The "What did you buy today?" thread...

[Chubaka]

Umm yer. I can't even really explain that piece. Guess I was blinded by the 50% off sale . Just throwing traxxas parts in the cart, willy-nilly.

After doing some research:
It's for the models Rustler, Stampede; Bandit originally without a slipper clutch. Which I don't have. It's for direct drive. Eliminates the slipper. The slipper screws to it. No slippy slip.

Like this I think:

Oops. Oh well. Good thing it was cheap

Good pickup you eagle eyed, hairy beast.

That should fit your spur. Just take the red or black pegs out.

To eliminate the slipper?

 

[Chubaka]

To eliminate the slipper?

Si.

 

[Warby]

Si.

Hmm. Maybe on the second one. Not my original one I'm restoring.

I'm going to fully restore my original Nitro sport and build a second basher with the spare parts. But with no ezi start. Simpler.

I will do a build thread. Although, it may highlight what little I know about Traxxas and nitros

Going to the capital city today. May call into the LHS too . I don't go to hobby shops often as I don't have a local. I need to get some nitro fuel at the least. They don't ship it anymore. Apparently posting nitro fuel is hazardous

nothing crazy this week, i have the boom on the way and am going to use one of the stock servos (if i have any left) so i ordered a spool and wire for it, as well as some hyderodip activator, I'm gonna try hydrodipping the anvil roof, not sure how its gonna turn out but I'm watching a LOT of videos about it and feel like i got this, I'm just confused on when to spray my paints vs when to apply the dip. paint first then dip then backer? or dip first then paint then backer? i am 100000% positive the backer goes on last!
see I'm 1/3 of the way done already!

I know. I need another RC like I need a second head growing out of my ass. But the Bandit drag chassis that has been in my wishlist for a couple years or so was 50% off. So I grabbed that and the rest of the needed parts for the Tekno SCT410 2.0 build.

Also grabbed a BOATLOAD of screws from Tony's Screws. Enough to build the Tekno and a set for the Losi XXX-SCT.

Left the hobby shop with this stuff. Back playing with nitro again.

I absolutely LOVE your resto builds.

I absolutely LOVE your resto builds.

Thanks. I should start the thread soon I guess.

Thanks. I should start the thread soon I guess.

I got a lot of pics to post for the Tekno build thread, but it's going to be a bit before I start on the actual build. I am just tossing some of the assemblies together at the moment. I'm going to get the links done today. I'm just reading through the rest of the manual now.

You didn't hold back did you. Straight into it. Good for you.

No, I didn't. I tried to wait, but it kept calling me from the RC dungeon.

Ohhhhh a BIG bottle of pink poison!!!
I'm IN!!!

It's a Sledge thing.
My Treal bell crank seized up (yet again) and took out my servo.
1 Reefs 500 Raw gear set.
1 Reefs solid axle servo mounted servo saver. Maybe 2 servo savers will be better than 1?

Can you diagnose the problem with the Treal bellcrank? What is causing the issue?

I had an issue with the Treal hex extensions for the SCX24 and I contacted them explaining what was wrong with their parts. A lady named Wendy replied to me, spoke nearly perfect English, and said she would pass that info along to the engineers and get me a replacement. Sure enough, they fixed the issue and sent me a set that had the dimension of the feature shortened to the exact dimension I gave them. I was highly impressed.

Traxxas wiring bits for the Corvair lights and a few lights as well. Threw in extra side view mirrors for the Blazer too, cuz I broke those day 1

Ordering some door handles for it now too.
