Re: “Blueprint” Scorpion!

Now it starts to look like race car, a few things are still left to do. And all that include Alclad 2 chrome paint, the KC lights, motor guard and nerf bars. I almost forgot the custom made decals and the wing! Still working out where I have misplaced my A&L wing mounts that I was planning to us...

Re: “Blueprint” Scorpion!

First of all I will thank all of you guys for the all the positive comment, it always helps you to try, to go the extra mile! :D This project has come to a halt, a few things are still left to do, the undertray (the mold for the udertrray is finish) and some decals (not done)!. And I don’t know when...

Re: - Early Edinger RC10 resto -

The last couple pictures you posted makes the car feel like a box art car to me, but if you already have one of those, maybe give the Curtis Husting RC10 manual replica a go. Either way, everything cleaned up well and looks great so far, looking forward to more progress! PS> What specific process di...

Re: Now people can't stop talking about the 1/12th Fantom 4wd re-re!!! :)

Finally built. Things to note, the parts fit is excellent. The only thing that wasn't quite right on mine is the front right stub axle side play. There was a little more movement than the left side. Easily remedied with some Tamiya shims. The front sprocket isn't ferrous. It has quite a heft to it. ...

Re: Now people can't stop talking about the 1/12th Fantom 4wd re-re!!! :)

Looks really nice! Thank you. Why isn't the body painted yet ??? It took me long enough to build. I'm getting older. :lol: The car looks great Chris! By chance, are you able to determine if the front and rear sprockets have the same tooth count? Someone mentioned the car having one-way bearings in ...

Re: Now people can't stop talking about the 1/12th Fantom 4wd re-re!!! :)

I can confirm, shorter pinions will not fit with the 600E fitted. I tried a Robinson Racing 22 tooth 48dp pinion. There's not enough shaft to lock the grubscrew onto. 11mm of shaft protrudes from the front of the motor. In the instructions Kyosho recommends motors that have 15mm minimum for using sh...

Trey,
I've got my paint but haven't decided on the design yet. Definitely not doing boxart for this one.

I think it turned out great! What a nice looking car! This and the Plazma are some of my favorite Kyosho's.

Nice colour combo Trey. Looks great.

I've had word from Hong Kong, my 480T brushless is in the post.

I've got the 240S speed control here already. I was lucky as I bought it for $104 Australian dollars from a Hong Kong eBay seller when they had three left. There's some listed now from the US for horrendous prices.

We really need to encourage entry's of lower quality as it might make choosing easier , the TRX3 is very nice , the JRX2 would already have my vote if it had electrics fitted , and its a Fantom ! or the Gene Husting replica and the list goes on ! how can we choose :?: Seriously though a very nice se...
