Re: Are we ready to add an RC10T ReRe section?
Even though it was taken down, that's enough confirmation for me that it's eventually happening.

Re: Bored? Come To The Chit / Chat Thread
Someone built a 1/4 scale formula offroad R/C that's been on eBay for quite a while now. It's pretty incredible, but isn't worth anywhere near $15,000!

Re: Things that irritate you
I'm an old man, very much set in my ways. Having just been evicted from my long-term laptop home (my Windows 7 laptop would no longer power up, or physically charge the battery), I am now trying to get to grips with a shiny new Windows 11 beast. Fair to say I delayed moving from Windows 7 longer th...

Re: MRC Baja King Ads
At the time I remember it being a new oddball scale they were trying to have catch on that never did. My favorite was the Baja King due to never seeing a stadium truck that big before. It just seemed so awesome to me. I mean it still does. :mrgreen: I don't know about replacement tires but I think a...

I was 13/14 at the time, and the first ad with the wall has always stuck with me due to that image.

Re: Let's Talk Tractor / Truck Pulling
It's always a good idea to over beef things as there's a lot of forces involved. I know I know... I have to get working on my garden tractor class puller again. I had jwscab do all the machining on it late last summer. Then I worked on it a bit in the fall when it quickly got too cold to continue. N...

Re: Let's Talk Tractor / Truck Pulling
The hitch actually goes above the axle line these days. You want the front end to be pulled up, then weight is added to counterbalance the effect. This puts a lot more down pressure on the rear tires (fulcrum point) for increased traction. In the sportsman class, the max allowed hitch height is 4 in...

Re: (1986-2005) RC Car Action Archives
I'm signed up with a couple of file storage sites under their free tiers. I can see if there's enough space on any of them to upload these for redundancy.
If worse came to worst, I could always upload them here but they'd require a hefty chunk of storage space I presume.

That is the most rotund goldfinch I've ever seen. We normally have a bunch of them that fly around the backyard every year.

Re: Let's Talk Tractor / Truck Pulling
Yeah, they were sometimes used back in the day as a cheap alternative. I don't know how well they actually did but likely weren't amazing. I mean you're not going to be pulling any major weight with that kind of stuff but it works. The first puller I ever owned was a sportsman with a wire frame chas...

I'm a Belgian waffle man myself.
The donation system should be back up and running again. I spent an hour and a half reinstalling and setting up the entire thing from scratch only to realize the problem was something else.
