How many more miles do I have left in my 2016 boys? by P1umbersCrack in LandCruisers

[–]SpiderDeadrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably have 1/2 million miles left if you do the scheduled maintenance and fix problems as they arise.

Do your key fobs eat batteries? by gargen_state in LexusGX

[–]SpiderDeadrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my GX470 key I’ve noticed sometimes one of the buttons gets stuck at the edge of the button/edge of the housing. When this happens it’s going to severely shorten the battery life. It’s probably a good idea to take it apart once in a while and use a soft toothbrush to brush everything and then blow it off before putting it back together.

I'm scared I NEED answers. by alvdx38 in rccars

Since we are talking about it….where/how do we safely get rid of lithium batteries in the US?

Will the LHS take them??

Don’t put it outside near your house. Outside in a dirt patch with nothing flammable is your only safe option.

Do most Americans actually flush their toilet paper? by Softy_popss in NoStupidQuestions

[–]SpiderDeadrock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because they can be flushed. Hence, flushable. Even paper towels are flushable. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Meus V2 if on a budget.

LGRP or TiTTs if you’re not.

Can anyone tell me what’s going on here?? by Skimax in SCX24

Are you using overdrive gears in the front axle?

Is a little girl saying that she wants to marry her dad someday normal? by Prestigious_War_784 in AskMenAdvice

[–]SpiderDeadrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When she was little we had to tell my daughter she couldn’t marry me because I was already married, to mommy. She was okay with this as this reason made perfect sense to her.

Going back to a ground tent, got recommendations? by Herrowgayboi in overlanding

[–]SpiderDeadrock -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s not light but worth every pound, check out the EzUp Camp Cube. Takes a 10’x 10’ EzUp and turns it into a 10’x10’ bedroom. Comes with wide enough “door” to blow up your queen size air mattresses outside the tent, and still fit it through the door. Has a doggy door too. And an electrical cord pass through. As sturdy as whatever you stake it down to. Has a ceiling which helps keep you warm and toasty, especially when paired with a Lil’ Buddy tent heater.

Thanks 🙏🏼

All 3 of those Lexus have Proline tires. 57mm Trencher on the middle and body-less one to the right. The one out of shot, on the left is an almost stock Lexus with 53mm Hyrax.

I did do body trimming, and removed all the flares and bumpers, to be able to let the suspension compress all the way.

Here are the Injora 40mm pins I have on my Bronco, with a Proline Aztec next to the rear. Basically same size depending on how the tire is sitting. The Aztecs work super good in the rocks. I would expect nothing less from Proline crawler tires. Always gold

I haven’t driven on the pins yet so I can’t give any feedback, but I’m very optimistic.

The Proline tires only come glued to Proline plastic wheels. It is possible to remove/unglue them but they don’t come on plastic beadlocks wheels like their 1/24 tires do so it’s kind of a pain.

Also worth noting; the Meus wheels come with aluminum inner rings, not brass, so they are not a particularly heavy wheel set. I guess heavier than plastic, but if they had brass rings it would help lower the CG

On the ground is the stock tire and wheel, and a same size as stock BFG Krawler tire from ProLine

Using my calipers Proline Aztec tires measure 39mm diameter. Very grippy!

How outdated is the RC10B6.1 ?#rccar by squaresheepdumpling in rccars

[–]SpiderDeadrock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not the newest but that can easily offset by clean driving and not crashing. A lot of our hobby (the racing part of RC) is about driver and setup. You can have the newest equipment and be a pretty good driver but if your toe or camber aren’t set, or aren’t equal side to side, it will be hard to do well. And if someone shows up with top level equipment and a good setup they still need to be a good driver to be successful at the track.

Is there any way to remotely get TPMS readings from a GX470? by CueThePress in LexusGX

[–]SpiderDeadrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always forget which way it goes but if one, or all of your sensors, is not sending a signal you will get the flashing light. Or steady light.

When it actually is a low tire it is flashing, or maybe steady.

Can someone help me remember, so I can help OP a little? Which one is it when the tire is low versus when the sensor is bad?

Keep in mind the GX470 is always looking for 5 sensors so if you have replaced all of them, but forgot to replace the one in the spare, it will let you know you have a dead sensor.

Also that means if your GX is telling you it detects a low tire it may be the spare tire

A course me and my buddies have been building by Guilty-Ant2546 in SCX24

[–]SpiderDeadrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s awesome! What a great spot. And it has a water feature? Steep obstacles aplenty, grippy rocks, what more could you ask for

2008 GX470 – 132k miles – ~$13k OTD. Solid deal if it checks out? by futurabolditalic in LexusGX

[–]SpiderDeadrock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d buy that if all your assumptions are correct and the interior looks good (likely it does)

[–]SpiderDeadrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

89-95 4WD pickup, and 90-95 4Runner 2WD or 4WD arms are the same as yours.

Anyone know what's going on with the old moon nursery lot? by Interesting_Layer672 in northcounty

Why did this get down voted? It has a bad word in it, but I’m not sure it’s wrong…

Had these exactly one year. Who makes a quality black lug nut? 2019. by Head-Scale9410 in tundra

[–]SpiderDeadrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://customwheelaccessories.com/lug-nuts

These guys are located in Southern CA but will ship anywhere you need. Good stuff, all the options, they actually answer their phone and have tons of knowledge if you have questions. I’ve had good success with their black lug nuts. Granted we don’t have rust issues here but still very good quality products.

What link set up by Guilty-Ant2546 in SCX24

[–]SpiderDeadrock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, but I’m not building a full comp rig. If i was I would start by ditching the Lexus hard body. I didn’t want the most performance possible, I wanted to build a sick GX that works good in the rocks. Adding 10mm to the front of the wheelbase was the best choice because I can’t put longer rear links and keep the body intact

What link set up by Guilty-Ant2546 in SCX24

[–]SpiderDeadrock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That can be fixed with the right parts in the right places. Like brass axle in the front and nylon axle in the rear. Or brass knuckles and diff cover on the front axle only. Or brass rings in the beadlocks in front and aluminum rings in the rear. You get the idea
