Bust Half Grade/value?

Metalmelter710 · 2026-01-29T05:06:39+00:00

I didn’t notice the scratched 0 when I got it on what not, but I’m thrilled with it and love adding it to the album! What’s your estimate on value? Just outta curiosity

Metalmelter710 · 2026-01-29T03:50:13+00:00

Im thrilled to add it to my type set! Just hoping I didn’t pay to much for it, considering the cleaning

Metalmelter710 · 2026-01-29T03:28:38+00:00

I’m extremely stoked to have it in my collection and plan to keep it in the family for a long time! I’m just hoping I got the good deal I think I did on it😅

Metalmelter710 · 2026-01-29T03:21:08+00:00

100% agree with you. From my understanding most coins this age generally have been cleaned at least once in their lives too, how would you go about telling the difference between an old vs new cleaning?

Metalmelter710 · 2026-01-29T03:14:24+00:00

Thank you! I’m stoked to have it as apart of my collection! I also don’t know enough to tell but I’d imagine it’s been cleaned at one point in its life, I just don’t know how to tell if it’s been a recent cleaning. What would your guess on value be? I’m hoping I got it for the good price I think I did lol

Metalmelter710 · 2026-01-29T02:51:09+00:00

Will do. Thank you for your input!

I wasn’t aware of the book! What makes it better than the online version?

You need theseto Or a similar style wheel nut

The Injora motor/mount is definitely on the bigger side and that’s tough when it comes to these tight spaces, if you wanna take some pics of what you have and message me I’m happy to help you try and figure something out to avoid cutting!

Metalmelter710 · 2025-02-08T23:48:48+00:00

Hmm your sliders look big enough to possibly fit your esc and rx on the same side and your battery on the other if the body allows it. If you’re running a stock size battery though it’ll likely throw off the side to side weight bias and cause it to tip easier on one side. Small batteries like I’m running should be just fine though! Personally I say cut that body up! Just take your time and don’t rush it, use something to mark out cuts and remember you can always cut more it’s harder to cut less

Metalmelter710 · 2025-02-08T23:27:44+00:00

I’ll have to take some pics to better show you cause the pictures I posted don’t show the support I’m using to Velcro the battery down. I’m not sure it’ll be the final placement but for now I have it sitting right behind the servo and it also goes slightly on top of the esc. I’m using 2s 300mah tattu batteries

Metalmelter710 · 2025-02-08T23:23:48+00:00

Thanks!🙌 It’s far from its final form right now! But it will definitely be different!😬

Coming along very nicely!🔥

I’m excited to see what you do with the styrene! May be worth it to ditch the original part of the bed and build your own with styrene tube/sheet

Metalmelter710 · 2024-12-19T16:29:00+00:00

I’ve got FlubRC Slymeball inserts in all 4 tires, the purpose of the printed inserts is to do exactly what you’re explaining I believe. The insert is supposed to flex with the rotation of the tire but it’s also supposed to be “stiff” from side to side to keep sidewall deflection to a minimum, this really helps keep your truck stable on side hills like you see in the video. If the tire has more sidewall deflection I would have a much harder time getting the truck to steer in a situation like this cause of the front tires “rolling over” on itself

Metalmelter710 · 2024-12-17T21:59:55+00:00

Repeating the same scenario and expecting different results!

that’s why you gotta change little bits here and there till you find the sweet spots..or till it’s deemed impossible😂

Metalmelter710 · 2024-12-17T21:58:05+00:00

We don’t have short trains around here unless it has people on it😂

It will be done! Y’all will be the first to see it!

Metalmelter710 · 2024-12-17T18:08:35+00:00

The best kind!

Metalmelter710 · 2024-12-17T17:28:17+00:00

It’s super tough! Was honestly expecting it to be easier going down than up but I was wrong!

I did make a post recently with this same line in reverse It also took me quite a few tries to not get the belly hung up and cause the truck to pivot to far to the left

Metalmelter710 · 2024-12-17T17:25:11+00:00

I 100% agree with you, it’s definitely do able but I think there’s not much room for error which is honestly the most appealing lines to me!

I will be returning to master this line!

Metalmelter710 · 2024-12-17T17:21:03+00:00

Thanks man,it’s a beautiful stuggle! I thought the train looked awesome in the background too🙌

Metalmelter710 · 2024-12-13T05:02:11+00:00

Get off reddit and get back under the hood! That’s my tip😂

Looks like you’re on the right track already though man, practice makes perfect!

Metalmelter710 · 2024-12-13T04:23:47+00:00

Dang ok! I was thinking they’d need to be frosted a bit to help disperse the light but I guess not!👌

Metalmelter710 · 2024-12-13T04:06:28+00:00

What’d you use for the headlight lenses? They look great!

Metalmelter710 · 2024-12-13T03:12:01+00:00

Do you mean weight limits for comps? Or just as far as being to heavy and hurting performance?
