This was my RIT Dyemore Purple... I think that was like 1-2 minutes...

Sounds awesome. No video of a hot lap or two?

Finishing up my B6 build right now. The instructions and bags of stuff are a real pain. Terrible flow to the build and what is in each bag. That said, as it comes together it is quite a machine, but if I was a 1st timer, I would have given up. I had that feeling too... I've built so many cars and f...

I tweaked my endpoints too... but going fast and rubbing that ribbed pipe slightly would just catch the tire and pop cup... those savox servos, yeah very fast and very strong... but kinda loud. lol

At the VONATs I had issues w/ the stock and RPM ballcups popping off ... i used NEW ballstuds and NEW cups... still popped steering links. Maybe cause the servos are so strong now? Anyway, I replaced them w/ captured ends on the steering links... No more problems.

That is a good looking dye color IMO. Although I thought the plain RIT didn't work, needing the RIT DyeMore synthetic colors instead...

I remember building packs like that... so much easier than using bars.

Also FYI, AE's website had some clearance parts for B5 stuff ... could pick up extra parts cheap now (for possible need later).

if it's going to be a runner and you're going brushless you might want to look at converting to the v2 slipper. I'm doing that when I'm rebuild my old stealths into cars that I'll be running.

The top shaft can get the slightest ding or scuff when the roll pin gets inserted and makes getting the bearing off a tough job. Very high grit sand paper right around the roll pin to help polish up the shaft and...

ssshh... i don't want him sniping me. just kidding. haha.

Literally the hardest part is probably getting a good condition gold pan tub... nose & motor plates are relatively easy if you know where to look. You can still find new ReRe tubs or re-ano'd original tubs or a very nice original... but the tub is probably the single biggest cost. I've literally...

I think 6252 might be the other part number.

If you crank it down tight the plastic will get brittle with time and crack. Not uncommon, but if the car was not really run... For racing and running you can definitely improve the steering with new bell crank. For restoration, the original style really isn't hard to get. With a bell crank, I still...

Some good gentle grip needle nose pliers... Or I have a mini pair of channel locks that have served me well.
