Re: Notes on Anodizing
You caught my attention. Can you tell me any more? I don't know of Dave Geitner , has he used and compared anodized samples? I've ordered a couple of Caswell's dyes and so far haven't had any headway. Almost tried gold n. I did look at there example of gold s, it appeared too bright and too yellow. ...

Re: RC10 - A Stamp Rebuild - Chipped Idler Gear
The D-Hawk bearing adapter is not really necessary IMHO. "Should I put bearings in this kit, or are there any other improvements I could make in the gear box while it's open ?" Bearings is yes. The best investment in a 6 gear transmission is taking the burrs off the teeth of all the metal ...

Re: So, what did you do RC today?
Try either UltraHiVE on Ebay or mciracing.ca.
UltraHiVE's are said to be more premium and MCI's are probably more affordable.

Oh man..
Only about 40 mins to Peroutka's Meat Processing for Swedish potato sausage!!
I love the potato sausage and their bratwurst. Dang I'm feeling like Pavlov's dog.

Kyosho Outrage
I completely disassembled and thoroughly cleaned this car, I'm not sure it was ever run.

Re: Turbo Optima mid SE
This is getting picky but... The gear I was going to use to replace the Kyosho OT-86 counter gear was a Robinson RRP-3750 for Optima Mid. The Robinson is a much better gear than the poor excuse for a gear that Kyosho made but the Robinson is 32p. Why 32p, why not the correct .8mod??? I found an M.I....

Re: Vintage Kyosho Rocky - NiCad to NiMH conversion
The motor's heat questions can be partially addressed by gearing. I inexpensively modified 3 items on my Rocky. 1. I cleaned and polished the MSC printed circuit board with McGuire's polish. 2. I replaced the contacts on the MSC wiper arm. 3. I replaced the old broken ceramic resistors with higher w...

Re: Printed gears question
Thanks Doug
It appears that to find any Google reference to the gear and find their site you must add "acetal" in the search terms.
And RWR doesn't use Kyosho's part #?
Anyways to beat that, shipping was 6 quid!

Printed gears question
I recently had 2 Kyosho OT-85 center gears (idlers) printed by Shapeways. The gears were printed MJF PA12. Vapor smoothing or any smoothing was not an option. The gear faces are not particularly well finished. Probably nature of the beast. I really just wanted try and design a proper gear in 360 to ...

Re: So what did you get in the post today ???
An MIP counter gear OT-85 replacement. This gear is most probably .8 mod and has very smooth gear face. And a pair of printed center gears OT-85 ( MJF PA12 ). MIP & center gears.1.JPG Kyosho's OT-86 gear faces look more like a meat grinder or medieval torture device. Kyosho OT-86.1.png Not s...

Re: Where are you getting your tie-rods?
On a couple of builds I've used Secraft stainless steel tie rods.
They are cheap and have a pretty cool retro vibe.
Both 4-40 and m3
