RE: DuraTrax 1/5 DX450 Brushless On/Off-Road Motorcycle

Outstanding advice! Thanks for taking the time to write that down, Microdan! I'll give this a try. I'm certain that I was on the guide bars more than a nano-second. Probably more like 30 seconds...

RE: DuraTrax 1/5 DX450 Brushless On/Off-Road Motorcycle

RE: DuraTrax 1/5 DX450 Brushless On/Off-Road Motorcycle

Nano - Crappy Cali weather?? Ha!!! You should come to Michigan. It's crappy ALL the time. To be honest, I don't even know why we have weather reports up here. Between September and April, it's...

RE: DuraTrax 1/5 DX450 Brushless On/Off-Road Motorcycle

Nano,

Again, great job on the brake system. These bikes are great, but they are a little weak on stopping power. I wasn't able to drive mine very well on our indoor track because I couldn't...

RE: Braking Questions ???

Outstanding! I was in the process of fabricating an entire caliper when I read your post. I definitely don't want to re-invent the wheel and I was happy to find that someone else has done it. ...

RE: General Lee HPI Charger!!!

I made some revisions to the wheels. Here is a photo of one of the new ones....pretty darn close to the Vectors (except for the 8 spokes of course).

RE: General Lee HPI Charger!!!

Straick - I used "hemi orange" paint which is correct for the general lee. They don't make (as far as I know) the actual decals with the white background, so I had to custom cut them from vinyl. I...

RE: Associated RC10 B4 CUSTOM WHEELS

It took WAY longer than I'd like to admit to make these! They are aluminum. The fronts are only 1/8oz heavier than the plastics, but the rears are about 2x heavier. I made a jig to mount the...
