Shocks are finally built using 1.02 rear and .71 front hard chrome shafts with the recommended spacers. Time to finish up the small details such as a few missing e-clips and roll pins, then I can move on the wheels and electronics.

A nice group of motors showed up. I'm most excited about the Race Prep. The can and endbell are both unique. I have no other motors like this. 1000011130.jpg I'm not a RP expert, but they typically have "Racing Motors" on the label instead of the "Performance" for their other of...

The Jim Halsey guide says the entire 6-gear assembly should spin freely for 15 seconds after doing the steps in the guide. First, I'd see if you can get a good 5+ second spin when you have the assembled drive gear & idler assembly in your hand. If not check the gear mesh. You can enlarge the ho...

Anyone know what the associated part number was for the black aluminum caps that originally came on the team version trucks? Might take a look at P/N 6439. Listed as gray though. Parts list linked below is a revised 1997 T2 parts list. AE's 10T parts list link takes you to a 1997 T2 parts list thou...

I haven't heard of issues like I had with the Dhawk ones either.

The factory AE was all steel. FWIW there's one on eBay.

Is this why the Stealth holes are drilled in the 40th chassis? https://i.imgur.com/dJRwmx3.jpg No. The 2013 re-re gold chassis (p/n 6300) has Stealth holes as well. Of course both the vintage AB & B stamped chassis are the ones that came predrilled for Stealth bitd. By the time people were actu...

Actually it is recommended you boil the parts after they completed a peroxide bath.

The link in the OP still renders the battery article on my iPhone.

I finally set some time aside to do some more work on this build. I passed on the B2 style turnbuckles and stuck with the same style used for the earlier Team/Worlds. AE Ball studs are all the later stainless variant. I wanted to keep my Worlds shock kit intact for another project, so I sourced colo...

The first iteration was a Yokomo "dry mag", and in 1988 they switched to the Yokomo "wet mag" when it became available.

I've tried all the links in this thread...the issues on internet archive I have on PDF, I have a lot of paper issues, but I'm missing from 1989 to 1994. Has anyone got a working pdf link for these issues? Thanks! It appears the link I posted back in Sept. finally threw the ghost. A lot of us have t...

Michael's has raised their price $75 (or more) over the past week. No longer a good deal.

Later Yokomo wet mag from around 1988/89.
