I was a bit heartbroken when I had to sell my mint Hi-Lux build last year. Link here: https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=44190 Well, finding this shrink wrapped truck definitely makes up for it! It's pretty crazy that a 30 year old truck like this is still sealed in the box. This thin...

Not sure, but I remember brushless used in insane speed run cars in the mid 90's. brands like Aveox etc...

With the stock foams , the truck is pretty much riding on the rim while running on a ...

Might not be a big deal, but I restored a 30+ year old Wild Willy. The only decal I have always loved, and thought is just a part of this particular car, is the "club" suit decal. I did not have high hopes, but was able to lift this 30 year old decal, and save it from turning to dust. I re...

Well look what arrived from overseas earlier than was projected. Since no where have I seen pictures of the contents of this Worlds conversion kit, here they are in case the Yokomo timeline is updated when mid 2000s is the new vintage.. .

Tamiya's rereleased their SRB diff with a new part number 54897. From the pictures it looks to be identical to the 84113 diff. At least the crazy prices these things fetch will stop....... for a while.

From what i gather the spur gear is attached to the outer casing of the Hydradrive, the unit itself being filled with thick viscous fluid. Various fluid thicknesses can be used to tweak the set up. Within the Hydradrive unit is some sort of impeller which is attached to the shaft. The spur turns und...

Perfect!
And now we know why you've chosen white and gold.
