I really like those old-style Ford pick up bodies. I'm glad you have 'before' pics of them.

Anyone try out Gorilla string? Stuff is amazing for strapping tires.
https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rct...59afb4bfc6.jpg Gorilla string is amazing stuff for strapping tires I use Louise RC (Duratrax) tyres/wheels on both my Losis, they just balloon a little, but not so much as Pro-line tyres. However i want to try Pro-line Mashers in the future. |

WIch break strength Gorilla string do you use? Would using (dyneema) kite-lines be an option?

Is there a specific knot you use to keep the line from losing tension while you tie it?

This is my rear gearbox big bearing modification (8x16x4).
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rct...e64d0b5b3.jpeg Machined front side, uses 8x16x4 bearing. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rct...dd592f055.jpeg Machined rear side, uses 8x16x4 bearing. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rct...17ab8fe12.jpeg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rct...70dfac4d6.jpeg The stock pinion bearings are 5x13x4, that's too small for me :) https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rct...4b0020105.jpeg Steel bushing, 5x8x8mm https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rct...05fca3734.jpeg She's ready to run! I ended up pressing in the steel bushing with a vice on each side of the bearing, it's not moving and is rock solid. Everything spins smooth, ready to rock & roll 👍 https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rct...8cea035bc.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rct...2767dd81f.jpeg |

Impressive machining Overkill, those larger output bearings definitely look BEEFY! You have a shop yourself? Were you blowing through those bearings or just a part you wanted to try and improve? |
These things are easily the most sturdy RC I've ever owned, but nothing is foolproof. Here's the aftermath of a head on collision with an immovable object at full speed :tire:
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rct...794c3f1845.jpg I hit a 1ft tall ring of bricks around the base of a tree at the edge of a dirt road I was hauling down. Worst possible timing too, it happened right before the weekend's perfect weather. I had a ton of spare parts stockpiled, just none of the ones I needed :lol: It does look like all the parts will be here today, slim chance I'll be able to get it fixed up and get a run in by the time it gets dark though. |

I see Overkill has this done on both the MT410 and ET48?
