pretty for sure. you don't plan on running that beauty though, do you?

i'd stay away from the alloy parts. they add weight and can break the parts they attach to.

have a read through this:

on the slipper, you can install a b4 top shaft and slipper assembly, it's a direct fit.

Just came upon this thread last night. My name is Lucas Houge, the son of Mike Houge. My parents now own a small CNC machine shop just outside of Nashville, TN where we machine and fabricate our own asphalt late models and other racing parts. Its very cool to see these RC cars are still around! do ...

i don't think i've seen any graphite cars at the vonats in the past 5 years, maybe one if that.

back in the day i swore by the graphite, today i race a goldpan....

finished the build over the weekend. i'm impressed with how little slop there is. it's the tightest ae car i have ever built.

my son and i are going to hit the track thursday for some practice, i can't wait!

happy bday joey!

An example is my friend just bought a Wild One and brought it out yesterday. He said he wouldn't bother running it as compared to the Scorpion the suspension is a joke. I gave it a drop and the front bounced cause of too much pack and the rear bounced just as bad because of the opposite, too soft a...

i agree, although i love the performance of todays 1/10 racers, they are not 1/10 scale. a grasshopper is 1/10 and looks tiny next to a modern 1/10.
but that started with the goldpan really, even the short arm is big for 1/10, it's long.

i just started listening to this podcast, loving it.
listened to the halsey one the other night and the lett one last night.
i think R.I.P. will be my new soundtrack while in the rc workshop.

very enjoyable.

almost done with the build. i'm taking my time with this one and enjoying it.
love the shocks with the x-rings, sooooo silky.

yes...i noticed the steering is backwards last nite. doh!

Maybe the jconcepts rc10 tyres would be worth a shot. the jconcepts "rips" fronts for the rc10 work great, a fantastic tire. the rear tires from jconcepts are for a 1.7" wheel, the scorp's are 1.5", don't fit. anyone know where we can find some 1.7" rear wheels that will wo...

pics or it didn't happen.

happy belated.

+1 on the turnigy trackstar 17.5, it's a bad mofo for 40 bux.
i've got one in my scorpion and it's a rocket.

i'll have to do a comparison with that and the tekin and lrp 17.5's i've got.

travel is the issue, which as soon as i get some extra funds i am going to experiment with shocks. i know we won't be able to increase travel, but if dampening can be improved enough then we can take modern jumps better. on straights and sweepers it's a rocket, not too bad in the esses either, it's ...
