Shaving the cases?

[J-Money]

I'm looking to shave the cases on my v1 and I was wondering what's the best way to do it dremel with sanding drum or stone? Any one have any tips and pics I don't want to botch it up

Thanks j

Dremel and sanding drum should work fine. A bench mounted belt sander works great and I've always used my pneumatic 90 deg tool with Roloc sanding and 3M discs.

You guys and your fancy tools. Just rub 'em on the sidewalk.

Yeah, I ordered 6 cases and got 4 and a note saying 2 to 4 weeks on the next shipment of back order cases. I guess I got the last 4.

That explains why I could not order them.

I got 3 of em. One looked like they parted a axle for it. Had bearings and assembly marks.

That's fun they might have took one apart to sell the parts off of it. They should do that for my small gears damnit.

Got mine today.

I would love to get the mt cases but only one place cares them right? and sold out and I'm sure they are going to be hard to come by now a days since they cost 3.50

I saw total-hobby has them. If you google madtorque spare parts it will show every site that carries mad torque shit. I'll look again right now and report back.

Total hobbies is the same as nitrorcx, try to add something to your cart and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Okay, bummer. what about hobbypartz.com? I saw ckrc has exceed trucks on their site. Maybe they got them. I'm in no rush to get the gears, even though that would be one thing off the check list. Still finishing up some parts I'm making.

Yea I guess the only place you can get them is nitrorcx so I guess wait maybe someone will buy a lot of them and sell them

If there was enough interest I'd bet someone could contact to supplier and get a larger shipment of mad torque parts. Plastic gears, small gears, cases, etc.
