Mark seems to have been running this mod since 2004, I would guess it has some merits to stick with it for this long.

If you've got a 5/64 L wrench, I'll make one for you. Have a spare handle for it, no $.
Better, if you have two spare L wrenches, I can freshen up mine

I always toss those, happened to have one that didn't get tossed that I made the tool with but its been in use for a while now and could use a fresh tip.

Trying to make OC/RC tomorrow, but if our paths don't cross, leave it with the shop and I'll make it the next time I'm there.

Going to try to make a tool, hope I don't dremel my fingers off.

Made me a cool tool, great success. Super easy to do.

Excuse me if I
disagree...


Myself will be sticking with the new Hard arms and a fresh bulk head .

Why ?
Way less flex ...

Yeah, I do want to try the new arms. Just hard to tear into it when the current arms are fine.
I will have some in the pit box for when I do need to replace them. Guess when one goes I'll do both.

06 C-On..
Ditch those old arms will yeah ...
Already told everyone why ...


I have run them all week , mass hits & crash's ....

Been blasting down the straight with out a care .


Hard arms R still tight and smooth ....

All the faster B44's are using at our GOLD CUP today ..

I need to rebuild my diffs, what parts do I need to replace? Just the rings?

ok I have a really kind of newbie question. I bought all my electronics yesterday. I bought the reedy 737 saddles. My question is on charging them. I believe Im have im right but wanna double check first. Two charge both of the saddles at once I leave the jumper wire plugged in and just plug the positive and negatives in the other inboards correct? Also I seen they do not have balance plugs in them, is this normal? So I guess I cant balance them? Just lipo charge them at 4.8 amps since they are 4800's correct? Sucks I cant balance them, I always balance charge and keep a sharp eye on the volts per cell. Or do I charge them one at a time and charge them at 1s? Im new to the saddles packs.

No you need the charging plugs for saddles. They do get balanced and have balancing plugs attached. There is a jumper and then a + and - WITH balancing plug.

My question where is the balance plugs in the batteries?

There isn't one. The balance plug is soldered to the postive, negative, and jumper cable, iirc.

You could charge them as 1s packs individually if you wanted, it would just take a while.

My Reedy's came with the charging wires. I only had to solder on the deans plug.

Tony the Balance wire is on the jumper wire or should be.
