Local consignment score
Found this for a song in Burbank. Looks like it has technacraft turnbuckles, houge bellcrank, some weird shock towers I don't know, cvds, an interesting washboard like motor heatsink, carbon transmission brace, RPM gear cover and a Novak 410-M5. It also included about 16 (yes, sixteen) scr battery packs. Some of the parts were white and have been dyed and the chassis has some left over residue from chassis tape. It should clean up nicely.

Re: Local consignment score
I thought the new rule was that you had to post up the cost so we can all see how much of a bargain it was.
Nice score!

Re: Local consignment score
Yes, these are the shock towers. What are they made out of? I don't think they are carbon fiber. The price was roughly 500 pesos.scr8p wrote:i think they're a&l/factory works towers, kinda hard to tell from the above shot.

Re: Local consignment score
I've disassembled the car and it never ceases to amaze me how poorly people put cars together. This guy did one of those gorilla kung-fu grip tightening jobs on all the screws. The inside of the transmission is packed with black grease. Awesome! The chassis is straight and everything else seems to work. I think I may create another what's old is new car. Basically, all I need are the suspension arms and a handful of easy-to-obtain parts.
Re: Local consignment score

Re: Local consignment score
It's always fun to giggle when you take apart a car built by a trained ape. When I got that ebay B3, the guy had spayed wd-40 in the diff.

No, I will not help you with your dorky short course truck…sorry, it’s against my religion. If it's not a 1/10 scale buggy...I don't care.
Re: Local consignment score
Personally, I like the guys who Loctite EVERYTHING. Loctite on locknuts, on self-tapping screws, I even found one that had loctite on some e-clips! They are usually the same ones that use a half roll of electrical tape on the wires, but at least that's a step up from duct tape
In the words of Red Green:
"If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy."
"If at first you don't succeed, then use more duct tape."
"You cannot make a fine quality lager using Kool-Aid Technology ..."
"Duct tape is like the force, it has a light side, a dark side and it holds the universe together."
DUCT TAPE RULES!!

Years ago I started off with nothing ... and I still have most of it left.

My Dad hated to take me to the hobby shop. So when I was younger I found myself rebuilding diffs with a can of Quaker State wheel bearing grease.
