Drink the beer not the oil. 🤣
Pretty easy to do shocks. Expect to spill oil somewhere. Be patient working the air out.

Don’t get that 30wt in your beer! Best advice I can offer.

Well guys it been a week. I spent a few minutes on my RC lighted whips and committed to a mounting location. The battery tray in front of the spare tires is what I decided to go with

 

[SpeedBuggy]

I have the 2 lights setting up now. I put 5 minute epoxy on the bottom half. When it dried I filled the second half with shoe goo so there would be some flexibility. I sure hope this works as I invested (wasted as my wife would say) $50 into the whips for a one time application.

Wife’s out of town for girls weekend. She always thinks I’m out f***ing around. And I’m in the garage maxxing out the suspension on my RC truck.

Looks pretty good. It will sit down about another 1.5 in.

Whips are in and working.

I don’t believe that’s a Traxxas. Who makes it?

How did you get the hole in your transmission and is the mount broken?

The last plastic piece.

How did you get the hole in your transmission and is the mount broken?

It is the pinion cover. When I put the 31 tooth gear in the screw wasn’t tight and the gear slipped over and chewed up the cover. The trans has screws around the base and it’s a small cover that is damaged. The motor mount is the blue bar. It has a heat sink and another screw under the cover that has a hole in it and screws to the motor.

Here’s a picture you can see it better. I don’t have one with the cover off

And she’s back together. Got lucky and had the red steering arms I ordered weeks ago in the mail when I got home from work today.

So a little epoxy and you're good as new?
