  1. Did you thread locked your pinion? Your symptom sounds very much like some of my builds where I did not tighten the grab screw down enough and the pinion just falls off within 10 minutes of the first run. Also, I ran various motors through far worse conditions and and they are still fine.
  2. Or just flip the motor wires. Only works on non directional brushed motors though.
  3. Spray paints on planes are not ok according to the rules but because they just look exactly like toiletries/body spray on x-ray, they usually get through. However, any kind of spray are not allowed in the mail.
  4. No, a Y splitter for the motor wires can work too. Depending on the motors used of course.
  5. Do it right the first time, take a few pictures for memory, then stop caring about them and trash the body.
  6. It is Oilite that does that and those are the metal bushings provided by Tamiya stock. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oilite
  7. 90% of my kits are built using this. Dry fit the parts, use the brush to brush on where they meet, the cement will get "sucked in" and after a minute or so, done. Occasionally on large parts, I will use this. On very large parts, this.
  8. I think that is what Tamiya had planned for all along. If you had build their static models with window masks, there are very sharp marking to show the location to stick the masks. But on RC bodies, it is more like "around there".
  9. Actually that matches exactly to the ballpark number of 1A per 3 - 4kg I had seen in another forum. My guess is old brushed technology? I had tested a few and they all consistently read the same amps so it is not due to a dodgy one.
  10. I tested the 9kg JX to suck 3A. I had also tested a 12kg SPT/Injora (I believe they are the same?) to only use 1.9A. So go figure!
  11. Still crap at 1.5A. Used it with a 9kg JX LP servo and this happens.
  12. The BEC of the 105 is p-weak, only at 1A. I got one in my Farm King kit and it got tossed out without even removing from the bag. The servo seems to be a 3.5kg servo, and may work, as generally, 1A can drive 3 - 4kg. On the other hand, I had good results pairing HV servos with a 101/4 ESC with no BEC, and feed the full fat battery directly to the RX and servo.
  13. Oh, that happened to me before when I test drove a TT-01 I was rebuilding without installing the bumper. New chassis time.
  14. That is a factory job not me! 🤣
  15. Of course. Black heat shrink on the motor wires and color one on the ESC wires.
