Finally finished my 40th Rere. Took long enough but was well worth it.

AE has been the exception to that rule lately LOL. They royally screwed everyone on the new stealth by making it partially incompatible with the OG.

Wait, what? I think I'm a little behind on some news. All I have are OG transmission parts!

They made the new case (the new version of the 6565 and uses the old 6565 number) narrower between the bearings so you can't close the case if you try to install a vintage diff. You have to use the modern diff outdrives along with the case :lol: To quote my old instructor at Ford, they could mess up...

Thank you very much for the add! I've lurking long enough and decided to go legit and be a member, hahahaha!!!! Thank you, again.

Some might say it's too nice

I say go for it! T2's are great runners. Definitely the most fun chassis to customize if you ever want to cut down chassis sides and trim motor plates without sacrificing any rigidity. Otherwise, all you may want to do is maximize track width with wide front axles and for the rear b4/t4 axles and sp...

After a lot of research I finally settled on and replaced the foam on the steering wheel of my old Futaba Magnum Sr. (FP-T3PG). Happy with the results and since I didn't find a lot of in depth how to for this online, I thought I'd make a post to help anybody out in the future. Link to the foam I use...

Because most people like to paint it themselves
Or do what kyosho did and just supply a sticker set

this is the AE we live with now, we need to just be happy the car doesn't have green tinge parts and a dull gold chassis like those factory 2nds they sold last year.

I would say night and day different. The rougher the track the more beneficial but, even on a carpet track i'd argue a Hydra-Drive could be of value. For me it served two main purposes. First, I went through a LOT less clutches. Stopping that was my primary goal, and I don't think was ever advertise...

I am actually shaking. Just scored a sassy chassis King Cab for $40. I feel like the luckiest person in the world right now.

Are the new tires and wheels the same size as the vintage ones?

same size but they seem (bubblier) if that makes sense.

Why wouldn't one make a lower CG tower and remove the lower shocks, thus mounting the shocks directly to the arm? You already tweaked the front. Great question! That was one of my ideas, the only real downside is designing the tower and having it cut etc. Ultimately I'm going to wait until I have t...
