To those getting new knuckles and C's it is worth while to replace the flange pipe bushing at the same time if you do not already have metal ones installed.

This seems to be beefier than the standard issue.

[colgout]

Steel over Plastic, Steel always wins.

The one that come with the kit are metal, but similar to those supplied with the servo (thin wall tube fold into flange bush, not very strong). The one that cam sug is machined da best.

[highlucks]

I cant wait to see all these mirror image honchos rolling around this year.:p

[colgout]

That's why I got a dingo....

[Stewbaru]

I cant wait to see all these mirror image honchos rolling around this year.:p

Better than an 8x rolling down a hill...

[highlucks]

you mean to tell me that seeing 6 honchos all the same in a line is better than seeing a custom 8x8 truck rolling down 20m dam wall and exploding at the bottom into little pieces.

I think anyone that was there to see it would have been stoked that they could witness it.
I was.

Thats it for now...

I feel like part of the in crowd!

[LINEY]

Ok guys- Im going to bed- the money needs to be in my paypal account by 5.30am tomorrow as thats when Im ordering as I am working all weekend and this has skyrocketed in the last couple of hours so am closing it NOW, not being rude just too much for me to deal with.
No money no order

cheers

[LINEY]

Order has been placed as Im off to work for the weekend, sorry for those that missed out.

cheers

[highlucks]

SO who missed out

[Carlman]

Not me... I hope, got my money in on time...

[DinPerth]

I got mine in by 8pm last night :)

[LINEY]

I don't know if it's appropriate but I never heard back from obzelite and I apologize for him missing the cut off but I had to draw a cutoff and so then it was.

[Fozzy]

Steve,

Thats fair enough mate. You cant be expected to carry people for the order. You made a cut off date. If you miss out to bad.

Thanks for doing it mate. I know how much of a pain GB's can be to organise.

[Stewbaru]

So did we get regular postage or EMS.........itching to get these bits in time for the next round of competitions.

[LINEY]

Ok guys- IT HAS ARRIVED
Just picked the box up this arvo.
I am on call for the next 9 days/nights so no guarantee of me being home but this weekend should be ok in the morning to pick up but please ring me before calling just incase I'm out on a fault.
ps; put my hi knuckles and chubs/cvd's etc and find that the long steering arm needs to be about 8mm longer at a rough guess otherwise the wheels turn in on themselves and I tried swapping sides but no difference.
I will pm my number to you.

cheers

[highlucks]

Next group buy........


Long drag links for all the new steering set ups

[Carlman]

And 4 screws to install the hubs to the carriers... Would of thought they would include them with the hub carriers.

[Stewbaru]

Didn't you take the screws out of the axles before you installed the hubs?
Or use long grubs screws, like those supplied with the Axial rear lockouts.

[highlucks]

Knuckle to C hub Stewy.

Because the new C is aluminium you need a metric screw not the plastic self tapper that comes with the stock units.

Carl surely you have a four M3 x 12mm screws to suit this job?

[Carlman]

Suprisingly not cam... Shits me aye haha

[highlucks]

Well if you get stuck I have some for you.

Time to buy a screw kit. This one is pretty good but you will never use the 2mm screws. Link (http://www.rcscrewz.com/product_info.php/rcparts/bulk-screw-kits/p/rm005-racers-450-piece-metric-kit-for-crawlers/cPath/60/products_id/3373)

Also check out fastener-express (http://www.fastener-express.com/) where you can just buy what you want in various metals. That's where I got the blue aluminium ones for the Thing

[mark68]

A good place for M3 and M4 cap crews is

L&T Venables
1/308 Victoria Road, Malaga WA 6090
(08) 9248 6011

They sell them individually, all sorts of sizes.

I can help you with this. (http://www.teamadrenaline.net/forums/showpost.php?p=88093&postcount=4)

Woulnt of thought they would have it... Ah well that solves it I can see it from my work right now haha

Cam are you sure it's m3 x 12mm?

[highlucks]

Pretty sure it is. If not its not to hard to knock off 2mm

[Carlman]

Ok cheers guys I'll go for that.

[highlucks]

If the pricing is good. I would suggest grabbing

All M3

8mm x 20
10mm x 20
12mm x 20
16mm x 20
20mm x 20
25mm x 20
35mm x 10

M3 lock nut x 50 as spares if you are planning a build at some point make it 100

M4 Lock nut x 12-> Spare wheel nuts

That will pretty much cover every bolt you need for an SCX10

[colgout]

Carl, From the Dingo manual, the screw in question is M3x10, if the ali knuckle is thicker, then M3x12 would be ok. Get both just in case.

I can say LV Veneables price is not the cheapest, but they have most of the stuff you need. To get what Cam is suggesting, I guess you better get a screw kit. It would cost more than $100 get get all the screws cam is suggesting.

[Carlman]

Cam I'll be sure to make sure they are included ; )

Dave, cheers for that Mate they did end up needing 10mm and venables only carry 12mm, easy fix though.

Is anyone having trouble with the bushes seeming too short? Mine, when installed, do not protrude through the knuckle subsequently binding when the screw is installed...

[Stewbaru]

If you're getting M4 nuts, best get flanged nuts, the normal nuts can dig into plastic wheels....

[colgout]

Or use a washer underneath.
