Re: we all have big toys too don't we? show off your ride!
I think most of that performance difference might have to do with the jets, needles and springs. The default set you get with the Edelbrock carbs might not be ideal for optimal performance, but maybe tend towards driveability. The good thing is, changing them on an Eddy is as simple as can be. Unscr...

Re: we all have big toys too don't we? show off your ride!
My Charger (383 Magnum) ran like crap with a Holley 750 Double Pumper. The moment I swapped it out for the Edelbrock 750, it ran great right out of the box. Admittedly, I'm sure I could've farted around with tuning and got the Holley working properly, but the ease with which the Eddy just bolted on ...

Re: New RC Genre
I personally wouldn't mount anything to a wing, it's the first thing that gets ripped off when you wipe out.

Re: we all have big toys too don't we? show off your ride!
Unfortunately, today's shops can't even fix modern vehicles, let alone handle 40+ year old technology. They just don't have the knowledge OR the equipment to work on carburated vehicles, you've got to find either an old timer's shop or a specialty shop, or, do the work yourself. Sad but true. I lea...

Re: we all have big toys too don't we? show off your ride!
Man, kinda tedious stuff there, but enjoyable. Rebuilding carburetors is really fun, as long as you have all the correct specs and tools for all the internal and external adjustments to achieve the desired performance. A speck of a foreign object, or one off adjustment can cause a hitch in your gid...

Re: we all have big toys too don't we? show off your ride!
What's the status on the Charger? It'll hopefully be out of body & paint soon, but then...there's so much to do. Install new carpets, get seats either reupholstered or replaced with something more modern (whichever is more cost effective), reassemble interior, install new fuel tank and stainles...

Grendel resurrected
Here are some progress pics of Grendel's resurrection. She's been in body & paint since just after Christmas 2023. I never liked the original EF8 olive green color, but I wanted to remain true to her green roots--while doing something nobody has done before. Spent hours googling green-painted ca...

Re: My newest Ultima re-re (Tomahawk body)
Looking great. Although that's a Tomahawk body, it's definitely putting out some Optima vibes.

Re: Vintage Kyosho Rocky - NiCad to NiMH conversion
Also, current ESC's will let you dial down the "punch" or torque of the brushless motor. Basically acting like a slipper gear.

Agreed, that driver head looks about as realistic as you could get!

Re: Another Marui project - Ninja/Shogun
That Coors T-Bird body looks fantastic. I'm not a fan of the Shogun box-art though. The silver and gold just don't seem to go well together. Well, to be honest, black and gold might be enough and better, actually, and very JPS inspired :) (that's the plan if I succeed to save the original body) The...
