Pancar, I bought my quick change tool post from A2Z off of Ebay. At the time they were roughly $79.00. I actually ordered the tool post a few day before I ordered the machine. I pretty much had everything lined up and on the way to the house before I ordered the machine. I know it's a bit backwards but I had already done all the research on what I wanted and was just ordering the stuff.

Looking to get a tire lathe with arbors for the RC10L front an rear . Tower lists a team cobra lathe but no arbors so thats off the list. Any other options? I am also thinking of setting up a jig on the drill press and go that route.

You should see what the large Maxmod will do to a purple 3 doughnut with the carbide cutter. Looks better than a burn out contest when you take over a half an inch

Some folks were requesting some specs of my machines so I figured I would start with the lathe. It is a 7 x 12 Cummins tool lathe (same as Harbour Freight, Grizzly, Micro Mark, and several others). It is made in China and with most things, there is...

Often I use WD40 as cleaner and protector. As cleaner removing it with a brush or with a towel and after the clean as protector leaving it drying. Never as lubricant.

In this case I intend to use motor cleaner do give to the lathe a deep clean...

Just a thought. I have an old Traxxas XL-1, and wonder if I can use it and a 6-Cell to make a decent compact power supply for a lathe. I dont see why not, but what do I know? I dont want to ruin anything.

Last post

Well, it just so happens, I have several Brand New MSCs I dont/wont use, and only a couple extra ESCs. So, I believe I will be hooking up one of the MSCs for my Lathe.

Although I have several ruined Stick Packs that probably have 1 or 2 good cells...

Anyone knows what is a good stock (non-rebuildable) motor lathe?

Or should I just stick with comm sticks and new brushes for motors that old...?

Last post

I remember opening up the stock motors and turning the comms on a mod lathe.
Just the 2 little bent tabs holding it together right.

I guess it pays off to not order from them for awhile :wink: . I was emailed this code a few days ago and just placed an order. So anyone who needs to stock up on some parts may want to give it a try.

discount code: 014B6

Just curious, how long has it been since you last ordered before you got the code. They must've really missed you, lol. :lol:

:shock: I just checked my order history and prior to today my last order (from Tower) was January of last year!
