I sent you a PM a couple of days ago but it’s stuck in my outbox, I wonder if your inbox is full?
Thank you.

aip47-2008 is a great guy! We raced together regularly about 30 years ago at the same tracks. However, he was an avid 4wd racer and I raced just 2wd. The fun memories!
I only recently got back into RC cars, but throughout the years/decades have always kept at least one Tamiya tool in my box. They tend to fit a lot of things and it is much easier to use than a wrench or pliers. They are a perfect fit for many...

if you want to use 1/8 standard wheels then you will want to use a standard 1/8th hex drive ( don't know what that is ) not the Tamiya style drive flange

Hey guys. It's been a while! I am still alive and well, just needed a break from RC cars due to other priorities. I started autocrossing my '55 bug and have been really focused on it, plus family, camping, off-roading... You know how it goes!
I've been watching this series on a new streaming service called Peacock. I'm 7 episodes in and it's pretty interesting.

One of the issues with reproduction bodies, as we all know, is that many of them are produced by making a mold of an original, which in the end produces a smaller copy of the original. Has anyone considered making a body mold using 3d printing? As...

Cold air intakes best gains are in the looks department. Like others have said. Unless other things have been modified the stock air box breathes as good as the stock engine needs. I’ve seen plenty of people test the theory on a dyno and the gains...

This is true but at least we're in control of them instead of relying on third parties. The monthly hosting bill will eventually increase as a result but it will regardless. Allowing attachments just reaches that point sooner.

Thoughts on using ultrasonic cleaners for rc parts? If you have, what products did you use? Is it safe for the plastics? Any suggestions/ experiences would be appreciated. Thanks!

I use them daily at work, hot heat setting with the proper cleaning fluid for what you are cleaning.
We use one part Mr Clean to 3-4 parts water to clean anything. You could use Simple Green in the same formula for RC parts.
