Re: Lipo info
Thanks for all the info, Nathan. I had heard some horror stories about fires and Lipo's, so I don't think I'll be messing with them now. The LiFe's sound like a better battery for casual use - will...

OK guys, I've been hunting around for a 6T pinion gear with no luck.
Anyone got an internet source for them??

Re: New Company? LMK if interested
Variety and competition is always good...
I think if you can offer Tamiya parts consistently, and offer custom built trailers and trailer kits, along with aftermarket parts, you should do well....

Re: Cab over dump and pup
Great build thread, Travis!
Gotta ask - what are you using for driveshafts, and where do you buy them?
Can't find anything like those around here at local hobby shops...

Re: K100 day Cab Cracker Box
Nice truck, Paul!
Like the set forward axle and re-adjusted wheel well - that's what REAL cabovers look like!
Now you just need a set of double pup boxes to tote behind it...

Re: Step by Step KH to Day Cab
Paul - question on the paint job...
Masking off for the 2 tone, I see you're using blue tape (probably low stick) to cover the majority of the base paint.
BUT what is that yellow tape you use...
