Hi Guys,

Im new to all this r/c car stuff I was wondering if i could get some general information and tips for a newbie like me. I know alot of this stuff is covered randomly in alot of the other posts, but for some it may be daunting and time consuming to sift thru countless posts til 4AM in the morning *cough* (*looks around* :rolleyes: ) hehe.. I will also try to complie stuff from all the other posts

Basically I'm going to compile a list of items to have in a HalfEight racer's "toolbox" as well as any tips to get started on the right track. Pretty much anything you use on a daily basis to keep your half8 running. I'll c0ompile all your responses into this post here and hopefully can be of use to all Half8 drivers. Thanks in Advance!!

Tips & Suggestions such as:

* Threadlocking Compound
* Motor/General Cleaning Supplies
* Differential Grease
* Tools (ie. screwdrivers that work the best/socket driver sizes.. etc)
* Electronis Upgrades? (Esc/Receiver/Batteries/Wires/Chargers)
* Motor Upgrades? (Brushed/Brushless)
* Upgrade Parts (3racing,Atomic... etc... experiences?)
* Tuning (how to fine tune ur Half8)
* Homegrown Modifications ( aka. BitHex mod, or GlueTheSlipper mod haha)
* Parts that commonly wear out quick and/or break (ie. Front Knuckle stripping)

You get the point by now, i'd think this can turn into something of use...
