I just came up with this:
Easy clip removal
Materials: String
Tie some string on the clip so you can pull the clip out by holding the string.

Here's one I just did to my car
Custom clips: You know how they're a hassle to get on and off? Well here's the solution:
Materials: Small paper clips and pliers
Procedure: Straighten out the paper clip. The on one end shape it like the locking part of regular clip. Cut it as short and you want it to be. I use this mod for my battery holder (which isn't a pain to take off anymore), on the body posts, and on the body.

If you have an old team orion micro elite modified motor you can prevent the leads from breaking off (well at least reduce the chances) by bracing them with a block inbetween. I used a piece of 1/8" thick balsa wood. It prevents the ears from bending in and out; if you wanted to prevent side to side motion you could assemble a cross shaped brace.

Here it is:

I've always had problems pulling the hubs off of the wheel drum on my micro (I have the scars on my thumbs and the broken wheels to prove it). This made it a nightmare to do simple tasks like adjusting the rear differential and other things that required me to take off the wheels.

I actually did this modification because I thought it looked cool, but then I realized that it also allowed access to the screws/nuts that hold the wheels on without taking the hubs off. Basically you just cut the mesh or spokes out of the hub before putting it on. It leaves the wheel open so you take off the wheel without pulling off the hubs. Hope this helps somebody!

And make sure that your brake disc is glued on there well, if not it might just go flying off and a burden to find again.

Instead of using grease in my differentials I use carmex. It feels smoother and smells good to. The tube says its long lasting as well. Give it a try!

No I am totally serious. I ran it on my super stock micro during a full race season on both the front and rear diffs and even my buddy did no problems and is still smooth to this day.
