I'm one of those ...

btw: LST cases are made from a quite soft material and are injected, which makes them porous...

Yes those cases are not the best, but they are the only option I know of right now to have an 8th scale drive line in the E-Revo.

You should ask to Mistercrash.

But i think he used something like this

Those could work Molak. The ones I used I found at Tower Hobbies. They are distributed by Dubro. They don't come with metric threads so I got some 4/40 brass inserts which I tapped with M3 threads and some 8/32 inserts which I tapped with M4 threads. A trick I use to screw the inserts in the plastic is to heat them a bit with the flame of a lighter or even a heat gun. I heat them up just enough so they are easier to screw in the plastic. I let it cool and then I can extract the screw that was used to insert the insert.

Otherwise Tony's Screws has 4mm ones. Next time I order from him I was going to pickup a set. He has nice deals on very high quality hardware.

I tried the Tony Screws style inserts and after a couple started twisting in the plastic preventing me from removing the part, I went back to the screw style inserts.

Thanks for the heads up MC! I know what would solve our bulkhead issues.... the FLM combo bulk! Hopefully soon...

I know a guy ovAlmer on a different site that is trying out the Integy Alum. bulkheads. He said that they are working well so far. Would be a first for Integy....

I just got a new TQi receiver to replace my broken origional receiver. The origional one was from about 2 years back.

The problem is that the Traxxas TQ transmitter that used to be easy to bind to the older Traxxas receivers wont bind to the new TQi receiver

I pressed the "set" button and held it while I turned on the trans (and held it down) then I pressed the link button on the TQi receiver, and powered up the receiver (and held the button down). Both lights stay blinking for ever. They never go green and solid.

I tried letting go of the buttons when the lights flashed ............. still nothing
I tried receiver first ................. nothing
I tried transmitter first ............. nothing

anybody else have this problem ............... is it possible that the old 2.4 TQ transmitter wont bind to the new TQi receiver ?

Looks like your old(er) TQ transmitter won't work with the TQi receiver I'm afraid, you're out of luck.
