Re: Lonestar's New Grail - Carbon and Shiny RC10 :)

I was told by FL that I got one of the last tubs they were ever going to do and that was about 5 yrs ago. The quality of my tub was complete junk compared to that beauty. I was so disappointed with the quality and appearance of it I never built it and sold it. I guess they just dont make em like the...

Re: Tower Hobbies

I heard on one of my heli sites that hobbico is employee owned for the most part so they stand to lose everything. Gotta feel for those workers.

Re: Now that's some TALL gearing!

Was it limited by aerodynamics, or did you always run out of track? Traction was the biggest problem obviously. We tried to address it set up wise as well as aero. I had access to a waterjet at the time and probably made 15 different chassis for it of different design. Rear motor, mid motor, etc. W...

Re: Now that's some TALL gearing!

A couple summers ago a friend and I built a 1/12 pan car from scratch in an attempt to go after the 1/12 speed record which was 118mph at the time. It was powered by a Castle 1/8 buggy motor and 4s lipo that was geared almost 1:1. It was a monster! Foam tires exploded. Cap tires exploded. We replace...

Re: NOS Team RC10

Wow! Its super unfortunate that someone dyed all those parts at some point. If it was all white like original, it would be very sought after and quite valuable. I still would hesitate to run it because it still does have value and with the re-release of the RC10, why not buy a new one and start the ...

Re: eBay sellers be careful...

I really cant believe there isnt any competition for ebay yet. I have often said someone way smarter than me should start an auction site that charges $.99 to the seller and $.99 to the buyer no matter what the item no matter what the price.
