Thanks for the info. One more question, what is the proper size wire for making the bar?

wing wire for the rear, smaller for the front... :wink:

I'll try to take a picture of the few I have and will let you decide the ones you want, then I'll shoot you a price for them. If I haven't done it by next Monday, please remind me. I'm quite busy these days

cheers for that temple, very useful.

Wow, thanks, yes I believe I would need the template if you can find time to scan and email it to me, though there is absolutely no rush as I only won these items last night!

Hehehe off I go to the BST section.... 8)

What's wrong with a '73 Super Beetle?

Sweet rides!

That chassis is starting to show up on ebay... I think I'll pick one up.

ya ive been hitting alot of local shops from long island, new york, new jersey and pennsylvania in my travels and been finding a bunch of great random stuff. i am surprised to find out what stuff is still out there and the stuff im able to find and...

ok so after testing, this is a official not even close lo, holes on the bottom were close, but not enough, the brace doesnt line up vertically with the tranny, and the braces holes arent too close either lol

I am going to work with a machinist this...

The Deja Vu 2 body came with the B3 World's update kit.

The POS FM I have found is the XTM stadium truck by Hobby People, Man that thing sucks. Now it really doesn't tell you anything! At least it has a picture to go by, I am so glad I don't work on that POS truck anymore. I was told it was a combination...

I'd use the sanding drum

Lol. Were you serious? I'm not that much of a n00b :lol:

:| Actually I was serious, yes.
How thick is the alu tub?

I've grinded stuff before and it works really well: because of the larger diameter than drill bits etc...

WOW! Quite the list. Thanks man!

I think I will take your advice and keep my eye out for an RC10T. We'll see.

In the mean time, I think I will throw on the extended A-Arms I bought and see if I can pick up a kit to use today's tires and wheels....

That's clever :shock: I'll try that... I may need longer screws but that may work...

i have no idea how the hot trick arms mount either. i've tried them both ways, and neither seemed like it was the way it should be. :wink:

Non I didn't I just had the truck one. Thanks!

definitely a RC10 MIP diff. and I would say it is a later version, but I haven't the knowledge to tell you exactly which one :cry: :wink:

There's an interesting thread. I had no idea there were that many versions. Based on the little I understand about suspension designs, I've been wondering what you'd use the far outer holes for on the 9-hole bulkhead. That'd be some severe camber...

I use new stuff. I'm not really a stickler for period correctness. Who's gonna know if you use ceramic bearings in your 6 gear anyways? :lol: Whatever keeps the cars together is what I use.

yep, they look sweet, I used a set on my RPM Ultra molded chassis, mine are Losi's... I just found that tightening the shock clamps just a little bit too much slightly hampers the travel of the piston because of the soft plastic, anyway, they look...

Thanks Tom!

As it sits, the top of the tub rides along the bottom of the red tape, hence the tape. With a shorter rear tower, you could lower the body slightly but it will be limited and flared out by the chassis. I might even add a lexan skirt to...

Thanks for the help.

so, did i do it right this time?

you know, the little hissy fits you throw everytime someone says something you don't like is getting kinda old. i'll be the first to admit that you were right, though. i took my time on this one, and didn't need to...

I know people who would use current shock fluids,

Usually between 60 - 100 wt.. if you are racing this then it will make a difference.. if you are not.. then it really does not make much at all.

Thicker the fluid the faster it will lock up..

does fibre-lyte still like sell parts and such and will they ship to the US?

yes they do and you can't beat those parts, they are absolutely awesome :wink: 8)

If you decide to sell the A&L one please let me know :D Thanks.

to this day i still get all mixed up on the frigging way ae labeled thier shocks.

I'm pleased I'm not the only one :? Thanks for the info chaps. :D

Well I no longer have those parts, so can't offer you visual proof, only my word as an officer and a..... oh never mind!

OK, start a new post whenever... 8)

Used to run 48P spur on my six gear trannys with no problems. The gear floats on the diff balls and all have some wobble without the pinion gear engaged. Can't remember who made the ones I ran but they fit great. Trackmaster made a long diff shaft...

well, shortening the wheelbase would help the car turn better. it would also help off corner traction, since there would be more weight transfered on the rear of the car. or, i could be talking out of my you know what. so, if anyone has anything to...

Does anyone know of an alternative to the 6216 front steering block and 6223 king pin

I have one missing and another cracked.

I've been hunting on ebay and nothing!

The 6217 in-line blocks will physically work, you'll also need 6218 axles. The...

i'm not sure about that. the fronts are probably 3/4 , and the rears could be 1 1/4 , maybe 1 1/2 .

Here's a very popular question.

When are they going to start making bodies again? :?

Or any other parts for that matter? Should we start buying all old stock from the hobbyshops? :)

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread but did anyone ever find a supply of 6360s white or black :?: . I could do with some I have most other stuff as spares but none of these.

He definitely changed the rears....... and then wore them out too! When I got the car, it had worn out yokomo tr-8 tires in the back and tq76 fronts. It had the 4-hole front shock tower, black idler gears (I think the short arm tq10 had the white...

here's the lengths to do all of the rods:

center link - 1
steering rod - 2.06
fr. camber rod - 1.65
r. camber rod - 1.25

Thats what I need!!! Thanks alot scr8p!

good site for scrws and such is

You should throw this in the sticky :D

The Wide Five tires are PRO-105, which should translate to 8105.

thanks. i guess they just put the wrong part number in the article.

no, they have the correct part number in the article. jeez, i must be freakin dyslexic or something. :lol:

iiii, correction: it's not just about turning the endbell 180°: that actually is identical to swapping the leads really.

The fact is your endbell is put a few degrees off from neutral postion.
That means the little screws are not exactly in the...

I've read 1.85 but it could have just been rounded up for math simplicity...

But anyways I've been a fan of the 6 gear forever and I think that when I switch to Lipos very shortly the added weight will be wickd for rear traction...With Nimh i do...

Nah, Jay, I know you knew, I was just kidding around saying I hadn't needed to write Hot Trick (I forgot to) as it was in my pictures!

they are 1/8 , which gives 3.18mm :wink: original refrence number: #6619

a buddy of mine just cleand his parts with bleachwhite tire cleaner with great results

instead of putting ca glue on my diff ringg here is what i do.i have taken all of my aluminum 2.25 outdrives that i use for racing and with the assistance of my drill press an end mill and a cross slide milling vise i cut them to accept a d-ring. i...

nope, they aren't available since quite a long time... Ebay is probably the best clue...

now THERE is a nice mip car...

i drooled over that car long before rc10talk.

Keep a 4-40 tap around handy for that stuff. An 8-32 doesn't hurt either.

I've had good luck running them dry in the past, however in the last few i rebuilt i put green slime on the thrust bearing and a very light machine oil on the 6 gears...most of the oil spins off but they stay wet and it seems to run very...
