S.A.E.W.O.T.

NO you fool... RPM ball cups are so freakin' hard to put on, and even harder to remove once on you car.... what's an easier way to take them off/on from your vehicle? Saewot, you crazy basher, I bet your Evader's steering probably isn't even setup right! you prolly have 1 degree caster on your right and 1.5 degrees on your left.... Put on some PROPER tires, get setup board, set it up right and go race it and jack down your suspension...

S.A.E.W.O.T.

lol yea my steering is messed! lol im am man. i jus gotta get more shat! before i get the race thing goin on!...[X(]

- properly rebuild ball diffs (turn one to the left, the other MUST goto the right... just need to know how much diff lube to put...) Was already planning this one
- properly rebuild "Team Associated" shocks...I finally had them right... but I'm not sure if I'll get them right the next time.. Was already planning this one
- properly solder on Deans plugs... the end where the tips meet the wire on mines always has burn marks.... Was already planning this one
- properly glue/balance a 2WD off-road vehicles tire (ie. B4, BK2...etc.) I don't run that kind of tires, sorry.
- properly install turnbuckles into rod ends... so if you twist the left side 5 times, you gotta have it all equally precise? You pretty much just covered it lol
- properly de-seal a bearing (got lucky when I desealed my B4's 2 diff carrier bearings! Not something I'd ever teach someone.
- properly remove RPM ballcups from your car/take them off your car (they've got kungfu grip on them ball ends... and seem never to wanna go on without a lotta pressure... see below..
- properlt solder a schottky diode and 3 motor capacitors on a motor VERY NEATLY good one

- whats the all around best truck? LOL, good luck with that..
how to install metal gears in a servo that uses plastic gears? I've never found one that gave you the option..
how not to break every single part in your truck? good luck with that..
how to restrain yourself from doing what Saewot did! again, good luck with that..
How to make a rustler race worthy! Sorry, I can't work miracles..
how to make tires like you do. keep dreaming..



RPM ballcups are easy to remove. Take your pliers and rotate them along the axis of the tie-rod. Once you exceed 15 degrees, they pop right off.

S.A.E.W.O.T.

lol good 1 sppedy!

There insanely hard to put in, waaay to tight of a fit... I had to use a mallet to get mine on my pro4, and I will have to do the same thing when I stuck um' on my pede! There a pain to get on, but very easy to see how they go to getter and such.

well, i bet i can do it. im gonna hook up dual brushless, titanium tires, titanium everything. even the esc case and servo and reciever case will be titanium

45mph pede

Once again, I know im not one to talk here, but why? I know that you want to make it look nice, and make it light, but theres no reason for Ti everywhere. . . Its your truck, I just dont see spending that much on that kind of stuff.

yeah. i was kiddin about the 2000 into a rusty.

YzakB4DDRG

heheh, and I've only spent a total (I keep track) of $1167.64 Canadian dollars on my Associated B4!

YzakB4DDRG

Amen to that... I use a small wrench from my dad's toolbox and pop the open end over the ballcup and hit the end with a mallrt.... I don't wanna bend the steel turnbuckles... I'm too lazy to go out and buy more ballcups for my spare titanium turnbuckles... and no, no one can have them... I'll run my steels 'til they're obliterated, then I'll eventually use my titanium ones!

Speedmunkey

Are you guys for real on the ballcups? All you have to do to put em on is get a pair of needlenose pliers, put the ballcup on the ball stud, then squeeze from both sides. To remove it, all you do is rotate the ballcup beyond 15 degrees, like it would turn as you tighten the turnbuckle..

a8mc, haven't seen you for a while.

YzakB4DDRG

Yeah, we're serious, especially on my B4, since I have the RPM gear cover, it's hard to get a pair of needle nose pliers into that little spot. Barely any clearance...

Speedmunkey

Well yeah, the ones on the shock tower can be tough, but all you gotta do is pull the tranny to have full access. They pop right on.

YzakB4DDRG

ah, well, a couple of screws aren't that bad... also, would you suggest I use threadlock on the screws that mout the RPM gear cover on my B4?

Speedmunkey

I don't run a gear cover, so I've never had a problem with that lol Of course, I run on a perfectly groomed track, free of anything that could gum up the gearing.

YzakB4DDRG

oh, yeah... that's s'possed to make me happy lol! I run in a track that was once a cornfield.... wait... it WAS once a conrfield.... but at the same time... it's IN the middle of a cornfield....
