Ultimate 1/6 Nylint mod guide 2.0

I have been checking on things to keep it updated. I really haven't seen much worth putting in there. It seems to be the same old stuff just redone. And alot of the new so called Mods are just Crap. Sorry.......The basic Mod's that everyone should do if they don't go the Stick route is still the same. Tummy Tuck, Savage Shocks, Shave rear axle, F&F Battery, Lexan Body, and maybe some XL Moabs. Which I don't think will help unless to stick it to save the weight. Other then that there really isn't much to do. Sides Nylints are being trashed faster then anyone can make them. If they even make them anymore. Sorry. Nylints are going Bye Bye.....:(
 
Modifying the belt pulleys

A common problem with the plastic drive pulleys is that they are two pieces that simply have a peened via heat way of joining the two halves together. After a time they start to seperate which lends itself to making for not only an unstable component, but as they seperate from the play in the three points where they are joined together the pulley actually becomes a "smaller" diameter and leads to the belt(s) slipping here is a fix with pix.................

!. Drill out the plastic attachment points one at a time with a 1/8th inch drill.
2. After drilling out just ONE.........insert a 1/8th inch X 1/4 inch long aluminum rivet with a backing washer. Then move on to the next one and repeat...........
3. What ever excess of the rivet that is remaining grind off so it will no impede the pulley from spinning unobstructed.

4. Done..................

Hope this is helpful to others...............Kerry
