No, that simply refers to the style of the tower.

I like the A&L towers, and use various ones on several of my cars. But functionally, there isn't much difference.

Before painting a new set of shocks, I'd probably settle for the dark grey with black caps.

Looking at the pictures, that looks like a J plug. So it'd be a 111B.

I have one. But unfortunately, it has a bad potentiometer.

I would use some type of etching primer. Painting aluminum is hard enough, anodized aluminum is even worse.

Got me a Tekin dyno, so that my Bud's dyno will have some company on the shelf.



I realize that I have a oversized mailbox but this is ridiculous.

I just keep buying broken mowers from Lowe's and putting my Honda motor on them.

They probably don't need much but that Honda doesn't need anything.

Things to keep in mind: Not all bearings are created equal. Not by a long shot. Most RC bearings are actually on the cheaper side of the spectrum. I've paid $20+ each for some of the bearings in my fishing reels. Not all bearing oils are created equal, especially when trying to get something to spin...

For my fishing reels, I make my own mix of TSI 321, Corrosion X, and 99% IPA. It's mostly alcohol as a carrier fluid.

I flood the bearings in it and let the alcohol evaporate, leaving a thin film of TSI and Cor X.

You can see the dimple in the tab, where it was re-pressed.





The purple heatsinks look like the ones on my GM motors.

Just saying. And those probably aren't their top of the line bearings.
