    How to disassemble the shock absorbers?

    Hello to all, I'm new to the RC world and so I apologize for the question that may seem trivial ... I bought a Temper ECX 1/18 and would like to disassemble the shock absorbers to insert the oil and stiffen the springs but I can not figure out how to disassemble from the top plate. For the part...

    Axles for the ECX Temper?

    Does anybody know if theres any axles you can use on the temper? Are the barrage axles (gen 2) the same as the temper? Can you use the everest 10 axles? TIA

And after a few days of rolling it around in my head and waiting for payday I picked up and ordered some parts for...

    My Temper is finally ready for the summer

    Changed a bunch of stuff over the winter/spring. I think I am finally happy with where things are now, at least until I have more spare cash for other mods. Changes so far: - Metal bumper/skid plate - Generic metal geared servo that seems to work pretty well - Axial bead locks - RC4WD mud...

    temper axles and links

    I have done a whole heck of a lot to my temper since I have been on last and have some questions about inter brand compatibility. Are the barrage and temper axles the same width? and also I would like to take advantage of the four link on the v3 axles if I can. Is what I'm looking at too much...

    New motor, 4WS, loud, new rims, tires! (My build log)

    I bought a epic 1/18th motor. It was silent when I ran it to sand down the spline so the pinion would fit. I reversed my tranny and put it back. My gear mesh looks same as stock? Yet the pinion and spur gear are very very loud. If I run it about as slow as stock, it’s pretty quiet. But WOT...

    Reduce torque twist without increasing spring preload

    There are a lot of solutions out there for reducing the horrid torque twist of the temper, but I've not seen one that addresses the link geometry. So here's my solution, particularly to address the lifting of the front right wheel when climbing. I'm not a suspension expert but after doing some...

    Crawler course

    Stopped by the local track today and they have a free crawler course. My ECX Temper didn’t make it up the big stuff yet as tires are prob too stiff and need weight in front still, but great ideas for my backyard course I’ll make soon!

    Bent links

    I was thinking about bending my links for more clearance. Has anyone done this? Or would i be better off buying them bent already? TIA

    Rub-n-Tug back at it

    got to run my temper today with stiffer springs in the rear shocks. I was very pleased and had little to no torque twist. I think my tires are a little to stiff so next I will do reduce the foam or take it out completely but what a chore with bead locks. Still need to add weight to the axel...

    weights in the wheel

    Didn’t see much on putting weights in the wheels so maybe this will help someone else so here’s what I did.....to start I wanted to put 1once in the front tires and half an ounce in back so I had some 1/4ounce stick on weight setting around that fit perfectly in the rim so I spaced them out...
