What is the most ridiculous Tamiya kit?
Jeepy2013 replied to Siclick33's topic in General discussions
I've never seen the bear driving a tractor kit....lol. Here's another weird one, but I'm guessing it's more for educational..... -
Sounds like a low voltage problem honestly, maybe the Nimh has a bad cell? I have the same transmitter that we use on some cars that don't get used to often, I don't recall seeing a complete system reset, but there is a model reset that clears each individual model, it's on page 16 of the manual....here; T3PV Manual

The originals hardly ever popped off, if ever. My original Hornet from 1985 still has some original ball cups on it. I've found that the re-re GH / GH2 / Hornet ones are either slightly oversized or the brass ball studs are slightly undersized so they pop off practically just by looking at them. You can fit a small rubber band (like for braces) over them to help keep them on if need be.

Excellent!

Try DOT3 brake fluid or oven cleaner, Any "real" paint stripper will damage the plastic. There is probably some plastic safe, hobby stuff out there...ive tried a few "safe" products and they didn't remove the paint. I've used the DOT3 method a few times to remove multiple paint layers from plastic bodies like the Clodbuster, Bllackfoot, etc.

Optima in my Opinion, I've never been a fan of the Javelin for some reason.

I've only broken one Tamiya KT track as well, and that was in snow. They do break I'm sure, but would rather have a track break than to damage a gearbox which is impossible to find these days.

And......another project...

Advice on best size shocks for clodbuster!
Jeepy2013 replied to Paulie73's topic in General discussions
I run 110mm on one of my Clods without a lift kit and that's a pretty good size. Stock is right about 105mm. Keep in mind that with stock ladder bars, the higher you lift the truck, the wheels get closer to each other the the angles get weird. -
A couple of new projects....

I had a Hot Shot in the late 80's, that being said, I just picked up the Hot Shot 2 Blockhead Motors, mainly because I wanted another HS and I like the Blockhead colors / decals and the price. Can't go wrong with either, or even the original HS (re-release). Going to come down to which version you like the look of and your budget really.
