so im trying to rebuild the 6 gear tranny and removing the snap rings from inside the outdrives is proving near impossible with the tools ive been able to get. Is there any tool that i dont need to modify to make work. I've tried harbor frieght's tool but it doesnt get tight enough to remove it. I'v...

I've tried a clip removal tool but could not get the right size. So instead i use the following simple tools and process: 1) clamp gear in vise (careful not to over tighten) 2) use the point of a awl or a suitably sized nail to secure one side of clip 3) use small screw driver to flex clip out of gr...

Just found that Wiha makes some with a .035 tip. That's the size of the tiny Allen for the 6 gear idler screws. I think this is the one.

so i had an odd solution work.

banged on the bearing from the backside to where it deformed it slightly but pushed it forward and pressured the ring

then with an eye glass screwdriver, slide in the lowered part(middle area) of the bearing and twisted. It shot out faster than i could see

Here are some pics that had been sent to me earlier, and are now public which is why I am posting them at this time as I was just notified that it is on their webpage, of one of the bodies & wings I painted up for Associated prior to the announcement of the RC10 re-release! I also sent them my d...

I like the "Made in USA" printed on the Pro-Line tires, as I'm sure will most folks who are in the States.

Ohh and a quick pic of the advanced engineering red anno wheels I just scored from shodog http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll11/sturmgewehr78/rc%20stuff/IMG_3072_zpsb6964583.jpg And another set I got for a future sprint car build http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll11/sturmgewehr78/rc%20stuff/IMG...

I hear that Jeff, I do mine in the garage now, God only knows what would happen, if something went wrong in her new kitchen with her new white cabinet doors, and me with a pot full of black Dye.........

Neat idea. Yeah I've had success (for awkward frp chassis/towers) putting a thin dye bath in a pyrex baking dish and putting it in the regular oven at about 175 (under the boiling point). The wife was out shopping that day.

Sabula Tech was formed originally as a computer and pinball support and service company. Now it is mostly RC and Pinball. I am also the creator of the vintagelosi.com website. While running vintagelosi.com, people kept asking to buy parts from me and I directed them to other places. Three years ago ...

First ever build....The couple I did with my uncle back in the 80's don't count. I might've contributed 2-3% n got on the brothers nerves on top of it. Man, definitively was fun but caused a lil despair along the way. I built after a couple nights, tightened up the last couple screws ....n notice a ...

a b4 cvd might just be about right. I think they are about 1/4" longer than the rc10/b2/b3

This might be old news to most, but I found a product at Michaels that's very close to AE's battery pad kits for a fraction of the cost (9"x12" under $2 each) just cut them up and apply them how you want 8) You can buy all sorts of colors or just plain 'ole black. You can do about 4 cars/t...

I was looking for something like this for my Panavise car stand....cool!
