What did you do to you SCX-10 today?

[cotyhamlett]

I was being rebellious today at Cowles Mtn.

I seen the sign, took the picture and left.
I never knew they had these signs before I got a G6.

After thinking about it for months, I fast backed the cage. I LOVE it. Spare is mocked up with a zip tie until I figure out how I want to do it. Next I probably will re-spray the body from the outside this time. The pearl white is flaking really bad.

Shit that sucks!!! A few of us in our group recently got thrown out of a county park...and I didn't see one sign anywhere!! The damn fun police can suck it!!

I went somewhere else to play.

I sure do enjoy the after rain. Not very many creeks, (ditches with cool rocks with the rain overflow) where I live.

I scored a new power wagon body & truggy cage for my daughters honcho. David at SMF did an awesome job on the cage!

Ordered a set of ar60 axles. Then decided I'd have myself a good Christmas and ordered an AK47.

 

[Kauasy]

Ordered a set of vanquish method 1.9s and hubs.

How does one treat a set of tires to soften them up?

Either with Simple Green or WD40...your choice.

 

[Johnnysplits]

Seriously debating about getting a rubicon body.

Body has been purchased!!

 

[joe122]

Really Like SMF's work....nice looking truck!

Spray it on and rub it in?

 

[Johnnysplits]

Yeah just spray it on or brush it on and let it soak at least 30 minutes prior to running it.

 

[cotyhamlett]

Won't that eventually ruin the tires?

 

[Kesuai]

No faster really than they wear anyway. I used to do this to my racers all the time when tracks first really started seeing a "blue groove." (Yes I've been driving rc a long time.) I hadn't even thought of spraying my scaler tires before but I can see how it would really help with getting up rock faces in the dry season. Winter wet and muck my tires work GREAT as it is and I don't see a need. To be honest scale tires wear so much slower than racers, you may not even notice a difference.

I was reading something awhile back. It made me think about using it on my tires but I was iffy until I seen it on here. But it was saying that your tires will Crack or melt the rubber or something. I don't remember too clearly but it was on a vintage tamiya forum here on Tapatalk. Don't get me wrong. . . I'm gonna do it. Just curious to know if my tires will be cracking on the sidewalls and such.

 

[Kesuai]

Vintage tamiya tires are a very different compound than today's tires. Shouldn't be a problem.

Thank you Johnnysplits and Kesuai. I will try that out when I get home. I don't even think I have wd40. I wish I had more money. Damn Fords!

 

[Onefast8]

Liquid wrench works the best to be honest. Worked great on my old hard tires.

 

[Kesuai]

I used to use wd40 or liquid wrench before simple green existed. I like simple green better. Just a preference.
