Thanks so much Lowgear Can't take a lot of credit for the original condition of the car. The car almost looks as if it has never been run. Tires look excellent and so does the belly. No scuffs from being upside down, not a scratch. I did start with thorough cleaning and re-lubing, which was not tota...

I acquired this car quite a while ago. It is in very good condition. Required very little clean up and tidying up. Came with the original body and no scratches on it's belly.

Got a little bit of painting done. playtron doberman.16.JPG Did not know what these lights were for until I looked at a picture of the original box online. playtron doberman.15.JPG playtron doberman.19.JPG A bit more cleaning, new servo saver and trying to resurrect the original front tires. playtro...

I mocked up some tires to kind of simulate to original tires. Finding decent original tires is probably out of the question.

Not sure if this is what you're referring to... For the longest time I would return to the home page by using the left ( go back ) arrow on the left side of the address bar, that does not seem to clear the notification for that post I just viewed. I now try to use the RC10talk logo to return to the ...

For me it was the mid 50’s. Glenview Naval Air station. standing on Lehigh Rd just outside the perimeter fence of the air field. Not cars but RC airplanes. The Academey of Model Aeronautics was holding their national event at the Naval Air Station in Glenview, IL. It was held there about every 4 yea...

Looks like you have a Losi hydra drive on the truck. It should have a slipper also. Take a look at Dan's site OLDRC.COM / Sabula Tech. http://www.vintagelosi.com/Instructions_files/HydraDrive_A3100_1.pdf Try not to put too much power to the trans. The diff can have a tendency to slip, get too hot an...
