  1. Lol maybe i need to borrow that arm of yours I did agree with what you said before, and it makes sense as it saves you money! But if i cant help but wrench on them screws and if they round off i got to get something stronger if it's available And i think were all gifted in different ways Yeah your right Flextek did make a nice titanium arm set but like you said they are discontinued and i haven't seen a set available anywhere but will keep a look out for them O and have found the rockers that are going on my eREVO they are made by k-factory which i have also there clamping wheel hexes and they are good quality but then again i suppose they dont really do to much lol but will find out if the rockers are up to the job soon enough Heres a pic of them should be here probably by next week or sooner hopefully http://www.cmldistribution.co.uk/cml_product.php?menu=rc_cars&productId=0000000948&galleryImage=3
  2. Got the screw sets off ebay mate, they came from the usa as i couldn't find any here at the time and since was ordering a few other bits made sense Yeah it would be great if traxxas did give you a option to have a different chassis. But the only ones i have seen on my online travels lol. Is the kershaw design ones. Which have read mixed reviews on it, But thats it really mate, haven't seen any other company produce a chassis for the erevo
  3. Yeah thanks for the info but have already got wings fitted to all my revo's Wow mate that beast dose look awesome. Can we have a peak under the shell? There's something about it that just draws you in
  4. Hi Ting I really do know what you mean as i have to be careful even with quality hex drivers as i have this strange tendency to sometimes over tighten screws I need some sort of mini torx driver Well i know the steel drive shafts should last you a lot longer then the plastic counter part. Thanks again guys
  5. Hi mate Thank you for the kind words i am really getting to the finish line, shouldn't be more then a couple of months really and then its done. And wont really do anything with it but just use it. Maybe change the odd bits and piece's if need be, but nothing too drastic Thanks for suggesting the hot racing rockers they do like pretty good will give them some more thought thank you. And i cant stick a nitro engine in it mate, well i could but i have already got a nitro one and would like a quality electric one aswell Hi Ting Thanks again mate I have already upgraded the screws on it They are a stainless steel screw set on there and the black screws that look pretty much like standard ones are fullforce rc 12.9 hardened screws so have got the screws covered mate Hi mate thanks for the kind words buddy And your right i almost do have another complete revo. But sorry i am not selling it. As i have promised it to a friend off mine really, but if he changes he's mind will let you know Hi mate The stock screws are good i suppose but at times i seem to have a problem with correct tension as i once had a bit of a bad experience many years ago not tightening the screws enough and they started to come loose I like the screws nice and tight and sometimes i have rounded the standard screws but with some care and consideration i suppose you are right and dont really need to change the screws but i know having stronger screws does help me And yeah lol you can never have enough titanium mate The standard steel pillow balls are more than adequate really tbh. But wanted something a bit different. So after having a look around i found few different ones available and the main one is Lunsford titanium pillow balls. But for what they are i couldn't really justify the cost of them, So after having a few good quality parts from 3racing already. Went for there titanium pillow balls which i think will be perfect for me, as they are titanium and thats what i wanted with out the giant price tag for eight balls! And just for the record peep's there are only four products i know of that are real titanium from 3racing, there pushrods, tierods, pillow balls and hollow balls. The rest of the parts they have, where there is more than one option are aluminium and anodised different colours. So i know the more experienced people would already know this but dont want any one to get something they might buy and regret expecting it to be something else, Just look out for the "64" in the items name to be sure as this number has something to do with the grade of titanium used
  6. Back to work i guess, and all i can think about is fixing me poor little beaut!

  7. Hi guys Hope all is well there! Have got a few more bits came in the other day. Nothing to fancy, but i think some nice little touches. Some rpm pillow ball set screws. 3 racing titanium pillow balls. And the avid bearings with all important stickers came in aswell! Come on we all know stickers make the car go that little bit faster traxxas high performance front brake disc and a hot racing dual vented rear brake set Should improve the rear braking a heck of a lot more then the standard traxxas i have got fitted on there at the moment and look a bit better too (it is of a Jato but have done some reading on it and it should fit with a touch of light grinding on the chassis, although it is carbon fibre did have me a little worried so will have to see how huch i have to chop before i make it final) Well still haven't managed to fit the modded gearbox yet, but hopefully will get there very soon. Still on the look out for some nice alloy rockers, looks like will be going with the 3 racing ones, but still searching around Thank you
  8. Oooo that does look pretty good mate, Like the silver on there! really fancy
  9. WOW that looks amazing mate, really nice work done So slick and smooth, really nice mate
  10. Cant wait to see it But if i am not at the grand unveiling blame crysis 2 and i will catch up soon after i kick some alien booty
  11. Wow Mark Thank you, will have to print out a copy and stick it in my eRevo folder Thanks again, i think i can get my head around it after all
  12. LMAO that guy sounds like he was having some fun . Sorry but seriously, i can only speak from my own experience and there fine for me. I am not associated with any rc manufacturer and these are my own opinions on the proline 40 series. The only reason i am getting the phaltline mate is i like to have variety thats all and i think they look good . I have been using the the 40 series road rages on and off for nearly 4 years so if they were as bad as he claims, i must be a glutten for punishemnt Or maybe just not giving them enough lol. i haven't really experienced too much ballooning as long as my wheels stay on the ground and thats with all of them i think. Try and get a cheap set from somewhere mate and see what happens as you said your in no rush to get a set of the road rages. Either way the option is yours
  13. At work and need to get home asap should be a busy day ahead!

  14. Thanks mate for the kind words Well have followed the guide to locking the the 2nd gear now just have to find some time to install it and give it a test to see what happens But my crysis 2 should be at home so might take a few days break from this. Also can any one recommend some good alloy rockers? do like the look of the 3 racing silver ones. And do you guys think i should get the alloy shock mounts? if so any recommendation again please.
  15. Wow mate that is a beaut From reading kinda thourgh your thread wonder where i was when you guys were selling these? lol Would have taken it off you peeps no questions. But then i suppose i might not have had mine But seriously Jay dont know how you do all this stuff, i just dont find enough hours in the day lol. Well seriously smoking beaut you have there nice
  16. Hey mate Glad i could help out and thank you aswell for your help. Looks like were making a switch at some point as i am going for the phatlines and see how they go
  17. Wow mate indeed wow That beast looks better every time i take a look at it and yeah i understand the mess mate i really do but i think its part of the hobby (Well kinda lol)
  18. Wow mate Hang on in there touch some anodised ally or titanuim which ever you prefer , the rest of your parts will be there soon ( Or i sure hope so as i wanna see this too ) Getting me interested in that fancy looking motor too really nice and cool looking But from what i can see that should be worth the wait. Looks amazing mate so far, nice work indeed
  19. Wow Guns that is some great advice indeed thank you mate Didnt really look at it like that at all But will take your advice onboard and act accordingly. Your right mate, i should take it out more and actually use it then waiting for this and that to come in lol. Because at a few stages almost felt like whats the point As i am not actually using it and its sat there waiting to be fired up, so thank you again. Will use it more and go from there mate Looks like you are saving me some cash after all mate But while no ones looking I gave some more thought about the alloy rockers Revorocks mentioned as i was in two minds what to do with them. First was to just die them black and second was to get alloy ones. Will have a think but i am swayed more towards the alloy Thanks again guys! advice is greatly appreciated
  20. Thank you also mate for the info The 40 series are made by proline and are pretty good too I think the name comes from the size of the wheel but can't remember 100% from the top of me head Well heres a link to some more info on them: http://prolineracing.com/tires/road-rage-3.8-40-series-street-tires/ But fancied something a bit different now and thank you for the help, will get some oredered in a couple of weeks
  21. I also agree with both of you guys, At some point i will get a petrol beaut. the only one missing from the collection We all have personal preferences about our vehicles and to say one is better than another is a bit of BS to me anyway lol. I do like one vehicle more then others but there is nothing wrong with other vehicles. If i was filthy rich i would happily own all of them even ones i never really plan on using lol. Really do hate fanboys as there is no need for it, if you like one vehicle more than another great, that is fantastic stuff indeed, Nothing wrong with a bit of loyalty but dont try to claim it is the "ultimate vehicle and all others are junk" lmao. As everyone person is different and people will always have different opinions on the same topic. Just one of those things in life, get over it or stay stuck with time! Show some fellow courtesy to your fellow rc enthusiast! The best thing for me with these little beauts is i can take them easily most places, where the big uns cant go. And yeah they are great fun too
  22. Hi mate Very nice looking skid plates Really do like the look of them and will have to get them at some point! Could you point us to where the link to the metric screw set is? Is it one of those hyperlink things as i cant seem to notice it on the previous page. Thanks again and some nice work going on there
