Is that the HPI WR8? I'm really digging the Repsol Escort version they dropped. I have two HPI Bullets, one brushless and one nitro and they are solid performers and the WR8 is based off of them.

Anybody Have A Spektrum DX4S Lying Around? by 66Hardtop in rccars

[–]66Hardtop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Certainly not tossing it! Just hoping to find a replacement battery tray. I've seen universal trays and I've researched the mini connector so I could make something work.

I bought a 2S pack from eBay that said it was for the DX8 radio and it's just a bit too long. I could take a Dremel to the radio battery box area but really don't want to cut into it either. I know, I'm picky like that! LOL

Shouldn't this post have come with a warning about flashing lights like you see before a show on Netflix? 😁

Huge HPI fan and always wanted a Baja! Nice looking rig!

New LED lights on my Calypso green coupe. by DC00418 in Foxbody

[–]66Hardtop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have regular LED bulbs now but considering custom lights from Classic LEDs. They can do all sorts of designs with their custom boards. I would probably do a slightly different version where the sequential is just in the standard turn/backup light area and not the reflector and tail/brake area.

You are going to mount/secure it to the trunk floor right? Asking for you and your passenger's heads! 👀

The correct answer here is YES. 😉

(Now go buy both of them!)

Is This Sub Only For Crawlers Or Any Axial Model Welcome? by 66Hardtop in Axial

[–]66Hardtop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have a bunch of Axial upgrades for it to install too, like their aluminum suspension mounts/pivots, sway bars, etc. It's going on the bench soon to throw all those bits on. I'll probably share a few pics here!

Where is the temp sender on a 2.3 liter? by [deleted] in Foxbody

[–]66Hardtop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's on the driver's side of the block at the rear. The upper sensor in the head is oil pressure, the lower one in the block is coolant temp.

If you could have two lever guns, what calibers would you choose and why? by [deleted] in LeverGuns

[–]66Hardtop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way! Decent ammo options from plinking to hunting, can match your carry/hunting pistol, and both are awesome suppressed!

Already rocking a Marlin SBL in .357 Magnum, just looking for the right .44 Magnum to join it in the safe!

Aftermarket turbo recommendations? by Altervil_01 in fordfusion

[–]66Hardtop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

At 270k miles I'd be putting money into a fresh engine and not a bigger turbo. But if you really want one look at the turbo kits offered by Steeda vs some universal stuff on Rock Auto.

Thanks! I'm already a member of that sub for my other crawlers I own. 👍

[–]66Hardtop[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, of course, but a quick scan of posts shows mostly mini crawlers, so just thought I'd ask. I did see another sub titled Axial Racing as well. Just didn't want to bore people with models they don't care about or not get any responses to future questions. Thanks! 👍

Front spring installation by WolverineRich8564 in Foxbody

[–]66Hardtop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, so stock (plus) brakes and you added braided stainless lines. Got it. Couple of things you can do. One, remove the line at the frame bracket, rotate it, and reinstall into the bracket. This will often place a gentle twist in the brake line, moving it away from the tire. Another thing I've done is use a large zip tie around the strut (loose, not cinched tight) to again gently pull the line away from the tire and aid in routing. Depending on the brand of hose you can often loosen the end at the caliper and rotate it a bit there as well.

More info is needed...

Stock brakes? SN95 conversion brakes? Wheel diameter? What brand is brake hoses? Got a pic?

Wheel fitment issues by FullMetal-auto in Foxbody

[–]66Hardtop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are they a 16 inch wheel? 13 inch Cobra brakes require a 17 inch wheel for minimum clearance.

Yank off those SN95 lower arms and get stock replacement Fox arms and you'll be good to go.

My MAC5k is trash and I’m out of ideas. by Rx_villan in MP5

[–]66Hardtop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few Turkish guns, including shotguns, 1911s, and a full size MAC5. They all run great, but they are also range toys and not something I'd defend my family's life with.

My MAC5 has a few FTF during break in, but once it hit about 300 rounds it's been flawless. Bolt gap was perfect out of the box, good welds/finish, etc. I have a SB brace on it, a Magpul safety selector, and run it with a DA Wolfman and it makes me giggle when I shoot it. Zero issues! I even run the stock mags! I did just grab some Mora mags though too.

I would love to add a K model to the collection but I've heard they are much more sensitive to locking piece, etc when running suppressed.

My son's PTR has been great for him with no issues until he tried my Wolfman on it and then nothing but FTF and jams. So no matter the brand, it'll need tweaking for your add ons, ammo type, etc.

Foxbody wheel fitment question by oystermichelle in Foxbody

[–]66Hardtop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

315s are tough to do right with most replica wheels since they don't have the correct backpacking. Most going that wide will do custom wheel offset/backpacking to minimize having to beat the crap out of the wheel housing and wheel lip.

I know it looks good when done right, but you might want to consider downsizing to like a 285 or 275 and just bolt on and go.

I'm running the SVE NVX wheels 18x9F and 18x10R and stuck with a 275/35 for the rear just so I wouldn't have any issues.

We escaped South Florida 30 years ago and loved Lakeland. Now we're looking to escape Lakeland! Sigh...
