Hello there rrichard8405,

There is a forum rule that applies to your question. https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=7465

Not really sure why but decided to light up my old Sony neon from my store today.
Maybe for any Gen "X"ers.

Finished a few of the last tasks on the Doberman. Esc wired Changed servo for one with longer lead wiring Tidied all the wiring Mounted antenna. A view from the underside. Wires tucked in the "C' channel of the frame and held in place with small sections of silicone hose. All wiring easily clea...

The cars you built are very nice but that Art Deco Alemite oil bar....

For the handful of you that have Platinum shocks.... Several months ago, while working on my shocks, I had tried new white P4 orings. They turned out to have been too tight and have too much friction. The original orange Kyosho orings were somewhat leaky, and after reinstalling them they still tende...

"Just another" well deserved win.

Made a mount for the ESC.
Also helps to secure the servo a little.

Got pretty lucky today. I had been looking for a fairly period correct ESC for the Doberman, nothing too fancy. Came across this Futaba MC-112b untested. Asked seller if he could test and the answer was no. To me this usually means it's dead. But it was in really nice condition so I pulled the trigg...

Have you looked at Alclad Chrome For Lexan?

Barbatos Rex has done a video on it.

The wheels on my TOMSE are painted in Alclad chrome but they are done with Alclad's lacquer.

Congrats Derek

Really nice car like always and a convincing win.

Hello Coel, Low to the ground, swoopy lines with some added details. Almost MantaRay'ish. I like it too. I agree the decals leave a lot to be desired. This particular car did beg for box art, in my opinion, due to it's pristine nature. Only one other of my "finds" was nearly this original....

All the decals placed.
Still no esc or receiver but looking pretty good.
