I agree that it's cool. But the image looks like a picture of an older picture (or something).

Probably a Trinity Midnight

I looked at the endbell and tabs as well.

If you want some more front grip, the JConcepts 1.9 fronts fit nicely on the Kyosho wheels.

0-80 X 3/16

What classes does your local track run?

It'd be a shame to spend $500 on a car, only to find out that it doesn't fit in any of the local classes.

Looks like a V2 Dynotech.

Here, drag strips only close for about a month. Mid December through mid January. Track conditions suck in January and February but the air is awesome.

Lighter fluid will release the servo tape.

If using the Rooster, I'd verify body clearance first. It is rather bulky compared to many other esc's. I typically use them in trucks.

You can still buy the Stealth diff lube but any ball diff lube works. Most of mine use the inexpensive Arrowmax grease, which seems fine.

I have these for fishing reels but they should work on axle and input shaft pins as well.

Juicedcoupe's idea is pretty smart too... but I can't tell if he's really zoomed in or just using the biggest channel locks he could find :shock: :lol: It is zoomed in so that you can see the slot and that the teeth have been removed from that area. The Vise Grips aren't the smallest size, more of ...

If the receiver has a BEC, it should handle 7.2 volts.
