are you talking about that blue wire shielding looking tube? You leave that on there. That's how you quickly determine the springs color code, which indicates the springs stiffness. With the aluminum drive system of the RB7ss, I wouldn't recommend drag racing. If you beefed them up to the...

Cap, You might want to visit someone and talk about your thoughts while gazing into a fire. LOL.. I was certified as an arc welder, but I haven't arc welded in over 15 years. I love the look of a good weld that looks like a row dimes. So, when are you going to start racing your RB7?

You can try using a better wire. That might work. However, the mig will do better. I would like to get a tig welder. I haven't tigged in about 30 years. Dang I'm getting old! I first put 20 years, then I realized that was not accurate.

What kind of welder do you have? My brother in-law has a flux core welder from Harbor Freights, and there was nothing I could do to get a good bead with that. It pretty well could have been due to the cheap wire on it. I'm taking over her buggy/truck project and turning it back into a buggy...

My son and daughter are racing. I am sitting this out. I don't have to time or money to support all 3 of to race. My wife even got into the excitement of racing. She loves going to races and watching them.

Mig welding is SO much cleaner than flux core. However, if you have a good enough machine, you can lay down a pretty good bead with flux core. It just takes a lot more practice. I got to the point of being able to do pretty good with it. I always get Lincoln or Hobart wire. They work pretty...

My son finally broke a part on his buggy while racing. He was getting the crap beat out of him by other drivers running into him. Then he went off a pretty big jump and landed awkward on the back right tire and busted the a-arm. The think the others crashing into him cracked the arm then the...

nope. I have the timing at 0, so I'm not pushing the motor very hard. If I start cranking up the timing, I'll start thinking about a motor fan.

Speaking of an ESC, have you seen the all aluminum Kyosho Lemans 240s esc? It's looks really nice. I'm contemplating on getting one.

They have salmon runs here in the delta also. The delta is known for having the most species of game fish in the US. There's a lot of fish in that thing. I would love to go and catch walleye. I hear they are really fun. I see they get pretty big also. I've owned a 500 since I was 16...

I have dirt bikes. A Honda CR500, Suzuki RM-Z250, and a Kawasaki KFX400 quad. It doesn't get cold enough for ice fishing around here. I would love to try it out. It's trout season out here. However, Look up "bass fishing in the California Delta" when you get a chance. They have huge bass...

I haven't touched my RC's in a couple weeks. I've switched over to working on the motorcycles. There are a lot of projects on my plate right now. I haven't been fishing in 6 months, and that is crazy!

Ditch them. There really isn't a need for them. Did you tell your daughter you broke her truck yet?

That would be exciting to see. The only additions I could think of them making to it would be a quick change diff and an adjustable diff height. Everything else is pretty much up to date with everyone else. My daughter plans on racing it, but I really don't think she will do it. She really...

I ordered some different rims for my daughters truck. I got some that have more of a negative offset to make it a little wider. Right now, the tires rub when it turns.

So how's the build? Kyosho just released new aluminum shock towers for the RB7.

I was able to find a couple RB7's on eBay for $229. I haven't seen and RB7ss kits for awhile. I don't believe these buggies are discontinued. I think they are just sold out. Kyosho is known for keeping the same style buggy out for quite a long time. Besides, if they did come out with a new...

If you want more travel, you can put the SC6 front shock tower and RT6 front shocks on the front. The RT6 front shocks are the same as the RB7 rear shocks. The SC6 shocks are the same length, but they are a different design. I'm not sure if they make that much of a different. The...

Let me know how well those tires work.

Very nice. Are you going to put those truck tires on it? I see you sprung for the Kyosho aftermarket springs. They were a little too pricey for me. I purchased some associated springs. they're the same size but half the price.
