Default RE: Question About Using A Rubber Band

I've been using a spring but it can sometimes rub the carb boot. I'm gonna try the hair band thingy, looks good to me. I hardly have to go to my LHS anymore, if I run out of thread lock I can use my wife's clear nail polish and now this hair band trick.

Yup, been on there 2 years, pulled 3 servo's back that quit during racing. I haven't opened the bag of carb "o's" since I bought them. Granted I don't race in the winter so if your a year round person, it's only one year on them. Less weight than a spring also.

The carb "O's" are silicon bands not rubber bands that's why they last.

Well for your R/C i think you already got your anwser, Personally I always run one of the silicone hair bands just to be safe.

Now for your your AR-15 you do it like this

Great way to chew up ammo, get kicked out of your local range and or get a visit from ATF,
FBI,NSA or whatever Three letter agency gets to you first.


Now this guys got it down, him and INTEGRA don't need no stinkin rubber bands.

HMM anyone know why the links I posted for these videos don't work? I know they are there since I just watched them.

Anyway when you go to the video and it won't load, copy the url from the light blue box to the left under the posters profile,
then open a new explorer window and paste it into the address box the video will play then.
