...the beast is still costing me! Arrived in the post today, Proline 23mm Hex adaptors and a 17t clutchbell. Now need to get me some 23mm wheels.... Thinking about giving her a nice change over winter. Maybe change the springs, lower her a little, new shell, something white and racey, probably a Crowd Pleazer to go with the white dishes i'm planning on...

I allways love getting new bits for the little monsters :) I reckon it'd look a little funny if you put buggy wheels on it :) fast but! I'm still getting the E-Maxx sorted, springs are still on the way and when they are fitted, done. Savage is sorted as far as thats concerned. I really want to find some sort of body for the maxx that isn't a typical maxx/revo/savage style pickup. I love the Jeep body on the Savage but I cant seem to find something like that for the Maxx...

I have some stuff on the way for mine as well. Wheel bearings and axleshafts for starters (blew 2 rears last weekend) as they finally went after 6 gallons of pure torture. Also ordered me a silver Integy center skid plate and an HPI polished pipe (4.6 version). I really wanted the THS8025 pipe but for the cost of the THS pipe, I was able to get my wheel bearings and axleshafts, center skid, TVP's, one-way, HPI tuned pipe AND a nifty set of OFNA hex-drivers (the purdy anodized ones!).

(I love chrome wheels :) I've allways wanted to get a set of dish wheels, and then draw something cool (like some picture or cartoon or something) on the dishes, or paint a colour gradient so when they spin, they look all spirally.

Think i'll pop to the LHS tmrw, and if they have any in, that makes the choice for me ;) Otherwise, i'll just go onto MTR's website and order me a set of white Wabashes i think.

Sounds good :) The LHS here is crap, they never keep anything like that in stock as they are worried they wont sell it. Then they wonder why everybody buys stuff online! I'm still keen to get the Revo wheels I've got working on the E-maxx. I think I can get away with the offset if I use the wider arms, just have to wait till an upper and a lower arrives so I can test fit it all up!

Most of the allen nuts in the savage are done up with allen keys turned by a nicely sized pair of pliers :) (yes I have twisted many allen keys this way, LOL :) Cheers Dre >> > ...the beast is still costing me!

Not cheap no, but i have one that i have strongly abused for the past couple of years and its just proving to be invincible. SignatureDan > >> > ...the beast is still costing me! Arrived in the post today, Proline > > 23mm [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > have strongly abused for the past couple of years and its just proving to be > invincible. Noted, I'll check em out :) I know how crap tools can ruin your day (and your hands), busted tool and bleeding hands (and of course now you need to find another tool). I work with 1:1 cars all the time and I dont use shitty knock offs when it comes to sockets etc. I've hurt my hands too many times when they let go (right when I have maximum torque on the bolt!!) Cheers Dre >> >> > ...the beast is still costing me! Arrived in the post today, >> >> > Proline [quoted text clipped - 52 lines] > > Cheers Dre They're probably half the price they are here over there :) I have to find a 23mm socket now to go with the 23mm hexes.... Proving more difficult than i imagined! SignatureDan > >> >> > ...the beast is still costing me! Arrived in the post today, > >> >> > Proline [quoted text clipped - 56 lines] > a 23mm socket now to go with the 23mm hexes.... Proving more difficult than > i imagined! Nah easy, look for any glow plug wrench for an 1/8th scale buggy on ebay or somewhere, they all have 23mm sockets on them (along with the glow drive socket). Ofna and Hoboa make em and sell em for diddly! Cheers Dre >> > ...the beast is still costing me! Arrived in the post today, Proline > 23mm [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > Cheers Dre Hmmm, you're posting at the same time as me, it must be late! Do you two use MSN? M'always up for a little RC related banter - or just general shootin the breeze... If you wanna add me go to http://www.maxbashing.com/forum/index.php?s=8e2bdee9279ec68d96ab80501841a303&act =ST&f=3&t=22344&st=15 and look for the post by DanTXD :-) You can find my MSN details on the bottom of every post i've made. I somehow think just posting them to Usenet may not be the best of ideas ;-) SignatureDan >>> > ...the beast is still costing me! Arrived in the post today, Proline >> 23mm [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > bottom of every post i've made.

I use Trillian which is sometimes a bit wonky with contacts, so we'll see if it worked. If you get a request from a UID that starts with gmc that's me. Doc >>>> > ...the beast is still costing me!

Yup, picked up your message this morning - I was asleep by then, sorry dude :-) SignatureDan >> Added you to my buddy list on MSN.

You're about 5-6 hours ahead of me I believe. I'm in EST zone. Doc > >> > ...the beast is still costing me! Arrived in the post today, Proline > > 23mm [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > use MSN?

Annnnd got myself some red springs today - much softer than the nasty stock purple/black ones - which are far too hard IME. This should improve the handling a little! SignatureDan |
