Alright sit back and take notes. I'm going to do a little show and tell so you to can turn any stock guide into a deep guide. Now I want you to know I didn't come up with this. The guys I race with showed me this trick and I use it on all my rtr cars. Mainly my fly classis rebuilds :). Tonight I'm showing you how to do it using a slot it.
Stock guide
Lightly scuff with sandpaper
Take a stik of styrene and a side cutters
Cut to length and glue on I use the maxi cure stuff from scc
I then use the round sanding tool on my Dremel to sand it down
Then sands both sides as the stryrene is wider. I'm sure you can buy smaller but this is what I have so I have to sand both sides. I find it better this way. When you glue it on its easier to just glue it on and let it hang over :)
Then I round the front and back of the guide and sand the bottom side to the desired depth
Please not I normally glue it on the night before I sand it down. This way the glue sets up. But I've also done this last minute and raced on it 30 minutes later. Haven't lost one yet knock on wood!
Now I'm not saying this is better then a store bought deep guide. I do this to save money and know first hand it works! I race hard ask anyone I race with. I push my car hard prolly harder then I should. enjoy!
