I use nail polish on screws that go into plastic, locite if metal to metal.

guys, I know this is an a$$ question, but I can't find the posts in regards to those dirt gaurds what so ever. I'm wanting to order them...

Can anyone throw me the website again?

Btw, if you have some "RC Tech" search tips, please, by all means throw them my way. The way I searched for this topic was

Search under RC8be Forum:

Keywords: Dirt + Mud + Gaurd

I found conversation and a few pics in this thread but didn't see the link to purchase them. I know it was posted.... bah...

Guard... not Gaurd LOL!!

Try the proper spelling of G"ua"rd. Or go to Amain and at the left side, type in RC8. They should be on the first page.

I'm lucky in this regard too. Just yesterday, Mary says to me, "Hey, how much do you need to finish up your little car there". And I said, "Well, with spare parts, charger, and some other stuff you won't care about.. eh, 800 bucks."

She said, "Ok go ahead and buy it. But I want a Coach purse".

Can't beat that! Haha... awesome.

Haha, smart guy. I friggin corrected myself right after I posted that :-) I didn't search "Gaurd"... just typed it wrong in the post.

Thanks Gregg!!!!!!!

You and Billy are my 2 favoriate up in this biaaatch! Thanks for all your help!

My wife hates my RC habit so I never bring anything in the house, the only drawback is my garage isn't environmentally controlled so the winter time gets a bit tough. It's amazing how much you can still do when you can't feel your fingers![/QUOTE]

You may as well be speaking for me here!! my wife tells me that RC consumes my life! I tell her shes crazy but in my mind im thinking "hell ya it does, RC is fuckin awesome!!"

My wife is kind of the same way. She out spends me on clothes at least 10:1. Most of my clothing comes from Old Navy and a few of the discount stores around here. Can't beat $12.99 for Polo Chaps long sleeve button down work shirts. Also get khakis from Old Navy on sale for $20 or so. I don't have to wear a suit very often, so I can get away with business casual 99% of the time. At the rate I'm going, though, I'll probably have to start at least wearing dress slacks and shirts a few times a week, though. I'll admit that my wife is pretty savvy when it comes to clothes shopping, though. I can't remember the last time she bought something at Banana Republic at regular price (BR is by far her favorite place). She does a lot of "bargain" shopping, although clothes on sale 40% off at BR are still pretty expensive, IMO.

I will say that I probably out spend her, though, so I'm glad she's forgiving about that. Between all the stuff I have going on, I can spend a few bucks here and there. My wife finally got to the point where she doesn't get sticker shock when it comes to the race car. That said, we do have a pretty good policy. Usually anything $100 to $150, we don't need "permission" from the other, but anything higher than that, we usually discuss beforehand.

Thanks, but I think there are a lot more helpful people that me here!

You should have your wives talk to mine...she'll tell them that they should be thankful you're racing RC and not racing a full scale car. It makes RC look downright dirt cheap! Not to mention that my son has expressed interested in Kart racing!

Hey Sarinexia, if you don't want to order a bunch of stuff from A Main in order to get free shipping, for just a bit more, you can order the DE stuff direct. It's not that much more, shipping is included, and they ship FAST.

I'll have to agree with Billy on this one. There are people that help on here a lot more than he an I. But of I know the answer, I will post it.

Haha, don't take me out of context fella's. I was just saying you 2 are my favorite because I see you 2 on here all the time back and forth over some good stuff.

I have zero doubt others are just as helpful. Everyone in this thread are excellent.

thats a good one..

seeking advice from those running the mmm esc. I'm running a 2200 motor w/ a 17t. Still a bit slow on the straights. I don't think I'll be financing a good 6s anytime soon so I would like some advice regarding the timing adjustment.

I haven't done any research on the matter so anything would be great. Thanks dudes!

forgot to ask one more question for today

bearings... I'm seeing names like "boca" and "avid."

any difference? any preference and why?

thanks!!
