17mm wheel extensions **Update w/Pics March 13 '09**
Some of you may have seen me in the shoutbox today asking about the 17mm wheel extensions. I was looking at getting the XL extensions before I saw the aluminum one piece style (hex is part of the exension).
After looking at them and...
Thanks for all the compliments!
I'm a "machine tool builder and integrator" by trade. Finished the course about a year ago. We take the exact same classes in first year that a general machinist would. I also run a crappy CNC machine at work; it doesn't run on mastercam but it has its own...
Hey guys! Just got my break parts in (dual disc fiberglass) and I'm just waiting on my steering servo; I broke down and decided to go big so I got the Hitec HS-7955TG. Also ordered some shock socks for the hell of it.
So I'm here looking at the XSS wheels. I don't like 'em. Chrome doesn't...
I have to admit its not tooo difficult with the right tools, just very time consuming.
I might be able to help some people out, but I don't have the time to be machining 100's of parts if it gets popular :P
Maybe if its something useful that more than one person could use, I can make a few...
Yep, went back to work friday night and made one up. Its made of stainless steel.. so it might wear a bit faster, however its a closer fit to the pads, so I think that will help, also it'll never rust!
Man those gas engines sound awesome! Makes me want to start a new project too; but I need to finish my XSS and save money. It'd be cool to build a frankenstein gas MT out of already existing parts & custom made parts.. 8x Bigbores? rockout

I don't know what you, or others from...

Thanks for the heads up about the break hub!
Thanks for the links, I'll have to consider one of those :)
I remember with my old savage though, with the 645 (or any servo), I would turn all the way to the left or right and then try to move the tires back by hand (while still full-on turn with the radio) and it took almost no force to...
Wow! Didn't expect so many responses so quickly! Thanks for the warm welcome!
Yes! I definately need a hump pack, I had one on my old truck, thanks for the reminder! I also used the Hitec 645mg on my old truck, I was thinking about trying my luck on one of those cheap ebay servos that claim...
Hello everyone!
This is my first post, but I've been reading these forums for a while now. I think I read them a while back too when I had my .25 RTR. Awesome community here with TONS of info!
Anyways, I just recently sold my .25 RTR to a friend of mine and I'll be picking up my new kit...
