Where to get antennas
Hi, I am wondering, where can you find 1/5 scale communication antennas? Not for a radio, but for detail. Thanks

RE: Brushed Electric Motor Break-In Guide (Not Just For Heli's)
[quote]ORIGINAL: mrasmm [quote]ORIGINAL: Karter01 Alright thanks for the reply. Why would you go with dry break in? Isn't there more friction? Or am I getting things confused? Thanks again [/quote] Sure, no prob. A wet break in takes all of the oil out of the motor. Most people think that it's carbon dust coming off the commutator. Basically with the small motors that we are talking

RE: Brushed Electric Motor Break-In Guide (Not Just For Heli's)
[quote]ORIGINAL: mrasmm [quote]ORIGINAL: Karter01 Sorry for bringing up an old thread. So, based on the above info, the rubbing alcohol is the best break in procedure? Or is the water? Thanks [/quote] Hey, no prob =) If it applies then it's not old to me. If you want to do a wet break in then alcohol would be a better choice than water because it evaporates more completely than water

RE: my revo jump-movie
I agree with everyone else. Why are you even in RC if your not going to do things right? If you were somebody who had no clue what you were doing and maybe got your truck with no manual or something and didn't know how to break it in, that would be a different story. But not breaking it in and then saying "who cares, my sponsor will buy me a new one" is really bad. The comments on youtube say it all. If I was your (bad) sponsor, I would laugh at you wanting a new motor. [b]EDIT[/b]: Now you have to say you were kidding??? [:D] You had everyone going. lol

Yea, traxxas needs to come out with a nicer radio, not improve on something else like they have been doing lately. Get Something Different! a Spektrum or JR would be nice. Losi has it, why not traxxas?

RE: Maximizer Beadlocks
Well, I just ordered the normal offset wheels with some Badlands! (17mm) I was debating on the 1/2 offset, but it's easier to turn with standard offset. I don't really see the need for 1/2 offset, it being a basher (don't get me wrong, I do like the 1/2 offset). Also ordered the Tekno Conversion with the Mugen 160cc tank! [sm=biggrin.gif] WOOT!

I'm looking for some new wheels for my Revo.

My Revo is mostly a basher. I want a rim that is durable and easy to mount. (hate gluing) What are your guys experience with them? Also, should I get standard offset or 1/2 inch offset? Thanks
