It's a bug! Planning on repainting. Got this on it today:

Finally got the chance to have a drive on the track today, was going perfectly until right at the end I got alittle off line on the back straight & hit a steel fence post head on! took a chunk out of the guard, blew off a headlight & knocked off a camber adjustment rod. It's all fine & ...

Lookin good, great choice on the Trinity motor! What you doing for the body? Ordered a Protech today. Might use that bug body in my BST post...but gotta be black with white or silver sport stripes sounds cool. Simple paint job maybe with a few decals. The blank bodies are piling up with all the RC ...

Thanks for the reminder...I ordered some button screws for the tubes today...trying not to drive it too much until they arrive. Admittedly the charger is ticking away now.

Done for the most part....

I was piddling in garage this afternoon and had an idea. I wrapped the motor plate in paper towels then sprayed with carb and choke cleaner letting it soak for about ten minutes. The powder coat "wiped" off easily with a flat screwdriver. It was orange powder coat (see first post.) http://...

Steering and camber rods cut to length:

Front Steering: 37mm
Front Camber: 23mm
Rear Camber: 27mm
Steering Linkage: 24mm

EDIT: These turned out to be a little too short. On a few I had to add around 3-5mm.

Where can I get part #6633 the felt seals for the 6 gear diff? you dont, you buy the bearing that fits in its place .. i bet bearings are cheaper then felt seals. just my opinion I looked and looked for new seals and they are just too high. I looked around here and saw someone's car with bearing th...
