Now that you are done giggling





I was rewiring my starter box for the Ofna blue starter box with chrome top and the dam screws for the motor disappeared! Anyone know which size they were?
 
which ones exactly jon? its the 12v motor right? and did you look on the motor can, they get stuck there a lot?
 
I'm not sure of the size..but if u dont have what it calls for LMK i can prolly help you out.
 
I have that starter box too. Its always good to keep an old bucket of screws in your workshop cuz when you lose a screw (hint hint) you can dig in there and hopefully find a new screw. This is weird cuz this happened to me last night! I lost a screw and i found a replacement in my BUCKET-O-SCREWS.
 
well LA-De-DA for you buggyboy.... :jk: take one of the screws from the battery holder and visit the Home depot...buy 30 for what you LHS will charge for 4...
 
I don't have the parts list for it that comes with it. The move to the house ....homeowners you know what I mean.

Bouzouki- Thanks for the insight ass.


CorradoPsi - Thats the one!! I checked that too. Used to use an old motor to hold screws for me.

xdamxincx- Yup you are correct but I took the motor off the box to reposition it for 1/8th scale. That ziptie I just leave alone!

wannarunem- No need Bro, but thanks for the offer. Just want to get the dimensions so I can go to the local hardware shop and get some spares.

Buggyracer28- Trust me I have that in just parts bins for all my rides. All labeled too!


Plaidfish- Is that the same one? If so, thanks!!!
 
I believe it's a little longer but I used em to remount my motor in the same OFNA box....I took my battery tray out and made it so I use my Power supply to run it....I use the bannana jacks to hook everything up now.....the box is lighter and more versatile.....anyway when I took out the tray I used one of those screws to mount my motor and it worked fine.....

Thanks for help. I will get a few of those..just shorter. Mine is able to run both the battery cell and a car battery too.
 
I have the bucket too but I usually go buy a new batch of whatever I'm lookin for so I know I got it then I throw the rest in a bucket of oddballs or sort the typical screws in my box.....I got the bucket habbit from my dad's shop....the only problem there is it takes me 10times longer to go through all the buckets than to just go to the hardware store or the screw shop and buy em.....No that is not some kinky sex toy shop and yes I actually have a shop near me that does nothing but screws / nuts / bolts.....
