RE: SH .28 P3

Does anyone know how long these piston/sleeves last? I have a SH 28 P3 that I took care of properly and didn't abuse, but only got about 2.5 gallons through it. The compression is gone. I thought...

RE: gluing dyed wheels to tires

+1 - I usually hit the rims and the tires lightly with a sanding drum on a dremel. This ruffs up the edges for a good glue joint. I haven't had a glue joint break yet.

RE: Body Paint

Make sure you use light coats and that it dries between coats. If it's not dry between coats, the paint will skin over and take a very long time to dry. Take your time and don't rush it.

RE: Quality truggy

Have you checked out the Caster Racing K8T? It's very durable and comes with big bore shocks and PBS for 425. It's a quality kit. Throw in some good electronics and you're ready to go. I haven't...

RE: -OFFICIAL CASTER RACING K8T TRUGGY THREAD-

Yea - the Caster 3 piece quick change engine mount works great! It's a must if you pop your engine out a lot. Goes back in and the gear mesh is still perfect.

RE: Break in method for long life? My idea (heat cycle) Please read.

I think it's best to use a heat gun, a hair dryer doesn't get as hot as a heat gun will or as fast. Use a temp gauge and check it as you heat it. You're not going to be able to heat it and carry it...

RE: -OFFICIAL CASTER RACING K8T TRUGGY THREAD-

Hey Vnmsgt - I'm going to try this on the K8T to help with the squatting. How are you setting the spacers in the front - up or down? I'll post results once I try it. I probably won't get to test...

RE: aluminum screws

I wouldn't trust aluminum screws. The metal is soft and the heads will strip easily. You can try aluminum nuts...report back how they work.

RE: Go tech .21 3 port feedback

RE: ***OFFICIAL CASTER RACING ZX1-R***
