Maybe so maybe not. Ive had my Sanwa MX-V for many years and it hardly gets used bc its impossible to find new Rx units for it. I went for s cheap FlySky to replace it as my daily Tx. It qas cheap and so I won’t care when it goes obsolete.

The BF uses 2.2 tires so there are lots of options.

I used a Posca ultra fine marker. Worked pretty well. Its an acrylic so it was easy to clean up if I made a mistake. Terry

Use a M3 screw to form the threads in the part.

Your results made me rethink how I do my own cleaning, but Ive never had my bearings pit like yours. Even after a weekend at the beach, mine still came out shiny. Weird.

Cheap chinese materials??? Bearings are cheap these days, just order more, and chalk it up to experience???

I have a single I can send your way. That way you only need a pair, which is easier to find than three??? PM me your mailing address. Terry

With the upcoming release of the CC02 Ford Baja Bronco, I did s little research. Found this interesting tidbits. https://performance.ford.com/enthusiasts/newsroom/2021/05/stroppe-s-baja-bronco.html

Go outside and smash a TT02 on the ground a few times. That’ll relieve some stress…. 😛😛😛

I have an old screw driver that happens to go through the center hole of 1150 bearings nicely. I usually stick the bearings on there, hit them with wd40, and spin with my finger (or pull along my table). I keep doing this until they feel smoother. Then I wash them with hot water and Dawn and after drying apply 3in1oil. Bearings have gotten cheap enough that I get them in bulk and replace them as necessary. Which reminds me…

New roll bar on the CC02. Likely a vintage Pro-Track for BF. I bought this used on ebayz and hit it with some 3000 grit and metal polish. After an hour or so I got most of the road rash out. I think it came out nice.

I have cleaned dirty screws and metal bits in a mason jar with rubbing alcohol and table salt. Put it all in and shake it up for a couple of minutes. The alcohol cuts most greases and the salt acts as a mild abrasive. No plastic, the alcohol will make it brittle. Terry

My battery pack for my audio recorder fried 5 minutes before Sonic Youth hit the stage. I was so *******ed I almost walked out. I’m glad I didn’t, it was a great show…

Maybe someone can do up a list for the Super Mini shocks? I’ve never messed with them since I’m a buggy/truck guy.
