1. I don't think so, I have some AE shock oil thats a lot older than that and it still seems ok to me.

2. You still need capacitors on motors. Many motors come with them integrated into the endbell these days, though. If not you need to install them. Reedy TI motors require add-on caps.

Thanks!

All the Reedy Ti3 motors have caps on them now.

Ok, thanks, good to know. The one I checked is a couple years old. He did say "old Reedy TI" though.

Riemon Axles and hubs are back in stock.

We are now carrying RW 64P gears in 88T and 92T. These sizes compliment the more common 96T, 98T and 100T gears that we have carried for years.

The 88 lets 19T racers run the gear they need for the torquey motors like the CP Money, Orion/Peak Element/Vantage, Reedy Quad 19 and Atlas motors without having to grind up your t-plates.

The 92 lets you split gear ratios and roll outs. If you run a 88 and a 96 you will find they generate the same gear ratios. A 92 lets you have access to ratios in between pinions changes on an 88 or 96.

I may be crazy but I have an axle built up and ready to go into the car with an 88 (in the car) and a 92 (in the pit box). If my tires wear and I cant get a roll out close enough that I fell good about it I can swap in the other axle and get exactly what I want no matter the tires size.

I want to try some ceramic diff balls. Does anyone know what the difference between the corally 1/8 balls and the IRS balls is, besides price? Is one better than the other? :confused:

For Komodo motors would it be bad to run an 88 since its more of an rpm motor. Just got an L4 and i'm not down with grinding the t-plate. But if using a 96 is really that much better...I'll get michaelangelo-esque with the dremel :D

Can I use the Hara conversion on an RC12L3, or do I need an L4???

I've been using the ceramic balls from RC4less for a couple of years and they work very well for a really low price. They work as well and seem to last just as long as the IRS ones. I've never used the Corally ones.

The theory is the bigger spurs are better but out doors in 19T we just cant fit the gears we need sometimes (37 or 38/96) with little tires. I am running a Komodo now and I haven't bothered to put a 96 back on and I am not hurting for speed at all :sneaky:

You can use either one. The only difference i can think of is that the Hara chassis is drilled for the larger L3 front body mounts.

I have it on my 12L3

Capel the car was designed to be a conversion for the 12l3. You can use a 12l4 if you'd like.

what is Hara conversion?
