  • Hey friends! The HPI 1/8th Scale Flux Subaru Impreza monster Rally Car is getting a little long deserved TLC. Today we have a few upgrade aluminium parts to install. I'll walk the uninitiated through it. Also, I saw that I had broken an Axle pin. These were heavily threadlocked in from the factory, which also glued in the axle stubs to the knuckles and bearings... OH MY!
    So with a little patience and love of the hobby of course, I actually made an axle pin from an old alan wrench. Check it out!
    If you read this far and are not already subbed, please go for it as it helps me grow and reach more people. I make this content for fun so no biggie either way.
    Like sub share and please comment!
    Stay good and well out there!

    Nope, don't know a better way of detaching the Devil's Clips!!! I like Damian's idea though! But I reckon your Allen pin will hold! Nice upgrades dude! Ready to rock and roll! Cheers! 😎👌👍

      Hey thanks! Yeah the foamies help with the body rattle and wear. I am hoping these upgrades won't push stresses elsewhere. Cheers

    With the eclip as it was, place the Tamiya spanner over the top and push to the side. 👍🏻

    Ah ha Mauzy, those pesky e clips! 😂😊😂 I’ve got one of those Tamiya e clip tools that came with my Scania R620 semi, but to be honest, even that tool wasn’t as effective as lining them up using a pair of long nose pliers 😊😉😊 and yep, when getting the little blighters back on, you always have one fly across the room 😂😂😂I like the pin fix using a spare hex Allen key shaft, nifty 😊😊best wishes 😊

      Alas no easy solution there. Yes several flying devil clips later… Cheers mate!

    pour les e clip ya plein de pinces faites pour, ou alternativement prendre un tournevis plat et le rentrer dans le trou et pousser vers l'exterieur.

    • @MauzyrockRC
      @MauzyrockRC  Před 7 měsíci

      Ah ok merci. Je chercherai des pinces précisément pour ça.. 👍

    Tiny flat head screw driver to pop off the C-clips

      I have to revisit that technique as it did not work for me previously. Thanks

    Hello friend! Thank you for this video. I need your help, I have a Ford Puma WRC from Cen (yes, the one everyone is talking about) and I need to switch to aluminum parts, exactly the ones you just changed in this video. I'm not sure what those parts are called, the ones that control the steering. Can you help me find these aluminum parts for the Ford?
    Thank you very much (I'm just starting in RC).

      Here is the Vid czcams.com/video/10YIQ4LThEw/video.htmlsi=hCKPUdss6wFpG9pn
      The steering assemble is what you'll need. The company is called "Hobby Details". Just look them up and look for CEN 1/10th parts
