Talion Brand New to RC World and looking for someone to teach me how to Wrench.

[Dan B.]

This forum is not only a good tool to use but is also full of tools . Only joking(not ). There are some very knowledgeable guys here. Use them, they like to help.

True, that. And the more he hangs out here the better he’ll be at asking the right tool for the job.

Thx 4 the reminder, I need to upgrade my electric. I just loose single-finger the trigger as my clutch on the 4v I use currently.

I did for YEARS also!! but since I’ve had this I can’t imagine going back! It’s the best tool I’ve ever bought (for RC)

 

[Smilinbri]

I won't bother showing you the dozen-plus tubs and boxes full of parts, bags, tools, parts, etc I have in the closet, downstairs, etc. I need a proper place for all this stuff but I am just working with the space I have at the time.

Man, get rid of them shelves and put a big work bench right there!! You can find creative ways to store the rigs.

Yeah, there is actually a small workbench (old kitchen counter so not very deep, just long/wide) opposite those shelves but it is cold downstairs even in the summer, and my TV/Music, PC, etc are all upstairs.....

I also don't like leaving our old dog alone upstairs if I am downstairs, and she ain't a fan of the stairs.

And get one of these. Best investment you’ll make USE the toque settings. View attachment 282692

Does anyone live in the Red Bank NJ Monmouth County area looking to make some extra money. I’ll pay you for your time.
I just bought a ARRMA Talion and I need to learn how to fix my own car.

Just watch a whole bunch of YT videos on the subject

Yeah, 2 is 1 and 1 is none IME from the EDC world so I want at least 2 of every tool (and every car obv).

 

[EJunlimited]

Best way to learn is through experience. Righty tighty lefty loosy and don't over tighten anything.

I think the main desk and the return bridge cost me about $500 total a decade ago. best desk/money ever spent.

There's a habitat for humanity in the area I'm checking frequently for a nice work desk like that with the underneath area open.

Nice. If you can score what you need free or cheap all the better. This desk is beaten up but It still works well enough that I don't want to drop another 500+ to replace it.

An old kitchen counter top screwed to the wall might be enough for what you need?

I’m in michigan so I can’t, but good luck man! Wrenching is a necessary skill. I’d say just dig in and take lots of pictures. Use the exploded view of your car online.

If I can’t figure it out? I’ll hit you up. Michigan too. Lol. Obviously. I have the tools. Bench. And want to. I’m doing a big repair job on my DBXLE and Daymn. It’s not cheap. But it’s fun

First off, you must have decent tools and fixins’, like grease, oil and shock/diff oils. The below are great on a budget and will get you started. Watch 6s repair videos on you tube and ask questions here.

Jennysrc.com. Best prices for take off stock parts. Get yourself a screw kit first thing. They sell out on parts and restock quick so sign up for the text notification if out of stock. Study the below breakdown of your car, push the red part number to see what it is. Good luck bud!!
