OOOH! Brain-dump time for me! For aluminum, you'll need some TSP for the pre-cleaning, sodium hydroxide for the de-smut/strip, sulfuric acid for the electrolyte bath, distilled water for final cleaning, and a big honking power supply to run the works. Titanium can be anodized with either TSP or bora...

If your talking about the screw that retains the pin holding the shock to the arm on a short arm car, it's an .050

well, to conclude..... t5m bones are exactly the same length as the t4/sc10's... they do fit the cva axles... but sadly... too long.. i guess im swapping hubs...ill see how it goes

Hi guys I feel that something that's missing in this area is a consolidated thread that people can refer to when searching for parts or mods for their TRX-1s. Before I go on, I am anything but a guru on the car, i picked up a couple of them and raced one at a vintage meeting in October and am keen t...

Actually took a little time to prep, clean, nickel plate and polish some DS dogbones. Results are pretty decent. Stating the obvious, but the time put into the prep dramatically impacts the quality of the finished product. Step 1 - Cleaned IMG_1.JPG Step 2 - Plated IMG_2.JPG Step 3 - Polished IMG_3....

I think if they were going to be made available it would have happened already. But, you never know.

Do I have ANY chance of finding one of these? Don't ask me why... but I had a desire to set up an all-metal stealth transmission (w/ plastic spur gear... I'm crazy - not stupid). You can still easily find the hardened aluminum diff gear and after a couple of months of watching eBay, I was able to tr...

Picked this one up today. This is my brother's original RC10 from the 80's. It started life as an original "A" stamped gold pan, but he modified it with the long arms and longer shocks in the front along with new arms in the rear. After sitting for more that 25 years he decided to part wit...

Hey all, as most of you know I won the auction last week for the early Edinger that was new in box from Goodwill, of all places. Having now gone through everything in the box, analyzed and photographed it, I can say with a good amount of certainty it is complete and all original. These early kits, a...

Thank You sir! I appreciate the support...

Howdy yall as the tide wipes out our conversations daily, I thought it was time to capture all these in a topic. The issue: rebuilding stealth diffs has gotten expensive and parts ref aren't that clear. Let's list all tips and tricks here as they develop :) for a full-blast rebuild, you theoreticall...

Yes the truck axles are longer and use the thicker 12 mm hex. It's a 4mm difference. So if you use the truck axles/hex, your total front width will be 8 mm wider. Depending on the backspacing of the wheels you want to use, this could be used to your advantage. I included this pic so you can see both...

I just built a re-re Turbo Scorpion a couple months back. It uses 2.2 front & rear. Any modern 2.2 2wd front & rear buggy tires will fit. In the kit, the fronts have white letter "Sand Super" logos. The rears are solid black-wall but the kit includes decals if you want "Sand S...

Both bushings are identical: ID x OD x HT - .125(1/8") x .2(13/64") x .125(1/8") The originals are teflon(PTFE) the ReRe are something else.
