Blue is all I use on screws. I do nut the steering tie rod screws though. If you have nylok nuts you should be fine without loktite.

I think I got something here. These fit the short side and will need to made longer for the long side. I scored them for $20 out of the bargin bin at lhs.
In test fitting these I found that the long shat in my axle is twisted about a qaurter of a turn. Should I worry about this?
Thanks

So i was out crawling abit today and broke stuff. I will post a few pics if I have time tonight.
I've run twin/mad dog bones that have twisted for a long time with no troubles, they may never break or they could keep twisting and snap. I had one twist nearly a full turn and it still ran fine. It's funny what beefcake parts will withstand. Smaller axles just bust. :ror:

I dont have a pic yet but I will explain. I had a small rollover, ok I went off about a 6' cliff. I yanked the screw out of one of the chassis cross members. I also ripped the drive shaft off the axle/pinion. The set screw/pin thingie ripped through the plastic of the revo shaft.
LOL I have no idea how it happend.

Do any of you have a mad force body? Im trying to find the wheel base of it.. I have just decided as a winter project Im going to build a chassis and tube frame and go giant scaler TTC style. Thanks to all of you here I know that I can actualy get enough help and input on a build that I think I can pull it off.. Its not goin to happen as quick as creapy crawler since all the cash I had for that was saved for a wraith..and well I didnt get a wraith but I really cant bitch about that. lol
Thanks
I have to say that tf/mf group here is like actual friends instead of just people and would just like to say thanks for making me feel part of your group.

Here is one idea I have for a winter build.
These jeeps have been over used but I have it. Im actualy looking for some different so if you have any ideas or bodies that you think would be cool, let me see it. I wanted to be at about 16 1/2 to 17 1/2" wheel base. Im going to go see how big the 5t body is today and I was also thinking the losi 5ive t body would be cool since its a muti piece body so it could be kinda cool. Like I said I was to go big and different so help get some good ideas.
thanks

I'm assuming a TF body is the same as a MF, but TF is about 12"
Sounds like a sweet project. Not sure how that jeep will work out with a 16-17" WB, though. I think you need a bigger body. I've got a similar build planned using a 1/6 F350, TF axles and rok lox.
Whatever you build, we'll be there to help (maybe heckle too"thumbsup")

I counted my change out to get that scorpion body.. Its gone.. I hate when that happens. 
I guess I will have to find something else to get. Im thinking Im going to start looking at the trift stores around here. Maybe something cool will turn up.

Oh.....I ended up buying it..........sorry
I didnt think you were gonna get it
After seeing joeyf's 1/6th scale jeep
I always wanted a "Nylint"
After seeing a "Scorpion"...WOW
Again I thought you couldnt get it so I bought it...........
I may just be using it for Moc-up so it might still get in your hands
Regards Rick
