IMO, the best looking monster truck of the '80s was the Kyosho Double Dare! Not the best at really anything else, but looks wise, the DD does it for me!! :D So, through horse trading, I have ended up with two semi-crappy Double Dares, so might as...

It's been a while but I'm back to working on my MM Rustler project. I've decided to design a new version which is why I've started this new thread. It's been a long time since I started my original mid motor conversion and in that time I've gotten...

This is my first project posting on this forum. If this is the wrong section, please move it to the correct section.

I enjoy doing custom builds dsigning and fabricating custom parts. I have a decent amount of capabilities within my shop including...

Hey guys, what can you tell me about this one from Novak?

In the pictures, look for a short bit of wire that is located at the receiver and switch output area. There are two wires, both red, soldered together. :shock:

I don't think that part was...

I recently had 2 Kyosho OT-85 center gears (idlers) printed by Shapeways.
The gears were printed MJF PA12. Vapor smoothing or any smoothing was not an option.
The gear faces are not particularly well finished. Probably nature of the beast.
I really...

Had no idea they reissued the 1977 6-wheeler.

Spotted this for $190 last night, and this fool and his money have parted ways - once again.

Have a Hobbywing 1060 ordered for it, as it definitely doesn't come with the ESC.

Since my other car projects are about 90% done, it makes sense that I forget about them and dive into another.

Here's my JRX Pro-SE. My parents bought it for me very late in my RC car racing phase so I raced it very little and did very poorly...

This is my first rc car back in 1985-86. It's now odd parts or part on an Off-road car (pictures of it later).

I've finally got around to looking for a mid '80's RC10 buggy and have found one locally going at a good price.
Can someone date this sucker?
My economic forecast for 2009 looks bleak if I win this buggy:shock:
Dig that funky CRP bumper...That'll...

So I've just completed a recreation of my old vintage hotshot and I went with the original yellow Tamiya CVA shocks for the build as that's the way it was BITD , anyway last weekend I met up with a mate and we went for a bash at a local spot , he...

I recently dusted off the Rocky 4WD I built in the early 80s and used and handful of times around my yard back then. It's fully functional and I'm wondering if there's a market for these. Any info anyone might have would be greatly appreciated! It's...

The budget runner brothers freshly-batteried for summer and ready for first shakedown!
The brushless car features a JC Racing transmission (adapted for stock dogbones with a slight motor plate mod for pin-clearance which works great).
Brushed car...

Trying to help out Team Blue Groove locate a Pro-X / Pro-XRT gear cover they could reproduce, and of course they will return it. TBG just released their Pro-XRT reproduction body. I have a set of Pro-XRT wheel covers I plan on sending them soon to...
