Heat gun worked perfect. I softened one spot and than I was able to just peel the whole layer of rubber off.

Congrats, those things work great for lots of purposes.

I remember years ago, I was working out in the shop on something showing one of the kids what a heat gun did compared to a hairdryer, and I mentioned offhand (joking), "and if you kids keep pissing off your mom, I'm going to use this on you guys." Took me a while to figure out why they were acting like angels, but alas, it only lasted about 6 months.

Hi guys - i've just recieved a very nice original RC10 off US ebay, i'm really pleased with it (especially considering what I paid) It looks virtually new.... with only enough tell-tale scratches on the u/side of the chassis to suggest one or two...

I have a really good solution to this problem that does not cause any damage to the surface. For almost any type of tape residue, apply rubber cement, wait a minute and then rub off. Also works well on the tough to remove double sided tape...

I picked up a vanilla chassis'd yr f2 about 12 months ago, in a pretty bad state of repair. Fast forward to today and she's looking a whole lot healthier. However she's now in need of some tyres. The front and rear wheels are different widths and...

Last post

Basically you can go for regular narrow width rear tires and wide front tires, or ultra-narrow rear tires and narrow fronts.

Does anyone have a definitive answer for this? After searching a good bit on this site and others, I will ask the question:

Will new size rubber (2.2) fit on the YZ10 ROAR sized wheels (5.5cm or 2.17in). I have a great set of the orange wheels and...

I remember making simple ones of these as a kid with a pvc pipe, some super glue and clothes pins.

Just found a seller on ebay that has a full set for a 10t . Asking 17.50 which includes shippjng. Any thought on the rubber sealed or price?

Last post

Just followed the link onthe revolution bearings .. love the idea of being able to take out the rubber side n put metal in its place if you want.

I agree, I think I will give them a shot.

Has anyone tried a mod to this vehicle to get modern rubber on it?

Those that know, did the 91 or 93 use the square hex hub? I think the 93 had already changed, but what about the 91?

Assuming there ever was 2.2 wheels with the square hex.. is...

Last post

There was 870C not long ago on this site which had front knuckles of a kyosho optima mid but original yok hubs.
So, if the yok axles fit Kyosho knunckles, than I suppose kyosho axles would fit Yok knuckles also...
So you could probably use Kyosho's...

So I have a Logitech slim LED keyboard that is a few years old but i don't feel like spending close to $100 to replace. All hat is wrong is the rubber domes under the keys are going out. I talked with Logitech about replacements but they refuse to...

Did these ever come in the kit box or where they just an aftermarket item? Does anybody have any pics of them actually installed?

Last post

Thanks for the info guys. I just thought they might look cool on one of my builds. If not, maybe I can find a clown to make me some balloon animals. Temple, thanks for the pic.
