Re: Novak T-1 with extra case hole

Those Traxxas shocks are nice and smooth. Pretty much copies of associated construction.

Re: RC10CC classic clear wait list....

On ones I don't plan to run, I use green slime and then add just a little oil. This way they are lubricated, but won't drain out all over everything over time.

Re: Taking an old Bullet model out of mothballs

If you can make a new body, that's pretty great!!!

For sure if you run it hard enough you will break stuff. If your plan is that, you are probably better off cleaning it up for shelf duty

Re: Taking an old Bullet model out of mothballs

Yeah the Traxxas white nylon definitely ages poorly, if you plan to restore it and run it it is worth boiling the parts or at least soaking in water for day or so. The gear case/arm mounts is not pure nylon so DO NOT boil that part. It is also quite fragile. The body is super fragile, and as you fou...

Re: DIY rocking horse manure

But the soldering iron is a great idea!!!! I have to remember that!

Also you might be fine at 400c, just need to look at the tempering chart to see what harness you will end up with

Re: DIY rocking horse manure

If you have a toaster oven you can crank it up as high as it will go and you will get something that works. Just degrease it first :lol:

Re: DIY rocking horse manure

Heat it to glowing orange, and quench in an oil bath until you can handle it. Then the important part is the temper, hopefully you tempered it, taking it between 700-400 degrees F (depending on how hard you want it) for a part that size, about an hour.
