You'll want to gear down for sure. You may want something like a 16 tooth with a 4300kv motor.

if you aren't really racing, just running in the yard or street, as long as you are happy with the performance, motor temps are OK and the esc isn't getting smoking hot, then it's probably good enough. The ESC will really get hot when you are part throttle for most of a battery pack, which is where ...

the best method I have used(and will use in the future) is light glass beading. I also think the magnesium should be waxed or oiled afterwards to prevent oxidation. that I haven't really tried yet, but plan to. if you use glass beads and don't focus down tight with lots of air pressure, you won't re...

the trackstar esc/motor is a great choice. find a lipo shorty pack in the 4300-4600mAh range for a good balance of weight, size and run time. don't use that radio, it's not for surface. You want a 2 or 3 channel radio for a stick radio or 2-4 channel for wheel/trigger radio. The gimbals on that 6 ch...

KILL-ER!!!!!

am I seeing windshield wipers???

Yes you could copper plate a set of springs pretty easily. They are just slightly different rate than the associated silvers.

Servos work in any orientation, and some cars do place the servo vertically, such as the losi xx4. Nothing wrong about any servo installation from a function standpoint as long as it's secure, can travel without binding, and allows for a symmetrical range. It may not look right, and shaft down is ce...

Yes it works as a filler. I believe having it in the mix will also create more heat from the reaction so you have to use caution on how much you use and what you put it on.

No, not exactly. You can still get b4 style with the top broached hex. They install like the originals but have no hex shoulder. It's not the end of the world from a functional standpoint but if you are doing a replica or restorations that need the hex shoulder, it's that much harder now. When those...

looking at the website and the datasheets, the professional is multi-jet (HP) technology powder, intended to be used for the HP printers. the versatile plastic is for the SLS process and the non HP printers. both materials are polyamide, aka nylon, but there are a number of formulas. their mechanica...

Drill and tap to take a screw rather than a make thread.

Yup, avid rc sells them for a buck each, and also offers kits.

check fit. added small plastic stop, mounted with 1" hex standoffs, and decided on a keyhole mount in the front due to very close body clearance in this location, with a thumb nut to be added when I make it. brace was cleaned up with a file on the edges and radii to smooth out the bit of kerf l...

Go for it. The one I'm building has a denim blue dye job..... How did you get the "denim blue" color? Recipe? I'd like to do a set of wheels. :mrgreen: I bought em that way........i think the guy said denim blue is actually a rit color, so i guess that's what he used. I couldn't pass up t...

yep, this guy with a plug added would look nice:
