Re: Ducati Riders?

This is my 1989 Yamaha Fzr400 , bought it a year later as a leftover model . I haven't ridden it in about 2 years , someday I'll give it a tune-up and get on the road again . Would like to get a Ducati 748 or 916 one day , but am worried about the rocker arm issues . Its still on my wishlist though ...

Re: Flea Market Pick-Up

Oops , sorry scr8p , better pictures would help identify the cars . Here pictures of the two on-road cars and the rc10t . Looks like they have been sitting in the garage or outdoors for awhile , most of the screws on the underside are completely rusted . The 10t does have Rpm rod ends , transmission...

1/8 Scale Bodies

Went on a trip to the hobby shop to find a body for my clodbuster and saw these sitting on the counter . Yes , I know they wont fit on the clod :D but they were marked $5 plus an additional 70% off . Being an F1 fan and cheap , I couldnt pass them up at $1.50 each even though I have no idea what the...

Re: HPI RS4 Pro

This is the RS4 Pro I bought when it first came out , later added the 2-speed transmission and belt tensioner . Here a picture of the RS4 Pro and Pro 2 with some upgrades , another difference is the Pro 2 h...

Re: My $3 Truck

Almost done , just have to paint the bottom covers . I used the electronics that came with it and took it for spin . Runs very well and picks up good with the slot machine motor .

Re: jay halsey replica (updated)

Wow , nice build . How do you get the front hole for the body perfect like that , because the body post comes out at an angle I never get it right . End up with an oval or a large hole in the body .
