My RC8 and B44

[pipeous]

I am Barry Wilson ;) so ya guess I know him.

the shims are used inside the dif. the stock shimming the gears are quite loose. I relied on reading it in the rctech thread and a member there suggested it to me because he chewed up gears. the kit comes with spares anyway so I opened the difs when changing the spur back to the stock one and shimmed behind the small gears to tighten things. so far so good and I have chewed a few nubs off my crime fighters allready from digging trenches so I have put some good shock on the difs. even this afternoon running on pavement outside the hobby shop to show a few customers (I was behind the counter babbling and ended up selling a helicopter today too.... oh you'll have to pay her, I don't actually work here)

got a couple converts out of that session ordering their conversion kits now.... Mike you have some more BC customers, and most of the guys are heading down the street to go get capacitors for their escs now too. I can't tell you how impressed I am with adding the caps to keep the esc cool. I ran hard for 15 mins and let everyone check the motor temps and esc. it was about 90 degrees. I've learned a lot of cool things from this forum and from the thread on rctech, but I will never use a fan again I'll tell ya. Adding caps to my Sidewinder now too. it gets hotter than my Mamba does

That's pretty funny. I can't tell you how many RC vehicles/parts I've sold as a customer in our LHS. I'll overhear one of the employees giving insufficient/bad information to a customer, and I'll just jump in and help them out. I told them that they're going to have to start paying me one of these days. They love it when I do that.

I do the same thing at my LHS and must get a discount to near cost! I have sold alot of stuff, and have completely setup their lipo and charger inventory. I also have made countless adapters and must have soldered at least 100 traxxas connectors since they came out. They keep me busy when I go in there, that is for sure. No commision yet, but the discount is well worth it. I get the same discount as the techs!
