http://www.mcmaster.com Cheap, good quality, and in every different size you will ever need. I chuck mine into a tap handle or an old RC wrench handle and they are good to go. Can't build a car without them, for me. I prefer the twisted flutes instead of the straight, but that's just me. Cool thank...

Hi guys this might look like a stupid Q, but I was looking for some kind of an online place where I could buy a reamer to properly free up the suspension parts of some of my AE and old-school TRX builds. I looked into most of the places I usually shop from around the world, but didn't find what I wa...

Awesome work - inspiring... and bookmarked for my soon-to-come Dual WC restore

defo not the same price range tho

Since 1984, I have painted more Lexan than you can possibly imagine. There was a summer in the easrly 90s that I painted over 300 bodies. There was a small time where I scuffed the insides of bodies before painting (using a red 3M pad), and every single body that was done to gave poor results with ...

Mike, thanks for the help - they both are 1765's, ie a tad larger than the original 1665 I think. I fiddled with the shocks again these past 45 mns, and I came to something that is acceptable, although the shocks have considerable more rebound than I'd like for my modern racers. - cut some fuel tubi...

Argh. I hit a brickwall today.... I tried to build the shock ... but the #1765 diaphragms I have are somewhat too wide for the alum shock bodies, it's just impossible to get them done right, I've tried pretty much every method I know, including no diaphragm at all a la AE shock, with an o-ring for s...

I have the booklet for the esc, once i get home i can send you a scanned copy That's cool, thanks... the Amps rating is 300A that's pretty much all what the booklet says... but I found on the tekin archive today that the other top of the line speedos of that time also were rated 300A or so... I'll ...

I'm giving a shot with one of 550s I got a lot of parts of the bay for 40 bucks I built I gas car out of it and have the parts for another and the aluminum i need at work so it's somthing for fun project if it works ok I'll try brushless thanks for the advice gear it low... it will work but the thi...

hi i would like to know what you guys thing, can a standard brushed esc like the novak cyclone, or even a sport esc handle a 550 size motor such as traxxas 12t . doing a budget for now thunder tiger eb4 s2 electric converion. thanks the traxxas 12T can be handled by pretty much everything but the c...

Very cool project Any idea about the 411P's limits as I have one for my projects too, but not sure how much it'll take before it goes poof?

thanks!

well.....if you really need to have some flexibility there, you could use some silicone tubing. I've not really seen many cars that have a ball type bushing up at the top of the shock for offroad. There is usually enough slop that you can get 5-10 degrees of freedom there. The new associated ones a...

careful to the imax's balancing possibilities... it tends to be way off pretty often, messes up the cells after a while, so make sure you use 2S packs with access to the center port, like the orions for instance, so you can charge each cell in 1S mode individually rather than balance it and see them...

Yep thanks I saw yours... you started your thread pretty much when I started collecting the parts myself and beat me by a few weeks I love your car too
