A little side project. I’ve had this in a drawer for a while and decided to get it cleaned. It’s quite impressive what a thorough clean can result in. Boiling water. Simple green. Toothbrush and pipe cleaners. Brass brush on the Dremel and Birschwood Casey Super Blue for the hardware. No hydro perox...

All hinge pins > B5 are 3mm

This is a SC10 c-hub on my DS. All i did was take a 1/8" drill bit, attach it to a vice grip, and SLOWLY turned it through the hole. Afterwards i would push/pull the drill bit without turning through a few times to smooth it out. The hinge pin slid through easily without slop. https://live.stat...

Also, I...

I spent last evening scraping and replacing the decals on my sprint car. Everything is vinyl that I cut out on my wife's Cricut machine. The "Cali Dirt Videos" decal on the wing is from an awesome Youtube site (shameless plug!)....I sent a pic of the previous version to the guy, and he sen...

Could you explain what you did to the gearbox/rear suspension setup? I'm curious...It almost looks like something I did with my sprint car. I can try, but probably not very well. :D It is quite a hodge podge, and hard to describe. The gearbox is DR/RB-10, flipped around, and mounted to a printed ad...

Not sure if I will run these tires or go Marwan 0T-66....still undecided on wheels

Front end update is ready. Separating the nose bracing from the servo mount bracket is a good thing.

I seen this while driving today. It struck me a little funny.

Great news!

Isn’t the wing color red on the original box? I don’t see it as orange
