fQ06

Rather then blame the lexan ?

seen some paint bands , not near the quality of Pactra ....


next time use the steel wool , even cheep paint will stick after a good buff with .

This is beyond hilarious.

Funny, pactra is what I use (RC265 & RC251 & RC262) and what I used on my friends flotek (different colors).

I've used steel wool or scotch brite for the past 13 or more years.

Tired of repeating myself, I'm going to bed

Had a brand rear diff blow out yesterday on a ride I just built ..


also waiting for more of the new thicker shims from Ae..

So to repair ?

I ditched the little shim used on the out drive shaft & installed two of the normal shims under the sun gear instead ....

diff feels good , its smooth ...

Tomorrow it gets a test spin ....

If you installed it correctly, you wouldn't have to repair anything.

I did install everything correctly , you think I missed something ?

This diff stripped out on the first pack on a brand new Team ...

My personal truck has bent and worn coned shims and still won't skip ...

Scott did like how I went about with the repair though , so tomorrow we will C .

Maybe a bad patch, been running mine about six months, it's getting the odd split here and there but no paint issues, still looks mint.

I used to do 000 steel wool, but I switched to scotch brite pads. That's why I can paint with plain ole Rustoleum and it not flake. I usually spray the body with Windex or Fantastic first, then hit it with the scotch brite.

The first coat is most important, it gives the additional coats something to bind too. Flourescent yellow seems like the worst offender. I can't comment on the whole Proline thing, the only one I have is the kit body for my RB4.1.

Ye, I warmed up the body, the can, soap'd and washed, rinsed for'ever' and the Black and blue on the body both peel right off. But my stocker, RC8, Wraith, and other Proline bodies, no issue for years. Just this one was a catastrophe. /shrug

That's life, no complaints, just a bummer.

One more reason to switch to Method or J Concepts.

Ok you guys convince me .


I'll be going with the Pro Line next .....

Wise choice..I'd recommend the "New" Flo-tec Toyota..it's the ticket for SC Trucks..NOT a fan of Toyota..but they work..

Just got a new 4600 4pole. What's a good place to start gearing wise?

Also to exoteric chassis or not. I'm always a little funny about after market design changes.

Small to medium track 11-13, larger 1/8th type tracks 13-15........

I run on an small indoor clay track and I'm currently geared at 11/60.......
