RE: Why glue a woven graphite chassis?

I think that is really cool. I am the same way. There are so many people that just do something so it works, and that drives me nuts! I don't think I have ever heard of anything that runs better...

RE: Sweet 2005 Mustang body

I ended up ordering HPI 31mm tires and wheels. If everything (fit and look) works out, I will post a pic or two.

All out performance isn't that important to me. I just got a novak SS5800 for...

RE: My Wicked TC3 project

RE: Sweet 2005 Mustang body

Yep, that is the same mustang.

I have found some wider wheels, like 30mm, but I can't figure out if the offset will work with a TC3. It seems the wider wheels have a 3mm offset. Does this put...

Wider TC3

I need to make my tc3 wider by 10mm.

Will the wide 31mm Tamiya wheels fit a tc3? If they fit, would the spacing be right so it pushes the tires out 5mm per side? I really like the idea of...

Sweet 2005 Mustang body

I just ordered this Mustang body for my new, still being assembled FT-TC3. My problem is that this is a 200MM body.

RE: solder

I agree that it takes an experienced person to solder with a high temp gun. I personally don't like soldering irons because you don't have any temp control. They are just "on" for 30W or 60W or...

26mm the widest?

I *think* the "shut down" feature is just the cigarette lighter thing popping out after it gets hot, just like it would in the dash of your car.
