  Your experience with RCMart/Dinball may be a bit of a freak occurence but that’s why ausmicro.com sells stuff these days and will be selling more. You deal with someone in your country that you can get in touch with (by phone if you have to) without difficulty!
  
  So now whatdidyaget? 😉

  Nice list MiniKing. You got a winning motor there on your hands.
  
  Once you put the parts on, then comes the fun part of ongoing tweaking them to make sure your car handles spot on. I’ve been trying to do it for several months and still haven’t got the setup that I’d be happy with.
  
  BTW. Bring more batteries on Sunday if running that new motor of yours, or be prepared to be the track marshall.

  I think all roll shocks come with that washer that is placed under the aerial and on the other side. The 3racing gear is very ‘similar’ to the rc racing model parts.
  
  BTW – it’s does not conduct. I checked it with my dmm for resistance and didn’t get a reading.

  The RC Racing Model stuff is ‘common’ to a lot of other brands. A lot of it comes from the same maker in different colours.

  Carbon DOES conduct but remember, it’s covered in a layer of epoxy resin..It will screw up radio reception….

  Yeah someone told me that the washer for roll shock’s upper cf plate was metal so I had to test it for myself.
  
  So if your antenna were to touch the upper roll shock cf plate which is connected to the metal roll shock, which is connnected to the bottom cf h-plate, which is connected to the alloy motor mount which touches the motor can… high risk of Sizzle Sizzle or no Sizzle ?
