I find it fascinating on the 2.2/3.0 wheels - and all this time I thought this was a 'new' size! Of course, they'er a bit narrower than current SC fare but it's interesting to me none the less!
I think this is a build that's going to be fun as heck to watch!
I had almost forgot about this thing...spent an otherwise dull afternoon stripping a couple pounds (literally) of junk parts of the chassis.
Cheep (stupid) "low rider" crap (motors, wiring, circuit board, speaker..) had to go.
Denatured alcohol took car of the fake windows and stickers..as a bonus, I discovered that the orange paint may actual wipe off...
(It'll be completely stripped & re-painted)
I can't wait to plug in the lights.
I'll see if I can maybe re-use the chassis with a few mods...
I can't believe this thing actually moved with only a 360 sized motor!
Oddly, after ripping out the low rider crap, I'm kinda diggin' the slammed look..

I was hoping to use a M-02 or 04 chassis to build this, but no luck. So I made the chassis and used left over M05 parts and a combination of Yeah Racing & 3Racing M-05 parts. I made the chassis as narrow as possible.
The dif & pinion gear are the...
I know it's not officially hobby grade , but I love the Tamiya level of detail. I see an old school (red & white) tu-tone paint job, roof rack, and a couple of long boards in it's future... 8)
If any of you don't know, I spend more than 1/2 my time living at oil rigs and the remainder at home. I am generally home anywhere between one and six weeks at a time, depending on time of year, but mostly 1 to 2 weeks. I am waiting on parts to...

We got them when they first came out a few years back. Maybe they've reduced the abrasiveness since?
Okay here’s a random one. I bought this car because I’ve always liked the looks of the gas on road cars growing up. Always wanted a Serpent Impact even though I would’ve just destroyed it tearing up and down the street. This was on ebay for super...
I got this car off of ebay, $65 shipped RTR (supposedly).
the arms are blackish but they don't appear evenly dyed, nor do they appear painted.
After looking around at various parts, it seems that a marker was used to color the parts. it has faded,...

I don't know about using the marker to color the parts, but you can use the felt inside a sharpie to dye parts. Just take the felt out, cut it open, and put it in the water just like RIT. I use blue sharpies on my parts because the color matches RPM...
Picked up a CF RC10L with a Novak T-4 and a Black Magic motor but don't know which one. Anyone with old literature? All that is on it is Black Magic. I read a post on RC Tech that they were made by a person named Tom Aument (AJ's)

probably one of my pain-in-the-ass things about those motors. some were just stock and others just looked stock. no labels or anything to give them away. unless you had the original header card.
