Screwing is okay with me. I have an electrical screw driver... just hope I will not be screwed by making some silly mistake in upgrading my H8. :o

Don't forget the locktite on metal to metal connections :D It might be a pain but it pays off later when you screws stay in the whole race

If you have some shoe goo, apply a little on the ends of the suspension hinge pins to keep the e clips from falling off. It will get sort of hard and just peels off when you want it too. You can use it on shock nuts too. :cool:

Brother hkopium!!

May I know how you got your stuff from RC-Dragon? I tried to contact him multiple times, but only got one e-mail back with no contact. I want to buy the knuckles as the 3Racing ones aren't available yet.

Thanks!!!!

Brother Crunch, via Ebay, they don't answer email too eagerly. But once you placed an order, that's a different story. ;)

....we have some japan-made knuckles but they are WAY over-priced at 35 bucks :( Blue or titanium and they come with extra kingpin washers, you know, the tiered ones :D

Thanks Bit, 35 bucks!!!!! Hummm.......they better be gold or silver plated instead of blur or Ti colored....hee hee hee

hkopium, thanks, that a weird way of doing business....kinda like show me the $$ and we'll talk.....I rather not buy from them at all then. I'll wait for someone else to launch these....(I know....I'm anal about customer service since I work at this field). :p

...Hey Crunchy...yeah they are nice but its hard t justify that money when 3racing is just a few weeks away...

...BTW Frank callled...understood...will mail you over the weekend...I am in Okinawa from Monday so i will be out of touch for a week...

...Opiuom anyway you could actually WEIGH some of those parts against the stock weights? See what you can do...actually see if there are scales in the kitchen ;) Actually whip something up while you are at it..feeling kinda peckish :D

I will try to find a scale or something... which parts do you want me to weight? THe arms alone? The knuckles? All together?

...just try and get us an idea of the differnce in weight between THEm and stock...and/or if the weight changes the handling...you know...just do us a detailed, complicated 4 page review :)

Hello hkopium!

Just a quick question about your parts from RC-dragon. I just won the auction for 2 sets of knuckles on ebay....he just e-mail me and wanted USD$7 for shipping! Did you pay any S&H fees or did you guys meet up to trade?

I mean USD$7 (HKD$55) for local mailing is alittle ridiculous!

Thanks buddy!
