O-Slop Reduction
Again, there is that ever irritating slop on those multiple joints of steering linkages. How you wish they are much more sturdier and dependable during your drift battles. Although slop is unavoidable to happen, you can still minimize it by using dampening ring. Get some O-Rings that normally found in use for damper's shaft, pop them down around the ball stud before placing the ball cup back. It will also reduce the amount of abrasion from dust getting trapped inside the cup.

toyota celica gt4 1:10 polyester modelEveryone was skeptical and the build project was looking anything but good. But boy were we all wrong...

He used polystyrene foam as mold, printed out exact 1:10 scale out of the car blue print, and even have the real car itself... talking about passion for cars and the skill to do a scratch build scale body, I don't think there are many that can surpass this.
