RC batteries

This battery came with my new remote control truck. I would like to get more of them & I can’t find one with the 2 different connectors it comes with. One charges & the other connects to the truck.

Just got my JJRC 8801pro. Now what?

I bought 2 from China & had them shipped to California. My 35 year old son is warning me about the lithium-ion battery. Apparently they need to be treated just like the Lipo? What charging set up does everyone have for 2.4 lithium-ion?

Am I doing it wrong??

I’m building an amt ‘68 Camaro Z28. I’m about halfway through and I’m having a hella hard time with this glue. I washed and primed all the parts while still on the sprue. I followed a video on YouTube. The directions that came in the box are far from helpful so YouTube has been my best friend. I sanded & washed all contact points & followed the directions on the bottle. I applied glue on both surfaces to be glued, waited for 20 seconds then pushed surfaces together and held for an additional 20 seconds. And I swear to Gawd… it takes 3 attempts to get these pieces to stick together. I’ve reached my frustration limit 😑 Am I doing it wrong or is this glue just crap? Please help. This is supposed to be relaxing lol

Shiny hundo Pidgey

What do I do with THIS guy. My main goal is Raids & PVP battles. Not much into collecting. Is it worth evolving & powering up? Or would it be a waste of stardust??

JJRC budget crawler

6 months ago I got myself a Traxxas 1/16 MERV. A little over $200 brand new in box. I had a lot of fun upgrading but damn, spent much more money than I wanted to. Now I want a crawler but I want to keep it under $100. I don’t need a big brand truck but I do want something fun AND I can still get parts for. Building/fixing/upgrading is the funnest part of this hobby. I came across this JJRC 0881pro that looked pretty impressive. Does anyone have any experience with these guys? Or any other brand that’s budget friendly but super fun?? And upgradeable.

Black sharpie marker for body detail

I’m painting my new baja bug body. I started off on the spoiler for practice. I’ve got silver lightening bolts with pearl white backing. I sprayed the silver already and put one scratch coat of proline pearl white. Now that the 1st scratch coat is dry I noticed there isn’t much of a defined line between colors & I want to use a black sharpie to outline the bolts. Will this cause some kind of a reaction with the paint? I want to finish with the pearl white then silver over the whole inside body to make the pearl pop. I’m hoping I can paint over the sharpie marker without any issues. Any experiences doing this? I’ve looked at tons of YouTube & Google searches to no avail. Thanks for any help.

Front struts for 2012 Odyssey touring edition

Hey everyone. I’m trying to find front strut assemblies for my van. The prices are all over the place. The dealer wants over $1000 for both so I’m trying to find KYB instead. I can’t find any that match my VIN. Only VIN CB088499. They’re only $200 a piece but I’m worried because my VIN is different. I found Monroe & they are $600 for the pair. Which is like whaaaat?!!? Prices for car parts are outrageous these days. Thanks for any help

Does this sound right??

I had to pull my motor to install my new heat sink. For the life of me I can’t remember what this sounded like before. But it kinda sounds like something is grinding in there. If this is what normally sounds like, I guess it’ll be fine. Opinions??

Baja body NO masking stickers

Just received my clear baja body for my MERV but it didn’t come with the window masking stickers. I’ve got my blue masking tape. Trying to figure out how to trace the windows. Does anyone have any tips?

Stampede 4WD w/brushed motor

I found a used 1:10 4WD Stampede. It’s one that has been discontinued since 2023. It doesn’t come with battery or charger. It’s model# 67054-1. Is it really worth almost $300 used?? I want the brushed motor that comes with it. Brushed motors & NiHM are cheaper to replace when needed. I’m spending too much already with my 1:16 MERV. It’s just so fun!!! lol

On another note, how much of a hassle is it to change over to a brushed motor from a brushless system? I might just buy the new Stampede and convert if possible.

Thanks guys!

How old is this??

A friend of mine is trying to push it on me. Would I still be able to find parts?? Would it be a waste of $150?
