Ok I got some random pieces laying around and I need some info on them. First off, i have a pair of u joint axles. They are 4" long and they are grey. What car do these belong to? The guy I bought my futaba fxt from had them on it but they were too short...any help? Second up I've got some whee...

i have an rc10 graphite edition i bought off ebay a couple years ago for $100... It has very few stock things as well. I think only the body posts, tranny brace, radio antenna holder, battery cup, rear bulkhead and front arms are stock. It's got some really weird rear shock tower. I'll have to get s...

I have always run any of my 6 gear cars with the metal idllers and the car is always pretty quiet for me even on a brushless setup. the metal idlers cause it to make a bit more of a "zing" noise while it drives, which is why the plastic idlers are quieter.

Yeah I got the idea when i got tired of spinning out on pavement and slamming the rear corners into the fence poles and breaking stuff.

I thought that was just some mega image distortion when.i first looked at it. Holy cow that thing is beyond words... Good luck I'd like to see how it works out.

Thanks its quite a piece. The worst part though is that I now need a place to run it...since we moved to the city there's no dirt like at our old house in the country. I'm hoping to get some money to buy an rc10t parts truck or somethong with a larger stance to go through gravel and grass.

Well if anyone wants it it's in the BST area for sale as a parts lot...needs some parts but to would make a great beginner runner. I kind of needed some of the parts for later and I need the money from its sale.

Yeah i guess so. I'll have to try the pinion swap tomorrow and see if that works just a thought: would changing the pinion to the correct pitch help keep some heat down? Kind of like when gear mesh is adjusted corectly that heat goes down a bit? Heat build up seems to be my largest problem at the mo...

Thanks I'll be sure to do that. I suppose the gear does appear to be sligtly larger pitched than a standard 48 pitch gear. So would any tamiya pinion work for this truck? I know tamiya used the metric 48 pitch at some point if not still currently.those might be easier to get I think. Also what about...

Yeah i have an 18 tooth pinion that I've got and thats the smallest size I have, but when I put it on the truck it never contacts the main tranny gear. I've tried several.motors and every mounting hole but nothing fits. That's why i was hoping to know what motor and pinion go in there...

I never would have guessed that I needed to upgrade the idlers even in a stealth tranny... Wow

True. I'm a little short on parts for trucks around my house so I just used what I had for the time being. It actually handles really well both in grass and on pavement for being so stiff. I'll get a video up sometime. It's actually a pretty sweet truck considering I didn't think I'd be able to use ...

I need to keep it stiff to go through the tall grass around my house. I'm going to venture a guess that the tall grass and the excessively large tires are what's causing my electronics heat up so quickly :D . Anyway I had messed around with the bump steer a ton with no results... I like bell cranks ...

Ok since I couldn't sell my FXT I decided to do some work to it. It's far from finished, but it's fun to beat around the yard and down the street. Here's my current (and growing) list of mods that I've done to the truck: - Proline Masher 2000 monster truck tires on all four corners - Custom lightwei...

I've used bleach on those parts... It kind of worked, but now the parts are waiting to be wet sanded because the bleach made them get a little "fuzzy". Peroxide I've never gotten to work on anything. This is my method for whitening yellowed parts: rinse woth water, soak in ammonia for 1 da...
