I lost drive in the same back rear wheel and figured I stripped the hex again, I wasn't worried because my aluminum ones should be here any day now, but then I noticed I lost this little piece (name?) Is there any alternative to buying a new one from an RC company or can I just buy metal bar in the same diameter?

Ugh, I love the functional headlocks, even though they should have come with metal ones, but damn taking out 48 screws is serious pain
First things first, gotta cut some foam :roll:
Marked up and ready to go

The first cuts were not the best looking by far

halfway there…

The cuts got better and better, here's the last one "thumbsup"

I really have no advice other than use a really sharp blade get a technique down then stick with it for consistency

The tire sits a little bit out of the lip but the ring pulls it down fine as long as you go in a star pattern

Done! :mrgreen:

Mounted and mean looking, can't wait to get her back in the dirt :twisted:



Hardbody work is put off, paint would take forever to dry in these cold temps anyways, plus I think I still want to add more details before painting, not sure what, suggestions are welcome though "thumbsup"
