got me there, I'm bad for that...so lazy

I always use Velcro to mount my Futaba 2.4 RX. I can swap from car to car in just a second or two. The Velcro acts as a shock absorber as well!

i put a hole in the side of the tube on the bottom. this way, i pull the receiver and antennae(in the tube) and put on another car...just a idea

I love the orange, I settled for the green on mine, but that orange looks great. if I do another one it will be orange nice build it looks great.

I do that too, use Velcro for everything. I used to just feed the antennae in and out each time, but this new stuff that I wired in is a hair thicker than normal, so it's a real pain to get into the tubes. I might try some receiver boxes in the future, now that there are more weatherproof ESCs on the market.

Got the shocks built this morning before going trail rigging. Here are some of my shock tips:

HOW TO POLISH YOUR CRUSTY OLD SHAFT

The original shafts are all crusty and pitted.



I don't have the coin now to buy new ones! So you put the shaft in the Dremel chuck and use a strip of 600 grit (or finer) sand paper and polish it!



After you polish one end of the shaft, flip it and do the other. See how the threaded end (in chuck) is shiny and the piston end is dull! I finish off with a cotton rag to realy get it smooth



USE GREEN SLIME SO YOUR POLISHED SHAFT GOES IN SMOOTH



FILL BODY WITH FLUID WHILE YOUR FINGER PLUGS THE BOTTOM!



INSERT SHAFT SLOWLY WHILE REMOVING FINGER FROM BOTTOM



NO AIR BUBBLES

You know? Not one comment from the likes of Reg, scr8p or any of the other demented minded people on this forum. I even put the sentences in red! I'm disappointed!

[rc10johnny]

FILL BODY WITH FLUID WHILE YOUR FINGER PLUGS THE BOTTOM!

INSERT SHAFT SLOWLY WHILE REMOVING FINGER FROM BOTTOM

huh, so I got to remove my finger from the bottom while inserting the shaft...I'll have to try that for now on and see how the results are. As a rule of THUMB I usually keep the finger in

[slotcarrod]

La La La La!

[slotcarrod]

I have been neglecting my 10T for a few weeks, so I thought I should try to make some progress. I don't want to turn into scr8p and have 4 year builds!

Anyway, I got the RPM body mount kit from Al, RPM 2.25 Stealth gear cover from Anthony and the Savox Servo form HRP (thanks dudes!). I painted all the RPM logos, again!

I dyed the dust fomie thingies orange but did not like the shade. I will try to dye another set to get it better! I picked up some neon orange and pink vinyl sticker paper, bet you can't guess what I'm going to make with that????

[RedScampi]

It's a beautiful thing! Keep going...

[vintage AE]

Hey Rod, could I get that gear cover back? I cant seem to find one for the build I'm doing now

[JK Racing]

Oh heck! I can't hold it any longer!!!!! What was that, 5 minutes????

This is the theme!

Found this on a Short Course Forum, thought about this build...
