easy out is another option. i have a set of them. at least your screw is turning alth stripped out. the planetary case (holds the ring gear as a lid over the inside gears) in my son's rear diff had 2 stripped screws from the factory. they will be getting easy outted tonight. good thing i ordered that extra diff off ebay lol.

Don't get the portable battery one get one that plugs into the wall, more power and I would stock with the dremal brand cause theres alot of options and attachments for it

 

[Stygian]

RCDad do you think this one is worth the extra money

They are nice and have a stronger motor.

I use the HF unites with no complaints.

 

[Stygian]

Yeah I was just reading about them both, for the extra $30 I don't think it's worth imho. what's nice is HF and Lowes is 1block from my house so it's nice not to have to drive hella far plus HF said they have a bunch in stock also any luck on the new quote (don't want to sound pushy lol) looking to order em asap is all

I'd like to see those wheels and tires bolted up cause I'm thinking of getting the same ones but maybe the rear out back instead of fronts all around

 

[Dreggsta]

Bow ties are nice. Rcdad has some pics of his ride w/bow ties I believe. C'mon Brian, bust out the pics that make us drool lol. I was wanting to see them too haha.

That's an impressive list stygian. Def agree w/the aluminum hubs & diff housing. Those are parts that you don't want to flex.

 

[Stygian]

Yeah the biw ties are sweet I bought those awhile ago and already out them on

***drooling all over my phone*** man those should be in a calendar lol. What kind of wheels are those & what'd you have to do to get those to fit? I love that green body. That's a grafil? Many kudos rcdad. That all aluminum look really slams it out of the park.

Thx....

Yep, Grafil body. Those wheels are a set of aluminum 5b fronts, so they mount up with adapters.

Yes.

I use the RAMTechs on the buggies.

On my others that run bodies with fenders, I use the narrower 7075RC adapters.
