Well I accidentally rediscovered RC10 after almost 40 years. I was never lucky enough to get one back when then but man did I beg!
So I bought this beautifully never run chassis w a Edinger box that I'm going to build and display. I've gotten the bug and have a few more used ones coming that I'm going to restomod with new Spektrum electronics and lipo battery.
I've got Arrma Vortex basher and really like the ease of the Spektrum hardware.
Here's a LS motor I'm finishing up for a 53 chevy pickup. It's a 325 to a 364 with a BTR stage 3 cam, AFR heads w dual springs, 120lb injectors and Holley terminator X. putting a 1000hp turbo in it and tune to 800hp.
Number 2 showed up today. This is a cadillac boxed one that's been used. This will be my resto mod car where I'll use all spektrum hardware. She definitely needs some TLC.
Well I used my ultrasound cleaner and got all the plastic parts cleaned up. Added my 3d printed battery and electronic base. Ordered a stealth trans for it. Rebuilt the shocks and added new oil.
Ordered a stealth trans for it? Do you have a drill template for the stealth trans mount holes? It looks like that A stamp chassis is only setup for the 6 gear trans.
It's no big deal to drill the chassis for the stealth trans (Associated had a drill template) but you'd probably want to take everything off the chassis first.

"I love the effort, but it sure looks like you took the long way around to a tub again"
Added another to the stable. I got this carbon one off ebay. It's drilled fir the stealth motor already so I can use it as a template. This one's got Andy's front and rear control arms. Also came with a nice painted shell and an aluminum rear wing.
I recieved my Bosscat works today and was pleasantly surprised to find some extra goodies in the box.
Upon closer inspection.........Alloy steering bellcranks! BONUS! :mrgreen:
The seller was also kind enough to throw in a set of alloy...

Yes it was cracked. The guy that I got it from tried to weld it back together with a soldering iron. It was a pretty good job but surely would have exploded with one hard hit.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't 'into' xmas. Like a child I still like all things xmas and with two sons I plan to make each year better than the last.
I have seen a few xmas train layouts on the net and while mine isn't any where near as awesome...

Very cool! 8) I constantly try to delight my 6 year old daughter in little ways year round. They don't forget things like this and they become great life long memories!(not to get all sentimental or anything :lol: )
I am looking forward to a new digital camera like the GoPro!

Hakko 888 soldering iron. In the past I've only used cheap irons and the results were not so good. For years now I've been relying on other people soldering my stuff for me. I'm hoping the hakko will turn me into a soldering pro.
Over here in Australia we never get to have a white xmas.
I have always wondered what it would be like to enjoy the traditional white xmas over in the USA.
What areas do you recommend for a great xmas experience.

Maybe I need to do a house swap with someone over there. That way a Canadian/American family could see what it's like to have a summer Xmas in Australia. It's certainly not all bad, I even have a good r/c collection to peruse through too ;-)
Many years ago I started a tradition at Clodtalk where I would write a Christmas story that involved the member of our beloved site. I put forth the idea here to our sister site in hopes that a similar love and camaraderie exists here (I know it...

See what a little creative weed will do for your brain! :lol:
It must just be residual from 14-15 years ago! :lol: Although last night would have been a good night for part 2. My boss has a killer Christmas party every year and I NEVER drink hard...
