... The Chonmage race format they have devised means there's a lot more luck involved if you win, rather than the spend all week setting up your buggy and throw every option part at it to make it as fast as possible so you take the racing more seriously to justify your investment. There's already a...

Found that RcMart is selling some of the items https://www.rcmart.com/pine-beach-raceway They have a link for sales to international buyers https://shop-pbrw-net.translate.goog/categories/4342352?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp They use a service to handle the japan ...

Thank you!! Are these the correct carbide diff balls? https://portal.associatedelectrics.com/factoryteam/parts/details/6619-ASC6619-ft_carbide_diff_balls_1_8_in/ Any 1/8 diff balls will work. For normal use, I use the cheap RJ Speed ones. Once Associated stops selling diff rings for the six gear (o...

most all 1/10th shock o-rings works.
I use the traxxas 2362 rebuild kit o-rings. Associated makes low friction x-rings. I also use these Avid X-rings

It's like elimination racing! There was a buggy that flipped over and got left that way as an obstacle! :lol: I also saw reverse get used. Very excellent track and participants. I did understand a little bit of what they said. My language skills must be better than I thought. I clearly heard "...

Very cool video. 👍 Was thinking the same thing, can't understand 'em, but they look like they're having a blast. Pretty lineup of cars too. The one at 15:40 and 19:00 with the mechanical speed controller, AM receiver, and lipo battery was cool. Liked the tight track and how quiet it was, no announc...

I don't know what they are saying but it looks like a great time.

If I have learned anything over the last few months it's that the American companies no longer have the integrity they once did. It will definitely change the way I think about them. That said, AE is still doing more than any other company for releases. I will tend to focus more on Kyosho and Schum...

To liven up an decades old thread.
Why were full circular diff rings used on off road cars when the D and double cut style started to be used for on road?

It seems that the ability to run a loose differential would be most needed off road.

Ten years is a long way out. I can't see AI having a real big influence unless someone makes an AI driver stability system. I can see AI having a real big influence as RC cars become autonomous AI driven events. I'm having my kids build RC10t's because you can use it as the base of robotic racer. Tr...

Yeah, a lot of the T2 would require different tooling to reproduce as well like the GT, but the fact that they just did the GT means anything is possible. The T2 batt hold down is not currently lipo friendly either. Maybe, just maybe they will go off the deep end and surprise us with there take on ...

A few months ago I would have said a T2 was unlikely due to its unique chassis tub, a lot of work making a new chassis mould for a limited number of sales compared to the buggies, but then they released the GT so anything goes these days. Based on the other chassis they rereleased if it does happen...

We will have Factory Works chassis braces and aluminum pulleys in a couple weeks, I think you will find them worth the wait. Don't need to be used together, but the larger pulley has more belt wrap so it slips less, and the stiffener lets you run the belt slightly looser since you don't have to acc...

Ok I take it back. If this is what happens when AE comes up with their own ideas, I see why they stole , appropriated, the ten4 design.

My vote is to work on the stripped out one first. The cut down one looks pretty nice. You always figure out how to do things better after the first build.
