As Phineas says: "Yes, yes I am." Hence the TC_Moderators under my avatar. Unfortunately, I only have basic access to mod this forum. Any technical issues with the main site or behind the scenes forum problems have to go through Chris or Adam. Let me see if I can grab their attention somehow.

That is impressive. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. There must be thread lock involved because over tightening surely would have cracked the gearbox.

Hey! Free pickup in Rancho Cucamonga!

Send a PM to Adam (acprc).

I think I've restricted him from posting. He seems to have a reputation on other forums across the internet.

Sometimes I go by Ricky Jr. 🤪

I swear, I always see these in the bargain bins at random hobby shops. That's how I found the one on my Blackfoot Xtreme. That's what you're looking for, right?

Hey guys, I've sent an email to Adam about the notifications issue. I'm not sure about the membership problems as I don't have any access to that side of the site. Personally, I have no idea what's going on with either of them as they both seem to have other pressing priorities. I hope they are both ok.

It's been an issue.

The transmission has been reassembled and properly lubed. I added rubber sealed bearings for the diff. Also, I had some hardened outdrives rolling around in one of my parts bins. I'm throwing those on. I was doing some quick measuring with the shocks. I found the original bouncy shocks to compare with the lengthened stock Tamiya CC02 shocks. The CC02 shocks will be a little more upright when installed but I think things should work nicely.

Here's the transmission gears. Other than the familiar pinion/diff gear residue, it looks almost brand new.

I managed to have some time to myself yesterday so I disassembled everything and gave all the plastic chassis parts a bath. I started assembling the suspension arms before I remembered to take a picture. I think everything cleaned up nicely and after inspection, nothing is broken or cracked. There's a grey CC02 shock in there which I will use later.

Years ago at my old house, I had this wild yard. Just a mess of dirt, weeds and other nonsense. I bought this Blackfoot Xtreme just to be able to run something around my house without having to do any prep or go to a track. Then my girls got a hold of it and drove it around until I had the backyard done properly. This truck is well used but not worn out. It has sat in the garage since we moved to the new house 4 years ago. I saw it looking at me all sad when I pulled into the garage a few weeks ago. I decided that it needs a wash and a rebuild. I made a few modifications during the original build: bearings, carbon fiber shock towers, a weird purple motor heatsink and some longer random Traxxas shocks. I'm just going to clean everything up and delete the Traxxas shocks. I'm going to see if I can use the stock shocks that came with my CC02 with a little extra length. Lets see how it goes.

I think this website pops up in my Instagram feed as a Horizon clearance sale or going out of business ad. Please be careful out there!

Like I said, the site is not giving me notifications. I think it's being looked into. I think we can beat this record if we believe in ourselves.
