I remember when I got my first production JRX and Rick Hohwart still had his Prototype and hadn't gotten the new produciton parts yet. We were at the Regionals in AZ 1988 Region 12 if I remember. Not sure if it changed or not. It was the qualifier for the 1989 Worlds. We were cleaning our cars and I...

Amazing work on that chassis! When I saw that first picture, I thought it was dead. But you saved it. Nicely done.

Yup. Sacrificed the bottom plate, but no damage to the transmission or rear bulkhead. It was to be replaced anyway.

Hi, I wish I had old photos like you have. Very cool! I once started with a Hotshot and I still have that car. I will always have a soft spot for the Hotshot and got really inspired by your build.

No apology necessary! Good luck with your project.

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

I love what Tesla did here haha

REN is probably Bob Novak, and ASK is probably Adnan Khan. THP might be Tyree Phillips.
