Those tires look too worn to consider trying to restore them. I'd just replace them. The front wheels are three piece versions, that clamp the tires in place. They "shouldn't" be glued. Traxxas still sells a 2.1 step pin that fits them perfect, and they are only ~$8. Schumacher has a coupl...

Those type of kits are fairly poor quality. Except for a shelf car, they are near useless. The rear hex is simple enough. You just need the hex that fits your axles.

I have four Stadium Blitzers and a buggy that uses mostly Blitzer parts. I also have a Futaba FXT, which is like the Blitzer's first cousin. When you get ready, l...

Any thoughts if I’m running the 16t pinion? A 16 is too small for a stock motor. You'd have to run such a small spur to compensate they probably wouldn't even mesh. Get an 81 Kimbrough spur and a cheap assortment of pinions off ebay. If you use the link for the spur for purchase, make sure you choo...

I soak Tamiya plastics in cold water anyways.
