Man you get this many of these running on a 10x20 ft. track with 45 minruntimes and it's just as good if not better than any form of r/c racing I have ever done!

I have not seen any r/c car with speeds like this! Not electric, not nitro!
#66
yea those. They look a lot faster than R/C cars cuz they move in such small tracks and dont need to slow down for turns!

If you are continually losing those screws, you might consider aluminum knuckles, if you don't already have them.

With the plastic knuckles I was losing screws like crazy. So I bought the aluminum knuckles and c hubs added locktite, and haven't lost one since.

helibrian..

yes.. i was in the process of changing to aluminium knuckles when i realised the parts mentioned is gone. Worst, i also lost one of the knuckle bearing.. dont know where did the bearing rolled to.. have to use the stock at this moment.
anyhow, is it good idea to buy alu c hub? coz im still using stock.

IMO I wouldnt buy the GPM C hub or knuckle that was linked to. I have had both and both have failed me. The threads in the GPM knuckles stripped right out and I would keep losing the king pins and the GPM C hub doesnt hold the kingpin very well at all. I would go with the 3 Racing knuckle and C hub, the C hubs hold the king pin much nicer and knuckles are much nice. You can also find them at www.thetoyz.com or http://www.hkshobby.com/ I beleive the Atomic set that you can find under the MI listings on HKS for $25 is a good deal as well. Good luck.

I also have had bad luck with some of the GPM parts.The alloy seems to be very soft and like mentioned is easy to strip.
