    HPI Mini Recon

    I picked up a Mini Recon for my son's bday and I have to say I'm quite impressed with overall value of the truck. Comes with a very nice (by RTR standards) 2.4 radio with AA's, 7.2V pack for the truck, and a few tools and spares. The truck has LOTS of torque and does over 20mph. Spins all...

    Finally got one!

    So I picked up a bone stock 5T (white body) with less than a gallon of fuel through it for an unbelievable deal. All this waiting was well worth ther deal i got! I got it with a 'broken clutch'. I've been doing my research for a while now and learned that the stock setup is notorious for...

    CB shims?

    Hey guys, I need to shim my CB to get some play out of it, what size shims do you guys use? I've been having problems with the bearings failing and this time I used a glow plug washer between the bearing and that black collar spacer and it seemed perfect with just a hair of play so I knew it...

    Anybody know the size or part number? Links? Mine is wandering all over from the engine vibration. If nothing else I'll just take it to the hardware store in the morning and see if I cant find one that'll work.

    2006 gsx-r 750

    Finally got sime pics of my bike on the pc. Been doing quite a bit to it since I got it a couple months ago, figured I'd throw up some pics here. I've done a lot of small cosmetic changes that you probably wouldn't notice as being different from a stock one unless your a gixxer guy but it's...

    '69 Charger!

    Here is my new lid. HPI '69 charger. I was inspired by Ascender's stars and stripes body, but wanted to do something different. I thought about adding stars into the blue but decided against it. I free-handed the flames onto the overspray film with a dry erase marker which work very well for...

    Help me choose! Badlands, Bow Ties, or Dirt Bones? What wheels?

    Ok so I'm thinking about getting a new set of wheels and tires.I have several questions so bear with me here. I want something that offers more performance! Lighter/more traction than the Tremor/Goliath combo, and handles better than the Terra-pins I have. I was thinking about the ProLine...

    JConcepts BAJR

    I thought this lid was kinda cool when it came out and there was a discussion in the shout a few days ago about whether it would fit on a savage, so I decided to bring one home and see if it fit. It fits the XL pretty good I think, and it fits really well on the standard length savage. I...

    LRP Z.28 Spec 3, OWB issue.

    I'm breaking this motor in and when I went to start the fourth tank of fuel the OWB locked up. I thought the PS broke but that wasn't it. I used a pair of vice grips to hold the OWB housing and used some pliers to turn the nut on the starter shaft. It was wedged in there pretty tight but once...

    TVP Clearance issue with LRP .28 and 16/52 gearing

    Cant's quite get the gear mesh right on this. Has anybody got this combo to work on an XL with stock gearing? Should I dremel a little or just change gearing? If I change gearing I'm gonna have to order it because my LHS has none in stock. Any tips?

    Threebond 1211 vs. 1194?

    Hey guys I'm wondering if someone can tell me the pros and cons between these two products? I got the 1194. The guy at the Suzuki dealer told me they just changed the number but after getting it home, I looked them up and they are actually two different products. Hard to find good solid...

    Question about Picco .28 versions

    OK, I'm looking at new mills and it seems that all the sites selling the Picco .28 (part # 51232) show the old version in their pics with the older heat sink head. I've seen many guys here running them with the turbo style head that is concave on top and anodized in blue. How do I know what...

    k5.9 bearing question

    OK guys this is the first time I have completely taken the mill apart. I'm looking at the rear bearing and the balls are exposed and they move around inside the race. Is that normal or is the bearing shot? It still seems to spin smoothly. The front bearing seems like it's in good shape...

    Tips for sealing the carb neck?

    OK guys, I'm having a strange issue that I can't seem figure out. I lost my carb pinch bolt a few weeks ago and I damaged the o-rings taking the carb out. So I put new o-rings on the neck and put everything back together. After running it a few times I noticed there was fuel getting all over...

    These aren't the best pics in the world because my regular camera broke, but I wanted start a thread. I gotta get those time stamps off there. It's not quite finished either, I have a few small details I want to add but for the most part it's done. I'm going to add a charcoal grey autobot...
