      It's nice to have things colour coded, eBay would be your best bet, other people have them so they must be available from somewhere.

      The water doesn't need to be on the boil when you dye the chassis. As long as the water is boiling hot by the time you put the chassis in. A grey E-revo chassis should be black in the time it takes the water to cool.

      Everytime ive dyed traxxas plastics I do two tubs of boiling water leave the parts in one on a soak then prepare the dye bucket then transfer the parts in to it.

      The idea was it would soften the plastic up to allow the dye to take better and everytime my parts was pure black within 10 mins I thought of it like our skin in soak it opens up lol sounds strange but I swear 10 min and its pure black. I like it though when it has a sort of metalic shine to it too almost a faint bronze. Or if...

      My merv was pretty scuffed up before dye but after it looked new.

      Some people say ritt dye ruins the plastics but I dont think that's true for traxxas . Hpi or rpm plastic. But ive heard of some plastics shriveling up in the hot dye.

      Ive also reheated dye and reused it with the same results

  4. Filing down RPM arms with a tiny file takes a long time

  5. Finaly found some motivation to carry on with my ERBE build:)

      From the UK warehouse? Surely not? Even HongKong orders should have landed by now?? Very poor show, retailers of cheap RC kit to the masses..

      I ran a wpsc8 in an Emaxx for a year on 4s with 2350 with no issues. Just needs gearing properly. You will prob have to sacrifice some speed. I was constantly waiting for it to smoke but it never seemed to get flustered, now its going strong in my pede.

  24. I cant work out why my savage flux diffs keep leaking.O rings are ok,washers are ok but if i leave it standing for a few weeks all the fluid leaks out of them.

    1. Nitroholic

      If it's not leaking through the o-rings...that just leaves the bearings and teh gaskets to check

  25. I emailed KP to see why they dont do jumbo sized dry roasted nuts but havent had a reply.They do other flavours in jumbo size so why not dry roasted?

    1. ch!ef

      ch!ef

    2. martin34

      Tescos do thier own ones tho but Tesco dry roasted nuts are horrible.
