Just ordered the rear upper chassis plate for the Baja 5b build. This one is going to be really nice.

I have a set of MIP drivers but wanted to try these. Have a set of these but a nut driver set so I figured I would give them a shot.

What brand are they?

My wife got me a set of hobbypark (I think) hex and nut drivers off amazon a few years ago. I never used them. Just said thanks and put them in a drawer. lol!

Not sure honestly. Most of the time you get what you pay for but we will see if that's the case. They were cheap so I won't be out much of they are crap.
EDIT: just checked, they are HRB amazon specials.

So over the last week I have got my Hot Bodies Lightning 2 RR out and running again, it is about 15yrs old but after replacing the standard seals, fuel line etc it started like a treat. Have also upgraded the receiver battery, air filter and front suspension :) looking at a new 2.4g receiver now

Looks like I got myself on the pre order list for the white n gray Losi Mint 400 Baja Rey

Nice looking truck. But it looks like it rides a bit low to me.
 
we'll see how it sets after I get it out of the box... I won it in a online raffle. might make some mad but I might even play with it. LOL It's 1 of 250 in that color combo
.
Oh cool. Congrsts.
 
Total waste of money. Won’t crawl at all.

Garbage disposal just started leaking and popped the breaker.

I rebuilt the entire house five years ago and it is the only thing I left because it was new.
O well.
Too wet to crawl outside tomorrow anyhow.

Sucks, but know how that goes.
 
Question real quick. Anybody running carbon fiber frame rails on their scx24?. How significant of a weight reduction is it? Can't be much I wouldn't reckon? I got something in the works I'll give updates on Slimer shortly I hope.🤘

I got a set upstairs new in the package. I can weigh them for you if you want.
 
I have a set of CF rails that we will be installing on one of our trucks soon. Not sure if there is going to be much of a weight difference, but they will be a lot stronger.
