yeah, i absolutely agree that picking up a whole buggy is more cost effective. Just thinking out loud about the desire for a 4wd kit, with the possibility of MIP bringing something back. Just thinking that you could effectively duplicate the effort now using off the shelf parts for a reasonable cost.

depending on how meticulous you are, you can repair this somewhat close to invisible, but you will need a donor part that has unidirectional fibers, file/drill/sand the slots nice and uniform, and cut out 'slugs' that fit with a small amount of air gap in them. take some crystal clear epoxy resin an...

I counted up some belts for the 870c and (I'm guessing) original YR4.

870c has 168 tooth front belt, 64 tooth rear belt. this is 504mm and 192mm respectively.

yr4 has 161 tooth front belt, 64 tooth rear belt. this is 483mm and 192mm respectively.

I think collectively speaking, there are a few things the people here would like to see:

man.....now i'm going to have to buy a whole bunch of parts to build a dozen buggies with my order..... :lol: seriously, those two parts I see as being your best sellers, besides the klien replacements, as they are the hardest parts to locate new or in great shape(bulkhead), OR, are frequently repla...

Chad, sent you a PM on the bulkhead.

they are #4-40 screws, so a close fit hole is a #32 drill, or somewhat looser will be 1/8". Countersink is 82 degrees.

BTW, how much for the jig?

yes, they are 1/4" and fit the original RC10.

a b4 cvd might just be about right. I think they are about 1/4" longer than the rc10/b2/b3

about the only way you can get it to go away is to literally strip off the thin layer that has been dyed. This will require a TON of work, and will result in a physically smaller part. If you were able to find a solvent for nylon, you might be able to get a large portion removed quickly, but it will...

lovely.

The general consensus would be to go brushless and lipo, if you have nothing already, it's an excellent way to start. the brushless systems from hobbywing are supposed to be good, xerun and ezrun. Likewise turnigy batteries are good. radios, I think anything that is 2.4Ghz, and in your price range, ...

it looks like bones might still be available, if so, you can build your own:

My 'Faux' Worlds car I put together as kind of an 'all white' version. Updated a bit from the original thread, including the piece de' resistance, the detonator worlds I was lucky enough to obtain from Mr. Jeff Harris, including the matching stand. Thanks!!! This was put together well before the re-...

these are not dynotech arms, however, you can purchase dynotech arms and use them as I am doing here. These arms were a limited run by Jake, aka Seabass on this forum. They are essentially the dynotech arms, with a bit of added offset so you don't need to run a wider axle to run a B4 front wheel. as...
