And some 3d printed parts when I had a printer. Wife couldn't handle the smell. And 40mm fans set of 2 motor 1 ESC for 12.00 ish. But for road cars.

I've made a center brace out of the under barrel bar thingy from a bb gun. Then a brace that goes on the chassis that probably did zero. I took both off.

Wow okay cool i was just thinking i was the only one lol over here like macgyver yea i think the real bracket & my own tube would look legit like Boggs im using a peice of a fishing rod & a 40cal shell to hide the fray from cutting the rod i think fishing rods are carbon fiber

All the time! My favorite is my home made pivot balls from 4mm clear tubing. Stock pivot balls don't last and when knew are super fiddly to fit. These fit snug but easy to lign up and they last.

Do you have some pictures? That's awesome

Second that! Pics because that's a common issue. I used Hot Racing pivot balls but after a few runs they add wear to the rod ends and you're back to slop.

Yea what you said!!

Use teflon tape inside the ball ends if slop really bothers you.

 

[travykat]

Oh yea that looks clean i got to get my hands on some CF tubing it would look cool over the cvd shaft or a tierod

 

[SrC]

Stock plastic balls. A few small strips of TEF. tape in the End and pop the ball back in. It will be snug at first. Snip off any excess. Any visibly remaining T tape is fine. T tape is slippery. It will loosen. It works. Do every single ball end. Trial and error and you will know how many small strips of T tape will get it snug.
Will hold you for a while. Wears much slower. I do this mostly with my On roads stuff. Off road slop I can deal with.

Get the 3M ones. The rest are a waste of money. I liked the Di Noc one better as it had a stronger hold.

Ok I will take some pics. But beware it's effective but not pretty.

4mm tubing cut to length. Slice off a small section or it won't fit. The photos of them in the rodend are at least 25 packs old and still have very little movement.

.

And 56 seconds into this on my Big Rock

 

[BulletRCs_NZ]

One other thing I use the 4mm tubing for aftermarket shocks as spacers in the eyelets. Same process as above
