Re: How many active tracks within an hour?

Also, depending what is going on you might have to bring your high tolerance for a$$hats. Like everything, this place will usually have a couple hanging around. I think I should start another thread, anyone go to track with no a$$hats. Anything special about this track that brings out more than usu...

Re: Traxxas TRX1 Modern Racer build

Small world. Not sure if your whole car was mine but I owned that body for sure 5 years ago or so and lots of your car looks familiar. I got the car from another friend of mine who no longer posts here. He did a few parking lot races with it, I sat it on my shelf and it went to ebay when TRX1's sold...

Re: Traxxas TRX1 Modern Racer build

I think it looks good now or whatever you do to it. I really like that paint. Of all the cars and it's been a lot at this point, that would be top three I regretted selling the day I let it go. Enjoy it.

Re: Re-anodizing Traxxas Blue Shocks

I've done a little reanodizing of RC10 tubs and other small bits with local anodizer. The finish varies a lot based on prep. Just take it to them with no prep kind of a dull. A little fine sanding finishing working up to say 2000 grit its better but all small scratches can be seen, just keep in mind...

Re: My Ultima rere racer

So now I have seen a Bandit front end on an Ultima and RC10 here. SInce Bandit came out in 1994, it's vintage as far as I am concerned. I am building a carbon fiber chassis Bandit right now with the new 272R transmission. Nothing on it would not bolt backwards onto an OG 1994 Bandit. I digress. You ...

Re: Mid Motor Rustler - V2

Impressive work! MX Acres on youtube right not is proving a regular old Bandit can compete so this version you should have an IFMAR contender :D

Re: Traxxas sending cease and desist letters to aftermarket companies then backing off.

Business is ruthless. If I took a stand against any company that used lawyers and size to their advantage I'd not be able to consume or own anything at this point. Hate the game, not the player so to speak.

LRM A-3006 Diff Center Gear Differences?

A3006.jpg
Never seen this before and have had a lots of them. Triangle center? I could see how it would create less friction yet still support at this common area for melting?

Re: So why did the RC10 lose at the IFMAR 1987 again?

AE always seems like Porsche to me at IFMAR at least. They flood the grid. I don't know about today but in a lot of old racing series of 80's and 90's, 25 say of the 30 cars on the grid were a Porsche, odds are they would podium at least then. Bit simplified but just my anecdotal observation. Take t...

Re: Top CAT rocker geometry

Can't answer your question directly but did see a video on youtube with two guys who competitively run Topcats in Vintage and other races and they discussed how these made by Bezerk address the issue of Topcat geometry causing the front to get softer as it compresses. https://bezerk.com.au/topcat-fr...
