I use a ten dollar battery powered engraver from harbour freight. Thank you to the guy posting that advice a while back. Works great!

x2. I think the set of four tiny picks was like $5-$6. Different angled heads, extremely pointy, lol. They kind of look like dental tools.

a lot of good recommendations given already, I'll throw in Speed Passion as well. I run there GT 2.0 Pro ESCs in all my vehicles except the GT 2.1 Pro Stock I just got in for the B4 it looks like. Very robust, can be set for blinky mode and can even handle 4x4 SCTs with 4 pole motors.

There top of the line Reventon Pro ESC is like $117 right now on sale from them.

Really two pages on something so simple as how to get dirt out of a screw?

The orange handle picks were $1.99 for 4 different picks at Harbor Freight.

Reventon Pro is a great ESC. Best I've ever had. Run it exclusively in all my cars now. One program box for all of them is really nice as well.

Use a clear chassis cover and dirt will never get in the screw holes....

beats using a air hose each run, better tech ...
Oyeah .....

There really is only a small part of the track where I can put full power down to the wheels as we do not have any straights, which is why I'm questioning about my steering, because the main mini straight to turn is where I wanna put the power down, but I can't do that if I'm going to be flying off the track because I keep going wide
I know exactly what slop your talking about in the tb's. u can get rid of it or most of it w/a small amount of dremeling. where the bell crank "wiper assembly" comes thru the uprights and swings back and fourth, it hits on both sides of the chassis. Just remove small amounts of the chassis uprights at a time until u can get full lock on both sides. I do it to all my AE chassis'. One of the best mods u can do and its free. I'll try to get a pic.

You'll be surprised how much you use them once you have them. They're great for getting the dirt out of the hex in the screws under the chassis, for when you drop a screw and it gets wedged under the trans or somewhere else, when a piece of steak or chicken from your lunch gets wedged in your teeth at the track, I even use them to change pistons without disassembling my shocks.

Was thinking of upgrading my slipper to the Avid Triad slipper. What do you guys think of the Avid slipper? I was thinking of running it in my T4 and B4.1.
