Yeah, I hear about a different rule change coming about every week. Looks like the rules have been decided for the 2021 season. I agree, it needs to be kept simple. I was very careful when building my car to stay far inside the parameters of whats "acceptable". Heavy car, short wheelie bar...

I hear you. I was also looking at an R1 Wurks motor. Over the last couple years they've proven to be good motors in the 17.5 class, but I haven't heard much about their low turn mod motors. The fantom would be my first choice i think, but availability could be an issue. The last trinity motors I bou...

Wow. That thing really came apart on you. I'm looking at a couple different motors right now. Trinity and fantom are at the top of my list right now. Still need to do a little research on it. I wish reedy made a 4.5t.

First actual organized NPRC race today. The car ran straight and consistent all day with no mishaps. I definitely saw the limits of a cheapo 6.5t motor in a 4 lb., 13 oz. car. After a gear change and playing with the timing, 2.7 seconds @ 51mph was all she was going to do. Launched well, didn't ride...

Impossible! The very idea is ludicrous sir! I sat here thinking about it for a few minutes and decided it can't be done. It would be like choosing one of my children over the others. I could narrow it down to the top 12.

Here's a pic of the paint job. Not my best work, but it will do. I've been trying my hand with liquid masking, but there is a learning curve. I loved the Rc10 gold pan paint color so much on my recent buggy build, that I decided to try it on the Nova body.

I'd like to travel around and do a little racing once I get the car setup a bit. I heard it has become pretty big up there.

With No Prep rc drag racing growing rapidly here in southern Oregon, I decided to build my second attempt at a drag car build. I wanted sort of a "sleeper". Anyone looking to see what I'm running will, at first glance, see it's just another Traxxas Slash. I tried to add a few go-fast goodi...

I knew I'd catch some stuff by not running a wing on this car.

I'm not sure where the netting came from. A few years back, I found it inside a kit box with some parts and manuals that I picked up with an old rc collection.

Thanks guys

Like many here, I have more than my fair share of vintage RC10's, but this one has been under construction for over 2 years sitting in the background waiting for the right parts and trying to decide how to paint it. I wanted this one to be more of a street buggy. I wanted something different from th...

Holy smoke! The drivetrain on that sprint car is unreal! Curious how well those white plastic (Tamiya?) bevel gears would hold up under the strain of nitro power. That might be the craziest drivetrain setup I've ever seen, but it is pretty freaking cool! A true homage to the days when we made stuff ...
