Anyone into R/C?

Putting trenchers on my SC10 right meow...

Got any video of that new motor yet?

 

first off thought i would say hi to everyone.. i just got back into rc a couple weeks ago. bought a new t maxx 3.3. last truck i had was a rc10t...back in like 99. anyway this thing is awesome..took a while to get it started the first time but that was my fault..but since then its been good. second bro'd out rc trucks... they complete with east county or cali lifts? lol.

 

Negitive, I'v only ran it a total of about 10-15min and iv bent a shock, broke a drive shaft and stripped a spider gear in the front diff . The broken front driveshaft is whats holding me back now, should have the new parts thursday.

Hoping the new stuff will be able to take the power and I can run it for awhile. Let me know how you like your trenchers, I did alot of reading and alot of people recommend them.

 

My brother has some on his losi desert truck and they seem to do really well. after almost a month there's hardly any signs of wear. But, his truck isn't making near as much power as your's.

 

I am soo scared to drive holes in that new paint job.


I dont want to screw up

 

They make them every day.

 

I got the front two holes. Kind of

 

you need one of these

Cool

 

I drill the holes with a 1/8 drill bit, then sit the body on the post to check for alignment, (then you can adjust slightly when you make the full-size holes) then I use a cone shaped stone in my Dremel tool, boring from both, inside and outside of body, until desired size is achieved.

 

Dam seems like a dremel would come in handy.

 

I've had my wheels and tires soaking acetone for a few hours now in hopes of getting my old, worn out tires off. I can tell if I continue at this rate it will take forever. (2 at a time with the supplies I have)...

Anyone know of a quicker way to get tires off of wheels that DOESN'T involve an oven?

 

cutting them off?

 

^^^Greg, those are the first pics I've seen of t4's paint job that actually showed how awesome of a job he did! Looks very nice. Like that shade of blue. You need moar tire, though... Not much more...


I still like the silver truck better...

 

I still have to get the old glue off, though. I think I'll just let them soak over night.

 

take the glue off with a dremel if you have it

 

Get a bigger container and more acetone. 24 hours is minimum for acetone. it needs to dissolve the CA glue. This method takes the most amount of time but the least amount of effort.

If you absolutely need them off, boil them. Get a pot you dont care about any more, boil them for about 20-40 minutes and they will come off. But the CA will still be on the rims/tires. You will then need to clean that off with acetone...

 

It green actually

This is how it actually needs to sit.


I know I need more tire. Saving up for wraith axles And more 2.2s. I am making this into a Wroncho, slowly but surely.

(spent 300 dollars on my AR yesterday plus I got to pay Daddy which I am doing tomorrow).

 

That's the best/cleanest way.
