I forgot about having throttle or steering when the battery runs down.

I recently had some parts anodized and came away with some notes. I could be completely wrong as this is what I pieced together from my experience and internet research. Anodizing is a process that creates a chemically and physically protective coat on aluminum. There are 3 basic types of anodizing ...

I am not sure myself. I am only going on what I have heard and read. I encountered smut when using greased lightning to strip anodizing off my parts.

Also, the longer bone needed for CV's in buggies is nearly impossible to find these days so I have gone back to running standard dog bones in my runner buggies. What about the Custom Works CVD bones for buggies? I am running them on a stock team car they seem absolutely fine. They also have slightl...

I don't have an Associated bearing in front of my to measure, but there's this guy from McMaster Carr. Fits 1/8" shaft, 7/16" OD. For future folks the McMaster carr part is identical to the associated part D8CDF602-2266-454F-B54B-1E78CA45401A.jpeg The dirty one is from the kit and the cle...

Looks like the Losi version. One of my six gears has a different aftermarket diff tube. It does appear to be losi 4005 Have you replaced the bearing in yours? does 1/4x1/8 bearing fit? I didn't do anything to mine other than lube it. Other than one outdrive bearing, the whole transmission didn't ne...

So the truck has been coming along slowly. It amazing how much all of the small parts cost. The diff was missing a bunch of parts once I opened it up. I got a MIP carbide diff kit. I ordered the custom works bearing for inside the diff. I also had to order some custom works ball studs to finish out ...

No assembled car is ‘new’ it’s just less used. Just take a look at all the poor eBay sellers trying to auction off partially assembled cars with parts still in bags. If you like it bid on it what you would like to spend. Honestly having a parts complete car is a big deal if that where you want to en...

Most of my time is spent on work, the side hustle and being dad of two young boys. The RC thing has been nice since I get to share it with the kids. Though there has been less and less RC time lately.

I do technical work on movies, though don't get the time to watch them.

I was bidding against you on that truck 2. I wasn't sure on much of it but it looks like an collection of some harder to find parts. It looks to me like the rc10t composite craft chassis, RPM rear arms and technacraft turnbuckles. There are a few threads on here about how to restore the graphite cha...

Thanks Gav, It certainly seems like a genuinely enthusiastic and informative bunch from what I;lve read so far. Looking through everyone's builds has me spending a fortune in my head buying other kits that I wanted as a kid...man, I ran that Fox into the ground! Next time I'm back in the UK I'll ch...

Would this Kit work for the mod? https://www.amainhobbies.com/avid-rc-mod-triad-slipper-clutch-81t-84t-avd1020-mod/p-quqwtaeqgc2xactz I am running that on my sons car. Make sure you have the correct top shaft. Note that this one https://www.avidrc.com/product/5/accessories/3506/Associated-Aluminum-...

When it comes to replacing the top shaft and slipper with RC10 B4 parts what are all of the parts that need replacement? I see some sets available but I didn't know which parts exactly that i need. Is it just the slipper hub? https://images.amainhobbies.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=400/images/large/asc/...
