Probably 22 gauge

those in that listing are 2.1" front wheels and tires. You will be fine with those. Be aware in the future that they also made narrow truck wheels that are 2.2" and those actually have 4 screws holding them together. So as long as you see three screws, you are OK.

Doug, those extra links are installed as a factory upgrade. when the car was first designed and tested, they noticed quite a bit of flex in the c-hub and front arms. So they added the extra brace and link to improve the front end stiffness. later models have improved materials and design to prevent ...

I use three different things on epoxy glass or carbon fiber to remove any residue traces. first, wd40, this help soften some decals and servo tapes. isopropyl alcohol 91%, will take off lots of oils/dirts, some glues, etc acetone, this gets off any remaining glue or residue that can be removed with ...

the chassis has an epoxy glasss core to it. pretty standard in the chassis offered by losi.

it's a typically used associated connector from that time period. I think there was a thread on here recently to discuss it. GomachV I think had the right part number or family part number. It is a molex connector and uses the same crimped pins and sockets. ah, here is the thread: https://www.rc10ta...

the mint baja I had used a kydex bumper, so making one from 2-3mm kydex would be correct. the alloy one looks pretty much on point too.

Yep I'd bet your dad could modify a pan car gear or two to fit properly. Wonder if 47t is a common size

don't worry about it. there are plenty of them out there, and you need them for your build.

I'm guessing same as Dadio, you have a front and center gearbox and need a rear gearbox/diff Assembly. Probably different cars.

The cast knuckles look like kyosho parts. Nice detective work on tracking down the team driver.

penguin in your best bet. I have not seen the b2 body in a while, hopefully they will pull more in the new year. EDIT*** yep, there they are, they must have pulled them recently!

BTW beautiful car and great history!

bodies look fantastic!! Any chance you can snap a pic of the B2 and B3 bodies side by side? Dressed similarly, it would be an excellent comparison resource here on the board.

if you've already ordered them, you'll need 1/4" axles of some type. whether dogbone, u-joint or cvd/a. That would be the easiest way to use them. You will also need the right yokomo wheels, the ones that are for 870c/yz10, and not the later wheels with the deeper offset, such as the JCracing s...

so you have three basic things that can be happening to review: the motor could be worn or dirty, or the advanced timing could all contribute to drawing more current than the stock silver can in the hornet the 6 gear and spur/pinion combo can be creating excessive drag in some fashion, binding, fric...
