Blu Tack is a versatile, reusable putty-like pressure-sensitive adhesive. Common uses are to:
* Hold up posters
* Hold telephones, mouse mats and other small items in place
* Hold screws to screw drivers, model parts in position for painting or gluing
* Keep picture frames level
* Clean fluff from fabric and dirt hard to get at places, such as computer keyboards
* Lock differentials in Tamiya mini's and still allow slip
The original version was blue, but myriad colours are now available. It is based on a formulation consisting of synthetic rubber, polymers, oil, and inorganic fillers.

No, about 80% but it works its way out and then you have to repack it.

How come nearly everyone now seems obsessed with locking their diffs in some way? (Not picking on you specifically here Glenn, its a big trend everywhere)
Why not just leave the things as they are and run like that....level playing field all round.

Just got my Team Orion Carbon Lipo 3200 pack! Will run it in my mini very soon. Thanks tony/rc-mini for the setup info. Looking forward to that extra jump/speed/runtime! just wondering if you could show a picture of how you wired it up. Looks like all your wiring is in the chassis and the pics on rc-mini don't really show much detail. Do you also run a balancer between your charger and pack? How many amps are you charging with? Thanks!!
Checkout taipei's 1st indoor rc track. It's short and winding; just perfect for the mini!
