Those brushes are shot. There probably isn't any spring tension on them.

I don't recommend the YouTube sandpaper method. What is the you tube sandpaper method? Sounds a lot like something I would try. What's wrong with it? It is basically wrapping a piece of sandpaper around the comm and twisting the armature. It is very crude and inconsistent. You can't correct highs a...

Here, you can see where my chassis has been clearanced. You probably don't need that much, I simply cleaned up what someone else had previously done.

Got the D4S amp and crossovers mounted behind my seat.

I reused the mounting posts from my old setup by using some Kydex sheets.

I have two of them. One is clearly a Yokomo, probably a newer version. The other doesn't have any markings, but it has a very Kyosho-ish vibe (the endbell and brush hoods are VERY similar).

- With the release of the CC and 40th anniversary cars, there's a chance that AE might release a batch of new ones. - Same as above, you can look on Ebay for guys parting out new cars. - You can still find new original gears on Ebay from time to time. Expect them to be pricey. The newer black ones a...

I think I'll stick with my Wera handle.

11X8 bearing adapters and 4X8 bearings should do it.

I've been busy this year but I'll play. This started out as a $25 Frog parts car, then evolved into the Brat/Blackfoot hybrid you see here. The original Frog chassis, transmission side plates, and battery holders have all been painted. The front and rear control arm mounts, MSC mount, and front body...

I've got 7 or 8 Futaba esc's. The only problem that I've had was a bad potentiometer on one.

Looks like black paint.

0.71 shocks are on the long side for a short arm car, particularly if you want a lower ride height.

If you have enough clearance at the body, a Factory Works 0.89 tower will allow you to use them. Jeff has a few different versions.

This shows Andy's arms but the information applies to short arms as well.

No, that simply refers to the style of the tower.

I like the A&L towers, and use various ones on several of my cars. But functionally, there isn't much difference.
