    I put a hex on your ass... Get something that you can change out the tips on, 40 watts or more. Some jobs need a small fine "pencil" tip, some need some "mass" like a thick chisel tip, all depending on the task at hand. Glad you didn't burn your real girlfriend....

    not any spare parts yet.
    nobody has any in stock yet.

    mine has been sitting for almost 3 weeks now waiting for steering knuckle.
    frustrating as hell.


    oh, and watch the temps with the interior in place.

    ^^^^ At first I was like, "Man, I've gotta have an exo." Then I was like, "Man I'm glad I didn't get an exo. They look like a royal pain in the ass."

    those are carriers for the knuckles not knuckles.
    knuckles are part #AX80099

    there have been 2 auctions so far for actual knuckles.
    i am not going to pay $35 for a set of $3 parts.


    folks are prob parting out kits....no spare parts have made it to rc vendors yet

    Did you change seals/bushings/pistons? Are they the blue ones or the weird grayish hard-coated ones? AE shocks are a pain to build and get right, but do work and feel good when you do. Are your shafts worn?

    So noob question,

    What powers the Receiver and Servo in a nitro powered R/C?

    I noticed looking at the manual for the SC10 GT there is now batt tray on the chassis.



    Here comes the LOL.

    They're the blue ones like this.

    I only messed with the rears. The shaft on one was bent. It's the one that continues to leak. I guess that's really the problem. the o-rings and stuff won't stay put with that rod being bent.

    Those o-rings should not be able to move, if everything is snapped into place, even if your sporting a bent shaft, which is never a good thing. When your ready to replace the shafts, get the unobtainums.
