OMG! Thank you, thank you, for sharing that. That was a seriously awesome video!

Looks like a great start! Minus the motor, those exact electronics are straight out of my childhood memories.

Since your initial post, I've been looking through the money pits in eBay for some old HO slot cars, but everything I like must be made of gold. The name and sign are fabulous! I need to find some of these fancy Sharpies!

That chassis! Looks great!

Welcome back into the hobby, and to the forum!

I received some $ for Xmas this year, so i ordered one of these. First new RC I've purchased in a long time, and by far the most expensive!

Its the new Losi LMT, solid axle monster truck. Comes RTR as a Gravedigger or Son Uva Digger. I opted for the roller version instead, without electronics or body.

If it was easy, anyone could do it. At least this toy has an internal combustion engine. I think that lessens the baby's toy effect.

I know the feeling. But on a happier note, your car looks and launches great! Well done!

Well done! The printed parts and chassis repair look spectacular!

I was thinking an SCT of some sort, too. They have a large body that covers all the sensitive equipment (and sharp edges), they are easily tune-able and most are quite robust. Plus, cheap ones are all over the place. Nothing vintage about them at all, but they seem to fit the rest of the requirements.

I agree. The LEDs won't pull very much current at all, so you should be fine with any of those options.

Very clean. Good work. Looking forward to more photos!

Here are the dimensions for the LRM Hydradrive/slipper top shaft.
