Can anyone tell me where to find crimpers and terminals for servo plugs?
Will Molex crimpers work?
I want to make my servo, esc, and transponder leads shorter. :)

Also, www.nexusracing.com has the terminals

HEY--did you install a T-bar conversion on your 12L5? If so (especially if you did so from new) I'd REALLY like to talk to you about buying your standard (link) chassis plate.

PM me with whatcha got!!

Thanks,

Scottrik

MUGENS
 
The best thing about these cars are,they r 22 years old!
U should see the look on other racers faces when u kick butt with them!
especially when they r using the latest chassis.
i think they r MUGENS first ever rc cars!
If any of u guys were racing 1/12 20 years ago u may remember these rockets
They have a double deck chassis and a gear diff
The amount of traction they produce on a low traction track is incredible
Even full throttle from a standstill on a dusty road with a 10x2 ,the car
always goes DEAD STRAIGHT I have never seen another 1/12 do this!

Anyway... pm me if anyone is interested

It is almost identical to the Hot Bodies shock except: The shock body is a tiny bit shorter. The shock shaft is about 5mm shorter. It has studs on both ends for ball cups.

Does anyone know if the shock shaft on the new Silva HPS2 is the same diameter as the Hot Bodies shock? I just measured a Hot Bodies shaft and it has a diameter of 1.95mm. I had some issues when breaking the threaded end of the shock end cap on the Hot Bodies. It would be great to replace these end caps w/ the very inexpensive Silva model.

I have a tekin 17.5 brushless motor. I was wondering does ceramic bearing make the motor more free or does it matter. My motor is fine, but I have heard ceramics would make it even more free. Does anyone really know the answer.

The shafts are the same size. FWIW the shocks are so similar that they look like they are made by the same manufacturer, so the shock end may not be any better :cool:

The good old Associated end fits right on with two minutes of work with a 5/64 drill bit... If you want to get fancy, the IRS ends come in black anodized to match the original HB part. If you want the ultimate badass HB shock, the IRS nickel/teflon end is a perfect match to the HB shock body anodizing... The IRS ends are only $4.50 and I've never managed to break an IRS end (or an Associated end for that matter)

Again, you'll need to drill the hole with a 5/64, but it's a pretty easy job.

It works! Or drive an associated and run the factory shock! j/k
