Re: Newbie post - ready to start a restore project

I have read a lot of guys like Masher 2k's but wanted to post What wheels and tires do you recommend for a basher setup. (FYI converting rear axles t...

Re: Newbie post - ready to start a restore project

Perfect thats great. So now I took on my last part of the teardown and I am stuck. I am taking the shocks apart (still waiting for my rebuild kid) I cant get the o-rings and spacers out of the shock. I read in the manual to use the shock tool to push then out and it does take some force to push them...

Re: Newbie post - ready to start a restore project

Wicked thanks VAE. I did find them. However I actually decided to replace all the screws and got a pack online for 12 bucks so thats the way I am going So I am steadily getting making progress.

Re: Newbie post - ready to start a restore project

VAE I was looking at your RC10T build (very sweet by the way!!!)

I wondered where you go the red screws from? Do you get them locally? or order them from somewhere. I am thinking of doing a colour theme for my build and wanted to get some different coloured items than stock

Thanks
Mike

Re: Newbie post - ready to start a restore project

Thanks VAE I wish I didnt have to go the online route but as far as I can tell there arent many LHS around unless I drive to Toronto and I dont enjoy that torture :(

I might do some test ordering from the US or try and find some good Canadian online sites. greathobbies.com looks promising actually

Re: Newbie post - ready to start a restore project

Ok guys Im back again i have been searching around about tires and I think I even confused myself :? I have read that the standard 2.2 tires cant go on the wheels I have but then looking at Rods build (black and orange - which looks amazing by the way) you used the original rims and put 2.2 tires on...

Re: Newbie post - ready to start a restore project

Thanks a lot Rod. One question though as these CVD's indicate they are for 3/16" rear axle but I have read there is a 1/4" rear axle as well. How do I know what mine is? Also wanted to say I read through both of your 10T builds and all I have to say is WOW!! Simply amazing work. I will be ...

Re: Newbie post - ready to start a restore project

Thanks for the feedback so far guys. I will work on getting the motor out so you can take a closer look. I honestly have no idea what it is?? Slotcarrod what is the reason for the RPM rear suspension mounts? Are rear mounts subject to breaking? Just curious as I had not seen this mentioned in my rea...
