I run a cr01 axled rig (that is a bout all that is left of the original rig), an ax10 SSS and a custom chassis ax10. Love crawling, but love fixing/making stuff for my rigs just as much Wish there was a few blokes in my town. The nearest comps are 3 hours away:?.

Cielo: I am pretty sure I have seen plasti dip at Repco or autopro. For marine grease try your local boating store prehaps. That said if it is a BCF I don't think they have it. Liquid electrical tape may be able to replace the plasti dip if you can't find it though. It is basically insulation in a tube or bottle.

thx mate, i'll try to look around and keep u guys posted for info.
its hard to find someone near me as well to have fun offroading. i am converting my AX10 back to proper offroader, not rock crawler. well, will look like a bit bigger than tamiya ones(tundra for eg).

actually, the marine grease is not only greasing the inside gearing of the servo. it is to seal the rounded gap that connects to ur servo horn. dont know if thats actually needed to make it really waterproof.

I know it is a bit of a far call, but does anyone know if there are going to be any comps around Rockhampton in the school holidays?

Hey guys I'm from Rockhampton,QLD. I currently run a converted wheely king as a trail truck and a losi comp crawler.

A few of us here are trying to organise a regular comp, we have got a bit of interest from thecrawlpit but are looking for more crawlers, we have a great spot for it. To check it out go to thecrawlpit and check out the post "'crawl at first turkey'' in the socail wheeling section.

Here's a link .

Cheers

Default Post count and regional forums

Just re-read the rules and found that
- Can't sell (or view to buy) in the classifieds until your 30/30 (days/posts)
- Regional posts do not count towards your OA post count.

Therefore, posting in the regional forum of Australia, where we do most of our work, will not get us into the sale/classified forums.

Yes I know I could buy a star, but why should we needto pay for the privelidge to spend money.

I don't post for the sake of posting, only when I've got something to say.
maybe I should complement more mainland US guys on how shiny their wheels are?
