I remember hearing that song for the first time in a Bones Brigade skate video, still have that Youth Brigade album on vinyl.

I'll probably just leave these the height they are, for now. I hear they are fun like this, might as well find out. Didn't realize how much extra brush painting the instructions call for. Glad I'm learning on this one, first. Rough going in a few spots, will get another can of TS-6 matte black and s...

It's super easy to slam a lunchbox. Just take off the lower block front and year, and use the chassis just like a hornet or grasshopper, then run hornet/grasshopper wheels and street tires. It's how my lunchbox lived forever because when I got it, it was just a box of parts, some of which were miss...

Got the foam battery holder, and fit the new 1500mah LiPo. https://i.imgur.com/BygGD74.jpg Chassis is almost done, will add a magnetic DC power coupler, for the switch on the lid to the chassis, so it comes off easily. https://i.imgur.com/cyivVtr.jpg The aluminum 5-stars are like the Jackman wheels ...

Started out with a blue jacket, thought I'd add the red seat belts, like the old baja's.


Ended up with the cajun ruffles guy instead.


Hope the helmet turns out well, and puts things back in perspective.

Thanks for that! I had seen that movie, not even that long ago, and had totally forgotten Peter Fonda's helmet. That movie must have inspired Bell to make their version. I was thinking I would use the stars as masks, and pull them off to reveal the white under the metallic blue. But the stars have a...

Hmmm... what was Jimnny's email address again?...

I would like to ask him about the corn cracking, and the reason for the apathetic song.

Part 3 might be available - tomorrow?

Wonder if the Parma bodies will ever make a comeback too. www.slotcarstore.net/pages/PARMA-RC-Bodies-T1622.html www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=48592 ...one email away from finding out if you can get one. Totally understand on taking artistic liberty's, it's generally a more fun way to travel. I s...

Thanks for the info on the bumpers! If I could find the Parma #10218 body, I'd go all out to make this as exact a movie car replica as possible. Going to have to take a bit of liberty with this Bolink body though :D. RJ Speed has all of the classic Bolink bodies again, so many good choices available...

The instructions for the Sand Scorcher recommend using a LiFe 1100mah battery. I had set this up to run a 3000mah LiPo shorty, but I decided to use a 1500mah LiPo instead. Ordered a 2010 reissue foam block to fit the 1500 stock size battery. https://i.imgur.com/sICvZsp.jpg Getting started on the dri...
