I'm trying to retrofit some Traxxas ones for the time being (I know... I know).

I ended up giving the guy all 6 of them so I don't have any to measure.

Thanks!

If you have an 8ight, just make them 8ight% smaller!

Thanks for the tip... I don't have an 8ight...

The Jato turnbuckles can be used however the pillow balls are a little too small to accept the stock screws.

I ended up just finishing the conversion, gluing some wheels/tires, modifying some Revo 17mm hexes to fit, etc... and now just wait for the proper turnbuckles to arrive.

Until then I'm going to get some wheel time on the SC8-E (wow, what a blast!), and the LST-E.

Yeah, but i have to pay F***ing 70$ in tax:@ F***ing denmark:@:@

[Nard Cox]

Same here bro. It's not fair that everything is just 50% of the price we have to pay over here...

[Moller123456 !]

no and the people who get it so cheap complains about the price....
Lucky americans:(

Got the conversion complete as well as some new wheels/tires. I wanted black wheels but everything was out of stock so I decided to get some JConcepts Rulux and mount Pro-Line Badlands on them.

I was going to dye the wheels but I was having a heck of a time finding the RIT dye. According to the 2 Wal-Mart's I went to, they discontinued carrying the dye. I ended up going to a Fabricland and they had none either, but they had a "comparable" product... Unfortunately the nylon wheel wouldn't accept the colour. As soon as you picked up the wheel, the liquid/dye would just bead off. I gave up and said it was good enough how it is (for now).

I can't wait for things to dry up here (rain/snow the last week) and get some wheel time on this thing!

Who's complaing now? I was/am still impressed with Mikes conversion kit.

I had a hard time finding the dye at Walmart myself. I figured it would be in their arts and crafts area, but they pretty much did away with all that stuff. I did finally find the dye in the laundry detergent isle, but I walked past it about 3 times before I seen it.

Yeah, I used to pick it up in the detergent isle, but the first store was sold out and the second store had no rack up and said WalMart has discontinued carrying it...

Oh well.

Doesent matter!! Fill it up with 500k, and have fun!!!!!

Don't want a CD, want to replace it with an Ofna solid-drive.

The only Ofna solid-drive I know of is the one that comes in the Ultra GTP. It's uses a 51T mod 1.0 setup, so the diameter is far too big (53mm) compared to Mike's 52T 32p spur (42.86mm). The cheapest way to make a sold drive would be to use JBWeld or some very thick substance in the diff to lock it. Of course, it weighs more than a simpler solid setup.
