I found this interesting Hydrosteer setup on eBay. I wouldn't buy it because the pivot poins look like they will get loose quickly.

Don't want to repaint. For example, I added some silver touches to the fuel cell. I accidentally got some silver on the black parts. I just want to remove small blotches of paint. If I start painting the black then I'm going to get black on silver and it'll be a neverending process to repaint over my mistakes.

Try gently scraping it off with your finger nail or a credit card, it likely didnt bond that strong if you didnt sand it. You could also test the lacquer thinner on something like the inside of the fuel cell. The fuel cell is definitely a different type of plastic from the ABS body.

Or weather it and make it look scratched. If you're good at never ending mistakes you should be able to nail it

Whelp, my RTR Optic shocks started leaking on me while I was working on the rig. I have not driven it yet, or fiddled with the shocks at all.

Just ordered TRX-4 take-offs from eBay, $55.99 for 4 shipped.

Yeah its a bummer they haven't been able to make a proper shock yet. I dont even bother installing them anymore, I just gave some away last week.

I'm trying out some Team KNK Boss shocks. Two of them had some seeping but not the drips that VP shocks can have. I had to tighten up the screws holding the rod ends on the caps as they dont have a cap seal/diaphragm. They still may be seeping a bit but I havent cleaned all of the old oil off yet so I'm not sure. Over all they seem decent enough to run.

Those look nice, but I bought the Traxxas ones because I already knew they perform well, and they were priced VERY nicely! Also ordered 92mm Redcat Racing aluminum chassis braces after measuring the radiator - going to use one of them to replace it. They're on close-out from Redcats website - still had to pay some shipping, but I got a pack of 4 for less than $11.

(I'll likely paint it some other color, since it will clash with my desert rock crawler khaki panels!)
