    If there's anything life needs MORE of, it's waffles....literal ones, lol. Oh, also, don't trust those regular-grade bearings in the motor for too long, motor bearings are a higher grade, typically, but you probably know. Really liking your eBay course...starting to see some profits.

      @MAD GRUMPYMAN I'm sorry if I sounded like that, I was agreeing with you. Isn't it sad how name brand items are made in China with all the cost-cutting that comes with it, while still charging name-brand prices? At least 10+ years ago, the Chinese stuff was cheap.

    Found your channel after being out of the RC works for about 20 years. My 3 year old just got his first basic RC plane and I started to get the itch to buy another RC car after my last one (Yokomo YR-4). Stumbled across your channel and subscribed instantly. Of my 100+ subscriptions you’re already the one I look forward to most. This channel is simply CZcams done right. Well done and thanks! 👍

    Hey buddy great videos, keep em rolling! , I might have a better idea then rebuilding the bearings . I take a blow dryer and fast dry it after a water run. It's not perfect but it does help prolong the bearings. Also oil filled bearings help repel the water a good bit as well.

    Kev, I have upgraded my HBX Devastator wheels and tyres with the ones that go on the FTX Outback mini v2.0 and it now climbs up some crazy angles. It does make it look like one of those mud bog trucks you see Americans driving but the fact it now crawls much better and can climb steeper angles is just wicked. I would love to hear what you think of the upgrade and when the new shocks I've ordered for it arrive I'll post a picture on your facebook page.

I'm not sure if it's available directly in the UK, but you should try to find some for soaking small rusty stuff more thoroughly. I get it here at a place called harbor freight tools, but try online it would be worth it to you! Its environmentally friendly, skin friendly and not a harsh acid... try it !!
