Aaronjm Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I used Araldite in my rear diff! Solid as a rock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catalin4u24 Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 I will try thread lock an see how it works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaronjm Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I think Loctite thread lock may be brittle once it dries. I could be wrong. Araldite epoxy was what I used! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyrc Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Blue tac, araldite, hot glue any work well buy obv some are more permanent than others. All depends if u would want to unlock the diff in the furture. Although ypu could always buy a second diff if u wanted an unlocked one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catalin4u24 Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) I decided to go brushed on this. What do you guys think, Kenjo Drift 21T or the HPI Firebolt 15T ? I am tempted by the Firebolt, I mean... more power, very cheap... what can go wrong? And what pinion for the Firebolt? I have no idea..

Zardoz Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Good luck getting hold of a Skyline shell, looks mint. I quite like the Cedric too though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catalin4u24 Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 I have no chance to find that shell anywhere on stock I will buy something from modelsport, just to finish the car and maybe in the future I'll have more luck with the shell I dream off (the old school skyline) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catalin4u24 Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 Well, the body is almost finished, I need to paint the side mirrors and rear wing, and then to buy and install the electronics. Of course the paint job is not perfect, lots of mistakes but yeah... since is my first ever painted body, at least I learned some things. So yeah, this is it. I am almost happy with the end result, could have been better, much better but for now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catalin4u24 Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 I was waiting for my alu shocks but I just saw that they are dispatched from China. I feel cheated because the sellers username is rcmart-uk and I thought it was from a uk seller I found these : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/200646858762?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Any good? I think I'm going to buy them cause I dont want to wait 2-3 weeks for those... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Donalds Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 RCMart postage is pretty quick anyway If you do cancel your order, just get yourself some TRF shocks, not much more than those you linked, but a huge amount better quality Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catalin4u24 Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 No, I wont cancel my order. Was placed and paid 6 days ago on 4th. How long do you recon it will take to arrive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
