I just use medium CA...whatever my lhs carries (I think the last bottle I bought was made by Mercury Adhesives). There's a few to pick from from Impakt but any of these will work... http://www.impaktrc.com/index.php?cPath=38_102 .

Thanks ajb1205 was looking at those also they have thin & med glue gonna go with a med glue.

Also heading to my LHS tonight to see if they have this bundle Im looking at and how much if its in the same price I might order from them and give them the biz.


Getting Jconcepts Rulux White 1/2 offsets or Yellow that will be a last second decision
Proline Mulchers as I realized I think its more like 60/40 I run on grass/dirt.

Air Filter gonna ask them if they can get me the same one u have on your truck for 25 bucks LMAO I been looking and I want that filter if not I will settle with the motor saver filter.

I am hopeing they have badlands & mulchers there so I can hold and feel the tread on them.

You'll like the tires which ever way you go. Even after having to pay $25 for shipping up to Canada, I still saved about $50 compared to buying the rims, tires and hubs from the lhs. If you get the MS filter make sure you get the prefilter, too. Let us know how you make out.

I think I just confused myself...again. The RB does come with 1 black inner and outer filter (which I just put back in the bag) and installed the white inner and outer prefilter. If you get the motor saver filter for the Revo get the prefilter pack for it (last time I checked you had to buy it separately). Motor Saver prefilters used to be black but they are now white (for obvious reasons). The RB is pricey but you will not be disappointed with it. I had a motor saver very breifly (ended up returning it when I bought my RB)...put it this way...you get what you pay for.

Your lhs should have it (if it sells the MS filters). If not, someplace like A Main Hobbies, Impakt, should have them, too.

Badlands in the end made the more sense for what I run on.
I will take pics once Im done with the whole thing.

will take some pre glued pics as I still dont know what color Im gonna do.

Next project gonna get a crowd pleazer body thinking of a stars & stripes theme.

motor save is to test it out if it dont work I will chuck it. Still gonna eventually get the rb filter.

I originally wanted the lrp crime fighters but they were on BO so I went with the lrp bow ties instead (I'm a little impatient). I had 40 series bow ties before and I really liked them. I should have them maybe today but probably on Monday.
