Riddle I think part of the cure for that is you can see who left the negative feedback. If I'm looking to make a deal and the guy has +8 / -1 and the -1 came from a guy with -1 (or worse) I'm going to feel pretty good about that. Also doesn't it give you a chance to respond to the -1? I think it...

:mrgreen: Do you have a thread going on yours or pics? I'd be interested to see.

Look at it this way: you've got 5 years to tackle a real serious overhaul.

Found this ugly little thing locally, gonna pick it up tomorrow. The base will needs some fabbing, but...interesting.

Tag with interest. I was wondering how to clean up winch bodies before re-painting (they are aluminum also).

Do you have to remove the steering gear also to do that? Or scoot the engine over towards the passenger side?

Runs great for me also.

The O-rings or the whole nozzle?

From GL, Boone Nat'l Guard. It was always a KY guard truck--maintenance truck.

Mine came with LED's front and rear. Is that rare?

Got the worm gear out! The BFH never did work but I finally figured out how to situate it on the arbor press and it pressed out like butter. That drive gear--is that brass? That's one of the prettiest pieces of machinery I've ever seen. Things are moving along nicely. I'll have both winches...

Awesome info, thank you guys. I worried at first this was a dumb question but I learned something.

PM sent regarding availability of high-quality fuel pumps at this time. (not from me)

I've noticed the inside of various bodies and assemblies (steering knuckles, PTO, winch end assemblies, etc) seems to have the same reddish paint inside there. How important is it to repaint or touch that up? My assumption is that these bodies are generally filled with gear oil so not too...

Thanks, G. I did hear back from White Owl, they do not have the brake bands. They have the lining and rivets kit but one of my bands is so badly rusted, I feel it needs replaced. Was told Sam Winer Motors might have them, sent an e-mail. Never heard of them before!

I always thought that GOOD RC helicopters were very expensive and Airhogs were crap. Well, after my son was given an Airhogs for Christmas I was surprised at how well it controlled but he did manage to break it after a couple days. This lead me to doing some more reading online and I discovered...

Hopefully this is the last big challenge of this operation but any tips for getting the worm drive out? The TM says "tap" it with a rawhide mallet. I don't have one of those. I bounced a rubber mallet off it a few times and then switched to a BFH with a piece of 2x4 in between to cushion the...

Holy cow, you are lucky. I still can't get mine apart for the world. Why bother taking the whole elbow off? I don't see any benefit to that.

I appreciate that. One of them looks re-usable and the other one is flat-out shot. Let me see if I can source a new one and if not I'll sure take you up on that.

With nothing but well-wishes: black on green is not gonna get your posts read.
