Going back to the rings and hubs... I did very lightly use 800 grit sandpaper on both sides of the rings. There was some grit in the connection when the parts were put together. I also put the hubs in the drill and spun them on a scouring pad briefly which helped removed some of the roughness in th...

Yes. It's AE's rendition of the Mustang Tommy Kendall drove in the SCCA Trans Am series. Thus, it is a Trans Am Mustang. :wink: The Jon Gooding version is better looking IMO. I think I am going to just go with the stock body and try to pay tribute to it (minus the big wing). 0e18ab57-b16b-4764-9638...

LOL! Brushless is the standard in modern RC.

I was out of RC by '05 or '08, somewhere in there. I got out of it about the same time. I was mostly into crawlers at that point; before there were actual crawler kits available. Outside of a couple of outrunners I had for crawler rigs, I had one brushless set up, and that was an early Novak system...

Thanks!!

Finally had some time this weekend to get back into the workshop. Pretty much done and actually started moving some stuff in. Still need to pipe some compressed air in, and maybe install a through the wall EF I have had sitting around. There are a couple of processes I won't to do in this room that ...

Got my order in! Thanks again Jeff!

So, I got a little something something coming in for my FR01 based car, and the question of chassis flex came up. The ol' question of whether graphite chassis flex much more than aluminum tub chassis. I got to researching a bit, and it just became too bogged down, and too much opinion without facts,...

I noticed my TQ10 chassis is more flexible than my RC10 Graphite chassis. The FR01 would be interesting to compare. While just playing around with everything, I was just flexing all of them a bit, and found the TQ10 (with tight battery in it that is arguably a brace) to be noticeably flexier than t...

Gotta love those (8) shock O-rings for $6!



But kinding aside, I do appreciate when AE actually puts part support out there for their ReRes!

Had a little time today to play with the Spaz Stix Ultimate Mirror Chrome ................ and it is awesome! :mrgreen: This is a couple of pics from my puller, and I did minimum effort on this to say the least. No real prep, 3-4 coats of mirror chrome, and a couple of coats of their black backer (a...

You know it's been too long since this greatness!!

So I got into the testing this evening, and it started off great with the aluminum tubs, but then ran into a snag with the graphites. I am not a physics guy, so I don't know if what I am stating here is correct in the physical world we live in, but I am just reporting what data I have seen. I starte...

I "think" I finished up the Sportsman today. There are a couple of shotty things that I did last minute for the last run that I told myself to correct before running it for real, but yea, those are what they are for now.

That will be good to know as I dive into this stuff that has shown up the past few days. Want to dive in, but must wait until pull is done on Saturday.

Edit: And also WTF is up with the stealth color??
