the ad saying 4000mah) 25c http://cgi.ebay.com/RC-Car-Truck-Lipo-battery-7-4v-4000mah-25C-hard-case_W0QQitemZ370267901387QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Toys_Hobbies_Radio_Controlled_Vehicles?ha...

Yeah the mould is almost done.
Love the Samurai I gotta get one sometime!

Buy a spare idler set they include an allen key with it

Check if the charger has a storage function. If you tell it you have a 2200mah battery it'll just charge it at 2.2 amps instead. If you don't have a storage function you could fully charge it then discharge it and watch until its drained 1600mah out of it for a 4000mah battery. Personally I just lea...

The mould is sorted, I'll have some made next week. Seems a pretty good fit with thicker polycarbonate, no chance of it falling off.

Yeah B3 and T3 are the same, the pin hole is offset more to the outside than the 10T/GT/T2/B2 one.

Yeah the BJ4 used Losi front steering knuckles, axles and wheels so they just used Losi wheels, then the B44 is based off the BJ4 so it ended up the same. Maybe it's more durable to do it that way due to the crazy positive offset the wheels run. If HPI use 12mm hex on their wheels they've got these ...

Yeah they changed the arms to those late in the 10T production and through T2 production. Also changed to those on the GT I guess at the same time as the 10T and stayed that way til the GT2 came out.

Spur gear looks the same as what originally came on my T2 and T3

Followed by "due to the nature of this hobby items are sold as is", ie it's actually a piece of shit and if you get sucked into buying it bad luck

It's 0.8mm so just over 0.03 inch
What thickness is the original?

I would have thought that the semi trailing arms would be worse for rough tracks due to the toe changes as the arm moves, effectively bump steering at the rear. The reaction of the suspension is going to be based on where the shock is attached to the arm and how stiff the shock is set up. Surely a l...

Also known as acetone which comes in large bottles at hardware stores cheap
