Arizona Peeps, One Hobbies and Team Terribles has offered to put a donation box in there store so items can be dropped there, but please post here also so I can keep track of what all I need to get to finish.


Also looking for more of parts, like if anyone that has the stock B4.1 chassis say from upgrading to a +8 we can start another build. Also looking for SC10 and Blitz parts for more builds, but lets get this one done for the Grand Opening - May 12/13.

If someone has multiple parts I can help with shipping by sending PP to help cover cost.

More info. about the program can be found here.

I literally couldnt go more than half throttle because the cars front ends handled like it was on ice. I had to go back to the inline axles. So, i just thought id give you all a headsup about that

I clean and lube then (as with all my bearings) very often. Has anyone had this same issue? Any suggestions how I can stop these bearings from wearing out so quickly?

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can change to get more control/stability on the straight with the inline axle setup?
