Before I hijack another thread I was curious about Ball bearings.
They used to be a very expensive upgrade and now they are a commodity. It's actually cheaper to get avid bearings vs associated bushings.
I know that there are steel bearings,...

Due to my puller builds, I became pretty obsessed with bearings in my quest to use the best of everything. What I found is that there are American manufacturers that still produce miniature bearings, but with a catch. They either don't sell to the...
A lot of you must already know this, but I recently found a site that has the original Vette from the movie, and it says the Vette was most likely an RC10 DS, and was driven by Jammin' Jay Halsey!

I still have no idea what I am doing, but I am doing it anyway! :D I keep having great ideas at about 5am of how I am going to work out something on this build, but when I sit down in front of it, the ideas aren't going to work. :? Oh well.
So while polishing up one of my chassis I managed to over polish a have grey spots on a black chassis.

It looks like Caswell may have a kit that would help.
I am not sure if this is just a degreaser, aluminum black and, a sealer.
Since the 3d10 thread has been hijacked / side-railed a bit by this topic, I thought I'd start a separate topic on the options for finding a differential for the SCX10 / Injora transmission.
These 2 threads had their take at finding a solution:...

I was about to order the Tamiya gear diff assembly (54471) and it suddenly occurred to me that the diff gear and side plate assembly is almost certainly too wide to fit the Austar/Injora case. That case is very narrow and closely hugs the gears. :(...

I have thought about it but like someone said the reward is almost nothing. I would rather hold on to the parts. You never know when they will come in handy.
How do you ship to Australia or New Zealand from the US? Do you just staple the package to a wombat or something? Apparently a couple of guys, presumably both named Bruce , want my Storm 2000.

Is there a way to adopt a b4 style top shaft to a 64 pitch for use with a thorp 64pitch gear set? Were the top shafts and idlers for the thorp 64pitch gt and rc10 stealth the same across kits?
-Joseph
Last post
It may be possible to press the gears off and swap them. I'm honestly not 100% sure though.
Are there any threads here on that? Would I just try and torch and hammer off the gear of a associated steel b4 top shaft? Are there any 'blank' b4 shafts?
Stop it now :!:

Who here uses an ultrasonic cleaner? Has it been reliable? What size, what model, what features (heated, drain, etc), any dislikes? Do metal baskets leave any scars on nylon parts? Ever used it to clean a graphite or aluminum chassis?

Usually about 8-16 min depending on how skanky the parts are.

I did some digging when I first got it, but did not find anything. I agree, it has a familiar appearance.
