i never understand it .. there are people making over $100,000 a year and they cant even work on a rc car..
Once again, just because someone takes in good coin has nothing to do with their mechanical abilities--or there general knowledge of the world at large.
I have released a front suspension kit for the RC28, SC28, MT28, RC28T, and other 1:28 scale cars and trucks. It's a direct bolt-on kit that replaces the lame living hinge front end on these cars with genuine suspension. The kit makes the cars...

Got mine installed today! Love it! It also makes it look like a real rc!
I'm still tinkering with my eBay rescue RC12LW that only came with three wheels/tires, and the rears are of the old two-screw variety. I think I've managed to find a way to assemble a working diff and thrust using the original rear axle and RC4Less...

Its kinda hard to tell the color of the motor can in the pic, but if it is a reddish/florescent red then it is a 16 triple (speed gems ruby). If it is more of a florescent orange can, then it is an 11 triple (speed gems topaz).
Dug out my sons B4.2 this weekend. Switched out the stock motor and electronic speed controller for an extra Novak combo I had sitting around. I would like to get a new body for this. Anyone have a line on bodies for this thing. The pre painted body...

I had initially planned on rehabbing a pretty shabby T3 into something nice. However I had an ebay seller agree to sell me a very nice condition T3 RTR.

It was in excellent condition except for the electronics. It came with an lrp...
