    Modified button head question..

    It should be OK, as the compression seal is formed between the sleeve, head shims, and head button. As long as you didn't damage that area with the grinder, you should be good to go.

    frddyj's brushless build

    Sealing the edges helps prevent delamination and stress cracking, which carbon fiber is somewhat prone to. It's a good idea not just for aesthetic reasons.

    What tank mod is for me?

    I run a 125cc Ofna tank in the stock location, and it works fine for bashing. You get used to re-fueling more often, most of the time when I pull the truck in to re-fuel the tank is still 1/4 full or so. It is also the only setup that positions the tank out of the reach of the upper shock bolts...

    Most of the Savage plastics are Nylon, not Delrin.

    Tvp

    Low tensile strength and much more elastic than aluminum alloys/CF, not the material you want your TVPs to be made from. My 1st material choice would be a good, artificially aged aluminum alloy such as 6061-T6. Fairly lightweight, strong, and impact resistant. Quasi-isotropic CF would be my 2nd...

    Can somebody explain the concept of pinch test.

    This is correct.

    Here she is... with a drum cage!

    Can't say I am a fan of heavy, COG raising steel cages, but the truck looks pretty good otherwise.

    Performance tuning, let the engine tell you.

    I'm guilty of this, but it isn't something I'm proud of.

    Great RC Scale

    You need a calibration weight, and the process is very straightforward. They come pre-calibrated from the factory though, and they rarely need re-calibration.

    My buddy's crazy rubberband gun.

    It appears to have a decent sized pilot valve, so the main valve should actuate fast, and the report should sound like a pretty loud crack. I've built a few pneumatic cannons myself, but nothing of that size.

    I was on SC for 4 years before I registered here. I still browse the forums from time to time, but I can't reveal my current username.

    Great RC Scale

    You overpaid. I have the same scale, but with 0.01g precision and the same maximum capacity. I paid $30 on eBay. They are useful, but I don't really use mine for R/C, only pyrotechnics.

    My buddy's crazy rubberband gun.

    That looks like a commercial 2" diaphragm valve, those things are not cheap. Pretty basic but nice pneumatic cannon.

    Fx's Twisted Toyz Mid-Tank

    Very nice, I always like seeing a mid-tank setup built using custom parts rather than a commercial kit.

    Steering servo arm "mod"

    This is a good modification to make, I also use a Hitec aluminum arm on my steering servo. The plastic arm can strip when the wheels are violently torqued to one side by an impact to the front end.

    Easy-Off De-Anodizing

    They may have reduced the molarity of the NaOH solution, but it should still remove the anodizing. It will just take longer.

    Flex tech

    Yeah, they were made from a tougher plastic. I broke a couple original arms, and they just split at the inner hinge pin hole. The new X style arms that I ran actually showed signs of brittle failure, which is something I've never seen before with HPI Nylon. I e-mailed Flextech last year about...

    engine mount

    Why not? If you're talking about a cheap injection molded Kingstar/Force/SH crankcase, it is only slightly stronger than the stock engine mount. If you use a stronger engine mount, you turn the engine into the weak point. What would you rather break, a $5 engine mount, or your engine's crankcase?
