Hi, some of you may know me from Mini-Z Racer or TinyRC. Name's Mike from Richmond, Virginia. I am 32 years too old.
I currently have a REVO, Mini Quake, and M18.
I have just recently started considering the purchase of a Half-8, so if anyone want to suggest some first hopups, etc, be my guest.
Mike

Yeah, I hav been doing that, I was just looking for some quick input on the things that are a must have out of the box. I know about the United RC batteries, lube diffs., and a motor, but is there anything else?

seaweed nibbles?.... hmm I haven't tried that yet
anyway
Hop-ups list:
Bearings
Shocks
Motor
Batteries
Lube for diffs (until the ball diffs come out)
(these can all be done w/o changing your electronics... but if you go brushless, the you have to change everything)
Hop-ups if you hard on your stuff:
Shock towers (Alloy of CF)
Turnbuckles (more adjust ability)
front knuckles
slipper pads (if you are still slipping your diff at full tight)
alloy diff outdrives (atomic 8-pack...until the ball diffs come out)
Feel free to chime in....

I will be getting one, the more I read this forum the more I get excited. I just spent a lot of money on my M18 and 1:1 ride, so it might be a couple of weeks. That and I want to do my homework before jumping in.
BitHed, I must say, I have missed reading your wacky posts on the various forumns, they always bring a smile to my face no matter what.

OK, I got my car today, and just remembered that I should tighten the slipper and lube the diffs. I have read thru many posts concerning the diff lube, but still a little unsure which one I should be using as far as weight/brand. Can someone reccomend the lube until I can pick up the ball diffs.?
Thanks
