Status: online 		i have started sweating while it was snowing a couple times. i love the snow, hate rain though. worst weather for me is anything above 75 with humidity to match. i can survive 100f, just as long as there is little to no humidity.

Status: offline 		Back on topic, the absolute biggest beating when building (my first) kit was putting the rod ends on the turnbuckles. Good God almighty! I mean I have some strength, and ensure you had to use it all to get those on. Not talking about threading them (that was easy), but getting them onto the thread. Wow!

If you don't have one, a Dremel tool is almost a must have tool.

A touch with one of these bits and threading is much easier.

I still cringe when I have to do that I've done a few models they were easy I forgot what one I did I got fed up grabbed a small drillbit and enlarged the hole a fraction to start it easier

I heard AE had the turnbuckles and rod ends already assembled in the rc8.2e  factory team kit, good enough reason to buy it

Status: offline 		People who say hobbywing ESC's are junk without ever trying or seeing one, just cause they don't cost 50%-100% more like other brands mean they must be unreliable junk...

Also people who will recommend a brushless ESC when the person is specifically asking about a brushed

well yes, but thing is a lot of the ppl asking for NiMh also want to run powerful brusheless systems that would destroy the battery, and potentially be a safety risk. In those cases saying go lipo is fully warranted.

But agree for someone that has some light brushed tamiya vehicle for their 5-12yo lipo IMO is not recommended, and I won't say to use it.
I also recommend brushed vehicles for that age group too unless they show responsibility, cause my 12yo nephew is very irresponsible, and would probably hurt someone with a bruhless monstrosity as he cant stop hitting things with a brushed motor.
