So i got some stuff in the mail today and got started rebuilding!! My Bearings from Avid bearings...great company...got the revolution sheilded...also got my front tires...haha 16 dollar tires for 2.50 on ebay.... Also got this from my wife as a gift....I just need to find a technigold motor for it
Hey...
I am reusing all the old hardware, it's in great shape...and the body will be for show, i am ordering a new one...don't want to ruin the original one
Here is my "Clean" pile...everything has been scrubbed, rebuilt, relubed, and rust removed where needed...i would have it back together if my bearings were here...I still have to buff all the hinge pins to make them nice and smooth
Haha...thanks guys....I rebuilt the diffs today....they were so smooth, i thought they were ball diffs...the grease inside was like paste...so i soaked everything in simple green and scrubbed...relubed them with Mobil one synthetic grease...
Old nasty grease
New Happy Grease
So I just picked up this Optima Mid tonight......Every year there is a National Vintage RC car race...so I bought this to compete and have some fun...I will be going brushless and I heard The wheels from the Lazer zx-5 fit, so it will be getting some modern rubber also...so here goes The car was pretty clean and I was very happy when i picked it up
