Anaerobic Gel Thread Lock Item #54032 Tamiya is now releasing a new easily applied screw lock gel for helping in the prevention of looseness in metal parts in R/C vehicles. It can also be applied on chassis' as well engines. Liquid Thread Lock - X7329 Item #87004 This is Thread Locking Compound from Tamiya. Must be used on metal or steel items, not plastic. Do Not use this on plastic, as it will melt the plastic! Color is blue. Apply thread lock to the threads before installing. Prevents the screws from working loose,which will happen if it is not used. It is very effective and easy to use. Screws can be loosened or removed for maintenance by using about twice the force required when they were originally tightened. I noticed that there are at least 5 different greases: AW grease Cera-grease HG Molybdenum VG Cup and joint Ceramic grease What specific Tamiya applications would these different greases be used on? Molybdenum Grease Item #87022 Lithium is the base material in the grease, moly is an additive in the grease. Molybdenum disulfide is a dark gray powder that is very hard and very slippery. Moly is excellent for slow moving, heavily loaded points. This grease is suitable for gears and moving parts in mechanical operations. It maintains its viscosity over a wide temperature range, reduces friction, and has molybdenum properties that cover the entire surface well. Use moly-additized grease on the sliding spline on the driveshaft. Moly can contain abrasive particles that can damage needle, ball, or roller bearings. Ceramic Grease Item #87025(DISCONTINUED) This grease is formulated using Boron Nitride particles, and is ideal for use on electric powered R/C vehicles. It should be applied to all bearings, shafts, and gears. It maintains it's viscosity throughout a wide temperature range. Cera Grease HG Item #87099 This Cera-grease HG is made using Boron Nitride which gives it superior lubrication ability. Cera-grease can be used with MINI 4WD cars, R/C Cars, Robocraft gears and bearings, and provide excellent lubrication for plastic and metal parts. RC Anti-Wear Grease Item #53439 The potential of this grease has been race proven as one of the valuable components of the TRF414 chassis, greatly reducing friction between moving parts. High viscosity grease ideal for use on differential gears. RC VG Joint/Cup Grease Item #42128 This new Joint & Cup grease is best suited to fast moving parts. It assists in preventing wear and tear on parts. Other types of grease which have been used in the past tend to dry up and cause stiffening. With the new grease, there are no drying up and stiffening effects making this the grease to have for fast moving parts. The grease is a blue color.

Very nice homemade track. -
I know the prolbem to the hobby store I went too in Upland California called Pegasus Hobbies usto have tons of Tamiya stuff now, there stores shelves are empty. and have HPI and other brands. The only brand I trusted is TAmiya they make the best looking and models on the planet. I got my SRB because of the re realease.

Yea, same here can turn to sharply. Or it will flip.
-
I changed the gearing now it goes faster. But I didnt break in the stock motor. any suggestions. The battery are new I made a new hump pack. Is this motor worth getting RS540 Sport Tuned.
-
Hyundai today gone tomorrow. never buy a Hyundai on a Sunday, ill break down the following Monday. LOL

I wish Tamiya would make a better roll cage to protect drive. I flipped my rought rider after a beautiful paint job and almost tore off the roof.

Im running a futaba esc MC330CR.
-
What a good brush motor to replace stock 540S motor. Man that motor runs slow. LOL. Im running a esc that can handle down to 13 turns and running with nickle metal batteries.
-
Thank you so much. Yea, I made my first pack. So time to go bashing.
-
very nice video .
-
Does anyone know the solidering sequence for a hump pack. I have a pack i can take apart to make a hump pack.
-
I use one of these works awesome. and its portable.
-
Does anyone know where to get fake motor assembly for sand scorcher SRB. Makes it look like a real motor in the rear. Thanks I found the link.
-
it was made from a model company in arizona. I just cant find the link.
-
lol
-
Im looking for the link but cant find it.
-
Yes, you could I saw it online but the engine kit cost around $250.00 US dollars. For that price I can buy another SRB.
-
Im just going to get Futaba MC330CR. So I can just plug straight to my reciever. Buying a Novak BEC is starting to get to expensive.
-
TEU-104BK but Im using a older Futaba system that doesnt have BEC will it still work. Can anyone send me a picture of Tamiya battery connector of that esc.
-
Nope my kit didnt come with one. Got kit that had t shirt.
-
Is this ESC worth getting. Im running stock Rough Rider 2009. What do you guys think.

Thank you so much for info.
