Very nice indeed!

Thank you so much!  Once a Decade I get a really good idea... This was my one!! 😜 

If anyone has access to Medical Syringes, I HIGHLY recommend this. It's neater and just better than any Hobby designed item for gluing Tyres!! 👍👍

Coming along nicely.

Now the weather is getting very wet I think a set of new tires on my TT02 is in order and I might do a few lap in round five.

Absolutely Go for it!! The more I run mine, the more I wonder why so many People discount these as "entry level disposable" Cars. 

With the right tweaks, these can be competitive! Not TRF level of course, but hard to beat for the price.

THIS!!! 😊 

Good 'Ol Permatex Anti Seize Lubricant!!  WHY?  Because it has the SAME ingredients as Tamiya AW Grease, same ability to STAY exactly where you put it, Plastic SAFE.... 

And it's slightly thinner than AW Grease, and works in Gearboxes without unnecessary Drag!  AND - it costs a FRACTION of what AW Grease costs - for a lot more product. 👍👍😎 

..... I'm about to see how it works as a thick Diff Lube. 

EDIT: Almost filling the Diff with AS Lube, acts VERY similar to 15K-20K Diff Oil!! 😊  SO impressed.

Hi @Carmine A

Great idea using the Permatex Anti-Seize in the differential. 

How are the gears holds up ? 

Thank you ! Cheers

Flawless! Completely Plastic safe. AW Grease is thicker, but this is thicker than ANY Grease on the Market. Plus it won't separate or dribble out through the seams!! 

After nearly a Year and a half! 👍👍
