I never really took the radio system into my build. But what the heck I have everything else as a 1:1 besides the carter cash, the battery and the transponder. I see the receiver is a airtronics/sanwa 2.4 ghz system. Model number 92744. The transmitter was an Sanwa m12 Gold edition https://www.sanwa...

A lot of care can be taken to get good photos. It is immaculately clean in the photos. Obvious not in just raced condition. The carter cash sticker would have been a bright spot on the dark reflective photo-booth. It could have even been a sticker applied over the cartercash chassis saver for the ph...

So, they appear to be dimple died?... problematic because nothing would attach flatly to the chassis in their locations. Got to looking at the reflections trying to figure out what's going on around the trans mount when I noticed... the reflections on the chassis are on the wrong side compared to t...

He really helped me out for a while on this build. I'll chew this over for a bit before I try and bug him again.

I was looking over the pictures of the original trick recently and saw something I missed on my first build. https://www.reedyrace.com/ae/spotlight/pages/RC10T_Van/images/thumb.200_12.jpg The pictures are being taken on a reflective surface. The chassis is bare and as well it's drilled. Screenshot 2...

Has anyone used firebrand tires on their off road buggies to run on hard surfaces? They look to have a number of tread styles and a low offset that might work on older chassis. Here is one example. Guessing they're the width of 4wd front wheels. They have a wider set that might match rears, if anyo...

The wheels are listed in the parts sheet that came in the kit.

no it's not.What auction should I be looking at?

Thanks for answering my question.

When did the chrome jellybean wheels hit the associated catalog?
Would they be period on an Edinger?

IMG_4424.jpeg While the patch is setting I unglued the tires and started working on the wheels. IMG_4426.jpeg They were a bit rough around the edges but otherwise ok. IMG_4425.jpeg I bought some of this green stuff chrome for exactly this purpose IMG_4427.jpeg the results were pretty good. The chro...

Disassembled everything and went to work on fixing the chassis. I remember how much better I wanted it, but I forgot how well i actually did building this carbon fiber tub. IMG_4422.jpeg The mount point clean blew out IMG_4423.jpeg I cut up strands of lose carbon fiber and mixed it up with jbweld ep...

Already sourced an Andy's body painted in box art/ad art. Back in 1991, my mom got me a Trinity Slot Machine for my Blackfoot at the LHS. Its in surprisingly good shape and think it would be perfect for this build. It's the first one with the sky blue label. I have a Radiolink received, going to be...

I bought 2. I’m going to hand them to my kids. They get to have the new in box experience. My oldest has no interest in driving it. Just what came with the box. My youngest wants to build it with me and run it. Hopefully there is at least one combination of esc and motor that works. I am not sure on...

The CRC Evapo-Rust is a marvel, bordering on the arcane. The way it transforms the surface is almost otherworldly, leaving a finish that feels both ancient and pristine. No need for the grueling labor of sanding, no necessity to purge the parts of grease. As I watched, the rust seemed to wither and ...

I heard about crc evaporust from the Adam savage you tube channel. I was cleaning up a hand tool that was left to be rusty. I don’t think my father in law realize how much I love him to not bother him about that. This stuff is supposed to convert rust back to metal and be reused. So I tossed some of...

This truck endured like a war horse in its last configuration. Without a murmur of complaint, without a touch of maintenance, it ran on and on, steadfast and true. I was fiddling with some fine TLR aluminum drive shafts when I gave the truck a hard, honest look. It needs love, and it's going to get ...
