And I need a better camera.

Dirty bastard has been needing a rebuild for some time. Ordered about 1,000 grade 12.9 screws from McMasterCarr's website in varying lengths and types. If you are curious you can find them here. They have just about everything, so much so that the site can be confusing for some. http://www.mcmaster.com/

Didn't have time to clean it like i wanted so instead i just disassembled it. I'll clean it in a day or two and get parts ordered for worn out stuff.
when was the last time u cleaned it?

Had it at the Huntley track a bit ago, then had other cars I was running. The huntley track was VERY dusty (still being worked on as we speak anyways). Dust was so bad that if the car was moving away from you it was impossible to see through the cloud of dust kicked up by the tires. It got everywhere.

But its time to rebuild it anyways. New fastners, new fuel tank, new front bulkhead(screw holes are work out). New bearings. The rear center CVD has too much slop and needs to be replaced. Some of the hinge pins are bent (not bad, very slight)

It was just time for a rebuild.
when was the last time you cleaned yours lol
Based on the title I thought I would see a buggy that caught fire or blew somehow or something to that nature!

Think of it as a real life exploded parts diagram. Confusedmash:
got all my screws from mcmaster also, very cheap
ThirdGen thanks for pointing them out to me I might have to make my next order through them
it's generally more money up front to go with McMaster Carr but in the long run it saves you tons of money.
ya u might as well spend the 100$, i think thats what it was for every screw size on my car x100 lol!
That's one hell of a small parts kit. Never need to worry about screws again though.

If you order them in bulk you'll always have the screw you need. Which is a good thing.
