Talked to Mitch last night. He is the guy going in with Glenn on the small engine shop. Glenn is not closing the track. He has already closed the hobby shop part. The only things he will carry is our oval stuff.

I think there was some miss understanding. I race there every week and we have been told anything of this. I do know that some of the pits were closed in to make room for a small engine repair shop.

Here are a couple of pics of my vintage motor collection. All of these motors were raced at one point in time. My favorites of all have the to be the Slot Machine 2 and the Parodox. They changed stock racing in there own right. First was the laydown brush then came the rebuildable stock motor. Most ...

Charlie the first one is the Green Machine. It matches the pics I've found in some old mags. The one in the middle looks just like a Slot Machine but only green. The GM2 has pretty much the same endbell as the Midnight. I am completly puzzled.

Hey everyone I was looking through my old brushed box of goodies a found these. I know I have GM1 on the left and a GM2 on the right. What I can not figure out is what the middle one is. It has the same can as the the GM2 but a different endbell. All the motors have epic on the endbell. The end bell...

I just got my hands on a JR series chassis. I was torn between build a shelfer with it or making a runner. I decided to build a carpet oval truck to help us lay down some grip on our track for the winter. I won the truck off of eBay. It was in pretty rough shape but really all I wanted was the chass...

Here is a little update. While going throught he rear diff I noticed the inner diff bearing had seized inside the gear. I triad prying it out and POP balls everywhere. Needless to say I wasn't a happy camper. I have not had any luck locating one. Dosen't matter if it is a used one. I am going to che...

This is what kept me from working on my XX4 this weekend.

Cleaned up my old stock body, It will do for now. I'm still looking for a stock one to paint.

I got this in a trade about 10 years ago for some pan car parts. I used to run it all the time. It's time for a rebuild. I swear heard it crying as I was taken it a part. LOL!

Well I'm done with my LXT. Just need to locate a body for it..

Ritchie Mac

Well with my LXT almost done I'm trying to figure out which Losi ride to do next? I'm thinking about building an oval truck on a JRX 2 chassis. I have another LXT minus the chassis I got off eBay.. This truck will be used to help run in our carpet oval track for our pan cars this fall and winter. Ri...

Thanks I knew they looked close but I was not sure..

Ritchie Mac

Hey everyone just a mini update. The truck is pretty much done. I have the stock wheels and tires to clean up and thats it. I'm still having trouble locating a body for it. I want the stock body but I have not found any yet. Does anyone know if the GTX or NXT body will fit? Also are the cooling (ven...

Naw man I'm going to make it a shelfer. Thanks I'll check on the body.
