  1. Bruiser trivia: the big hub bearings are the same size as skateboard wheel bearings. (I have Bones Reds in my Bruiser)
  2. Painted a Proline Cliffhanger with mostly spare rattle cans from the parts bin..
  3. There's only 2 things I have seen work without damaging the polycarbonate - 1) Tamiya Polycarbonate Body cleaner + patience + lots of elbow grease 2) 30% nitro fuel + patience + moderate elbow grease Do not use lacquer thinner or methylene chloride based paint stripper. D-Limonene (active ingredient in Goo Gone) may work; I have not seen anyone test thus far.
  4. What came of this? Did any of y’all win some bids? I was hoping too see the completed listings, but navigating their website is just as messy as their shipping methods.
  5. Just got confirmation that my order from 26NOV21 shipped today. Yours should be in the post soon, Raman36, if you ordered 20DEC21.....if not, your welcomed to come by and sniff the tires in my kit anytime!
  6. Crawler Canyon Presents: Daphne Redux, aka Painting a Patina - YouTube Can Patina Paint be this easy? - Rusty RC Body - YouTube
  7. Not necessarily difficult, but these were the most time-consuming
  8. I finished the chassis - programmed the ESC, set EPAs and soldered the battery connector. Will likely trim and paint the Cliffhanger body over the weekend. Vanquish VS4-10 chassis Axial AR45 standard axles Element transmission (12% overdrive) Castle Copperhead, 2240kv motor Axial 90mm dampers Savox SW-1210SG-BE Proline Hyrax Predator tires
  9. I use exclusively NiMH. I prefer the weighty packs for crawlers, and most of my Tamiya cars are sprung for NiMH as well. If battery bars were still available, I’d definitely make my own packs.
  10. There’s a Paramount conversion on eBay right now. The other bolt-on option is offered by Ampro on Shapeways.
  11. A Vanquish VS4-10 chassis, Element Stealth overdrive gearbox, SCX10 III straight axles and Castle Copperhead ESC. Horizon’s current sales are making my knees weak…
  12. Corrections about export info toward the end of the video
  13. Since you have TT-02’s, you likely have spare parts. That will help keep the boy’s car in running condition. I suggest a NiMH battery and 30-ish turn motor for him.
  14. The upper shock shaft in the photo looks a little scarred up from the pliers. Might be glare. If it is scratched, do you have some super fine sandpaper to take the burrs off? If not it will damage the seals and leak.
  15. What measurement do you need? I have a set on a Legends car I can measure for you.

  17. Use Tamiya grease. Granted, there are a lot of effective lubes on the market each with it's own unique attribute. But it is always suggested to use the manufacturer's recommended lube, in part due to some ingredients causing the plastic materials to degrade. Several members here have experienced damaged components from using different lubes, thread-locks and adhesives. Graphite, as mentioned above is inert if used in a dry form (no carriers or propellants) and will not damage plastics.
  18. There's a 5-cell file for printing: "tamiya battery box" 3D Models to Print - yeggi - page 11
  19. Josh gives a good summary at 9:21 into the video
  20. Are there any overdrive gears or other mods to improve steering radius for the CFX chassis?
  21. I don't believe the Hilux and Bruiser parts would be easily interchangeable. The Bruiser uses a dedicated molded box for the servos that integrates the servo mount with the box' thus requiring a full conversion to the Bruiser components. The Bruiser also has stamped steel chassis rails whereas the Hilux has solid aluminum chassis rails and different cross braces. I am by no means saying it can't be done, it just wouldn't be a direct bolt-on and could trigger additional changes to the chassis to make everything mate up. Is your purpose to restore the vehicle, or to have a runner? Regarding the part for sale, another member may be willing to assist in getting it mailed to you.
  22. If you don’t mind posting, I’d like to hear about any changes to the vehicles handling after swapping to the diff.
