The new body turned out OK. LOL. I am not much of a painter....gotta refine that skill, but the body is not a total embarassment. Might post a pic before Wrench Day....gotta find the camera.

In terms of what else I could add....well....I upped the steering servo to a 200oz, and added aluminum C's and Knuckles to support the added servo torque. I also added a simple small little aluminum servo arm for that steering.

I am looking forward to the comp and Wrench Day, but I did NOT like the 1+ hour washing the red off of my tires after practice today. I got it all off. PALMOLIVE DISH SOAP took it off....and now the M3 compound is ULTRA tacky. The new steering servo was definitely nice. 30% more power....NICE.

Dang Josh.... LMK when you're heading down to practice, I woulda came today had I known.


On another note.... I got my HOME MADE dig to work in all three positions! 4wd, front wd, front w/dig! Very happy.

Josh (or everyone for that matter)

Found an easy way to get the red off last night.

Take the tires off your rims.

Put in sink.

Put a huge squirt of dish soap in there with the tires and fill with scolding hot water till the tires are submerged completely.

Let sit for 15-30 minutes.

Get in there, rub the tires a little bit and rinse off. The red will be gone.

I don't know if it had anything to do with the soap I used, but it was Ivory Ultra.

Why did they turn red...?
