Very nice, My first car was a Frog. I was looking through a Tower Hobbies mag the other day and found that they sell brand new Frogs, and Grasshoppers. Everything old is new again. It takes me way back to watching that frog bounce along...then splat, it got run over by a car :shock: To my amazement ...

klavy69 Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2008 6:09 pm Guy, Looking good. The first picture kinda 'blinded' me with all that shine . Did you figure on what you were gonna do for electronics yet? Gotta agree with Asso_man about lowering the shocks outward...will give your cvds a little more 'horizontalness' ...it...

Now I see what your talking about its all about 'horizontalness', now it makes perfect sense. :mrgreen: n33no Posted: Mon Jul 21, 2008 8:58 pm looks good. What kind ...

Ok, I think I'm finally getting somewhere with this thing. Since taking it apart and rebuilding it, I have been able to fix a couple of 20 year old problems I had with this car!!! Funny what a difference that can make. I can remember when I first built this one not being able to get a couple of thin...

I can definately hook you up with a "not-quite-straight" nose tubes. Right now they have the naturally bent look to them, but if you want I could do some "Upgrades" to them, just let me know. :mrgreen: The only thing about taking that sweet chariot to the nats is youve got to get...

Ok, I'm getting close to being done ordering parts, "close" is realitive... Anyway I am needing a new bumper, the one I had is broke, old, scratched, yellow... Anyway, I learned about 20 years ago that unless you want to go through servo savers every other run, you need a bumper. So any su...

Now I dont feel so bad, mine cleaned up pretty good so far but Im still going to try that bleach trick on them. They just sold some new A arms on E-bay, they were NIP, they went for $36.00, makes me glad I dont have to buy too much.

That is crazy I cant believe that works so good!!!

I bow to the masters

Nice, I'll keep that in mind when I start photographing, maybe I could just use some photoshop as well...

and the bleach wont make them brittle, I was worried it might?

Ok, I have been looking at the pics of many members cars, very very impressive a lot of nice work. and yes I am jealous of many of your collections. Anyway the question I have is almost every single picture I have seen it looks as if the white nylon parts are brand new, very white and clean. I am sc...

Thank you I'll take that sentence,

Its funny how many plans I have already started hatching in my head, now to start making them happen!!!

Thanks for the heads up guys, I dont have access to bst yet, so I will have to keep my eyes open on Ebay for now.

Has anyone ever ordered anything from PodiumRC? (its an overseas website) On their website they have the rear suspension mounts that I am looking for, but kinda pricey. If anyone has had any dealings with them and could possibly shed some light for me that would be great.

Thanks for the tip, I'll look into it, and let you know.
