    If you can find a set of Losi Micro T/DT wheels they will supposedly slip onto the Orlandoo wheels with just an O ring.

    I like mine. I may grab another to keep as a monster truck style. I've stripped this one down to do a class 1 or zero on

    Sounds like you got a pretty awesome truck. I have a big 8ight te3.0 but our indoor track is kinda tight, so I only really run it on the big truck outside. So that was why I'm so excited about the 1/10 Tekno. I'm pretty sure mine will be in today! Hope to start building when I get back from vaca next weekend.

    Ya I'd be curious to hear how it was. I am shocked people it theirs already. It's like 2 weeks ahead of when they said they would initially start shipping. I ordered mine through my track's shop. He usually gets his orders in on Wed, so we were thinking today. Hope so. But I saw on some RC forums that a few guys already have theirs up and running lol. Lucky.

    oh i think the guy who had it is a Tekno sponsored driver, might have something to do with how he has it and build already

    I think they are showing 'In stock' at AMain. And some of the people on forums who have theirs are just regular people who preordered, like I did. But regardless, cool that there was one at your track already.

    Wow that is small. Still considering it even though it would be over $100 to build

    Nothing major but I think it’ll make a major difference. RC4WD 1.0 Super Swampers. They’ve been out of stock everywhere for months. Now back in stock and now installed on some Shapeways full offset Mickey Thompson Classic IIs.

    I know, right. Everything comes in pairs, too. 5 days after buying these tires they’re gone from fleaBay already.

    You would think that a company so into scale crawlers would be smart enough to sell sets of five to have the 5th tire for scale purposes but there not there yet. Axial does it on the honcho, jeep, bomber, even vattera does it so its pretty clear sets of 5 would sell.

    One would think... RC4WD does sell singles in almost everything though. But these ar never in stock and for a micro I am not worried. It bothered me so bad on my Honcho that I just made a flatbed in the end.

    I drug out my OG Honcho a few days ago. I dabbed up some links but I don’t know how well they’ll hold up as it was an experiment. 4mm stainless rod from fleaBay China, that is really hard, and an m4 die. Simple to make and the Traxxas rod ends screw right on but they aren’t very tight. I think I’ll look for some 4.5mm rod next time. The CMS is from an scx10.2 but the horn angle is off. Then my ESC was dead in reverse. Drug out the old AE-2 and it was giving me fits to set up on the Tx. So I robbed the HobbyWing 1080 from my Wraith. I’ll put it all through the wringer next week. Maybe even some 3s since I’ve got a 50t motor in there. LOL.
