Before painting a new set of shocks, I'd probably settle for the dark grey with black caps.

Looking at the pictures, that looks like a J plug. So it'd be a 111B.

I have one. But unfortunately, it has a bad potentiometer.

I would use some type of etching primer. Painting aluminum is hard enough, anodized aluminum is even worse.

Got me a Tekin dyno, so that my Bud's dyno will have some company on the shelf.



I realize that I have a oversized mailbox but this is ridiculous.

I just keep buying broken mowers from Lowe's and putting my Honda motor on them.

They probably don't need much but that Honda doesn't need anything.

Things to keep in mind: Not all bearings are created equal. Not by a long shot. Most RC bearings are actually on the cheaper side of the spectrum. I've paid $20+ each for some of the bearings in my fishing reels. Not all bearing oils are created equal, especially when trying to get something to spin...

For my fishing reels, I make my own mix of TSI 321, Corrosion X, and 99% IPA. It's mostly alcohol as a carrier fluid.

I flood the bearings in it and let the alcohol evaporate, leaving a thin film of TSI and Cor X.

You can see the dimple in the tab, where it was re-pressed.





The purple heatsinks look like the ones on my GM motors.

Just saying. And those probably aren't their top of the line bearings.

Their tires are in and out of stock. I suspect that they do small batches. If you really want some, I'd message them in regards to the next batch.

It's a Quarter Flash. Mine says it on the corner of the decal.

Mine uses a Yokomo SP can and measures 38° of timing on my Fantom jig.

Yes, 27T super stock.

Jammin Products made diff tubes and hubs that are already machined. The tube was also better.

It's sad that one of the insect cars didn't have a driver named Buzz.

A little motor rehab. Actually, just new decals on motors that I'd already rebuilt.
The Kyosho's are real. The B&R is a 19/2 Yoko, Speedworks is a 19/2 Trinity, one blue label is a Yoko super stock, and the other is a MVP arm and endbell in a mod can.
