Should fit most of the 1/10 platforms out there. I think it's 313mm wheelbase. I went with the Axial SCX10 II because of the very large aftermarket but I think I'd go with the Traxxas TRX4 if I were to do it again. For even more scale, this one would be awesome with their leaf springs. The...

3D printed one with flexible TPU. Problem solved.

Huge facepalm.

I just found a thread on it when you posted! Thank you...gonna check that now. This probably didn't need to be a thread haha.

This might be my issue as well... I'll poke around Brake switch cushion/ brake light constant on - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/brake-switch-cushion-brake-light-constant-on.1050593/

1989 Fj62. The brake lights suddenly stay on when the ignition is off. Looks like it's the brake lights, not just the running lights. Pulling the "tail" fuse kills them (of course.) Chasing electrical gremlins is probably my least favorite work to do. Is there a known area I can throw my volt...

Went at it with some carb/brake cleaner to see if I could find a leak that way. Zero change in idle aside from the normal surging when it's warmed up. So I think I all but have the vacuum leak out of the question here, at this point.

Question: Would it be possible that the ECU is still acting like it has all the smog gear attached? I removed that stuff over a year ago now.

Well, back at it again. Decided to try a crude vacuum leak test. The ol' mineral oil vape. Try not to laugh at my airbox seal off cap :) It's only under a few PSI and I wanted to remove the filter housing from the loop as it just pours vapor out of the front air intake. Long story short...I...

Something just clicked in my head, thanks to you. I replaced the spark plugs last year and had to do some intake moving to get good access. I noticed the stumble issue increased after that. I think we may have a lead here, finally!

I removed all that last year. All things I need to go over this week. I've been slowly replacing all the vacuum lines. With the issue only occurring at idle and only when the truck is warmed up, would that point to one thing over another?

Unfortunately rebuilding the thermostat housing with all new sensors and wires did not resolve the idle stutter. All is not lost, though. My temp gauge on the dash finally reads accurately and my heater has never worked so dang well and so quickly. I'm still glad I did that much-needed...

I found the plug for the cold start timer switch and water temp sensor (grey and green.) Still need that weird one for the water temp SWITCH. The price is pretty ridiculous. I could get a whole bunch of these for that price but I didn't know the exact fit. Noted for future me! Amazon

I guess I can just do some spade terminals until I can find the correct connectors. If anyone has any ideas of where I can source the stock connectors, though, I'd be pretty happy!

It uses water as transportation for the media so it's a lot less abrasive than dry media. You can blast plastic and soft metals with no issues. I use silica as my media. Still need a hefty air compressor to run it, though. Yeah, ideally you want to dry things but I'm not sure water would corrode...
