Check McMaster carr for lapping compounds. The clover stuff is reasonably priced. The choices they offer gives you an idea of the surface finish you might be looking for.

Fantastic! I get an inch once in a while to do this too, to make the same pair.

What did you end up doing with the shock caps? they look great!

I have some updates so I can finally add it to the BOTM contest! Thanks to Markydents for a sweet piece to help RPM this thing a little further(rear bulkhead!), and Mike A. (Mikea96) for a sweet lid to help put the cherry on top!! I pulled some vintage NOS tires out of the part bin to place on the w...

Robinson adjustable toe rear arm mounts. It had a turnbuckle to adjust and required the hole to be cut for access.

Yep since the motor is flipped the polarity is reversed. Not a problem on a modified motor but a timed super stock type motor would be unhappy. Usually you flip the top shaft and cut the motor plate, if you can't flip polarity.

I think it might have been in the B/S/T area and might have had a shelf life? It was a good thread, we should probably start another one. I'll have to see if I have any singles to match. Pretty sure I have a couple of wheels that I thought were a pair but are actually different.

The original wheels I have are much more yellow than the rerelease. I guess you can say they are not fluoro? Unless they aged and lost the brightness.

Nice build! That body would look cool with some roll cage tubing around the cockpit.

Congrats!!!!!! Biggest challenge in the first year is SLEEP. Take turns working with your wife as much as you can. Walking rocking works awesome. The football hold works great for gassiness. Lay their belly on your forearm, the pressure helps their systems process. They cry for three reasons. Hungry...

Cyanoacrylate glue is actually bad for polycarbonate. It's fine for nylon though. For a static model no thread lock is even needed, and I only really thread lock like three threads ever on an rc10. The steering servo screw with metal gears. The outdrive screws on a 6 gear, and the pinion set screw. ...

That jives as the chassis I have is 6 holes and I think I bought it and it was a duratrax.

I tend to agree. Although I think Phin narrowed down the chassis with the limited side holes to definitely be composite craft as opposed to another vendor(but made by composite craft anyway).

Merry Christmas all!!!!!

He can elaborate but basically crashed on a scooter, busted leg and shoulder.
