Nice educational video review for those who don't know how. 👍🇦🇺

That there some kind of wheel wrench is from a Tamiya kit 🎉 so you know now champ. Great video 🎉

[@HobbiesDirect]

Don't worry, I've personally got about 20 of them from all the kits haha! "Some kind of" was just to spice up the script :-)

How do I replace the same piece but on the diff or the other end. Mine has no screw and I can't pull it off. It's a arrma raider xl blx.

[@HobbiesDirect]

If you are talking about removing the diff output cup, you'll likely have to remove the differential. A lot of output cups are held on from the inside.

Somehow one of my drive pins fell out while O was driving it. I cant find it. It's the thinner one of the two in this video

How about replacing one on a 1986 Nikko Thunder Eagle The car is actually the GI Joe Crossfire but it is built on the Nikko Thunder Eagle frame. Can't find anything on removing the wheels. Have a grinding gear when switched in power speed. Also where to get the rear tires for that car?

[@HobbiesDirect]

That sounds super cool! But likely super hard to find parts for, being a niche within a niche. I'd suggest checking out some vintage RC forums and see if anyone has one :-)

@@HobbiesDirect thanks for the tip.

We're just glad people see the after-video easter eggs!😅

[@pyrace]

Yeah I've been working with tiny parts for year's and they they do just shoot off and enter a different Dimention when you drop them 🤣🤣🤣

[@HobbiesDirect]

I once found a part long thought lost *inside* the washing powder box - inside the cupboard of the laundry. I'm convinced it teleported.
