High-capacity glow igniter
Add a cell to your glow igniter to double its capacity. You’ll need to do some grinding and soldering, but the results will be worth it. Solder the cells in parallel, and use Shoe-Goo to glue them together. Two 3300 cells wired in parallel will provide 6600mAh. That’s enough to last for weeks of racing.
Jewel-box crystal case
Here's a clever way to keep your crystals safe and organized. Take a CD jewel case and remove the section that held the CD. Next, use a hobby knife to cut out small squares of thin foam rubber (toolbox drawer liners work great) A typical jewel case can easily hold 35 crystals.
Easy decal application
When installing large decals, use the decal's paper backing as a handle, You can also use the backing to burnish the decal after you've applied it.
No-mess diff-ball greasing
Cut a slit in the bag that the diff balls came in, and then squeeze diff grease into the bag. Work the grease around the balls, and then remove them one at a time as you build your diff. The greased diff balls will stick to the tip of a hobby-knife blade, and installing them in the diff-gear holes will be much easier.
