So that Futaba ESC that went up in smoke was 100% my fault. Reverse polarity is a bad thing. Oops. That's ok though, I really don't like the single speed reverse and wanted Lipo protection. The DS chassis setup is working pretty well... . 1000011036.jpg . ... until I see that it gives me too long o...

Well after rattling around a bunch of different paint ideas, and looking at Vintage Funco race buggies I decided on a simple paint scheme for my RC10. Didn't feel like dealing with liquid mask this time around so decided to do things like I would have done way back when, using masking tap and spray ...

Painted the wing and mounted up the body for my 870c. Gave up on trying to get paint into the sides of the wing and just ended up painting the exterior of it, doesn't look too bad, just less shiny than the body.

I've had a few people ask me what electronics I run so here's the list: -Hobbywing EZRUN Mini 28 ESC & 1626 SD 6500kv Motor Combo (part# 38020368) -AGFRC A06CLS V2 Servo 20T with aluminum servo horn -Fantom MVS 2.0 400mah 7.6v LiHV (part# FAN2629) -Mini RC Planet Spektrum DSM/DSM2 Micro 4CH Rece...

Anyone know the name of the condition, or sickness, that compels one to build the wheels first, with every model? https://i.imgur.com/CFTap5r.jpg Can't quit doing this. Cart before the horse syndrome? IDK but I did the same thing and I'm not even using the wheels right now. They're just so cool loo...

Not gunna lie I kinda like how the ivory parts go with the silver pan kinda wish i had the silver shocks though. Making those shocks match the chassis is pretty easy. Just have to be able to commit! :D I might do that with the older set of shocks I have if I decide to go to longer front arms and sh...

Looks cherry. Did you purchase the silver pan separately? What ESC/motor/servo are you going with? This is going to be used in the Silvercan Class so it's a Tamiya Sport Tuned, Novak GT7, and a Spektrum S6040 servo. This is stuff I pulled off of cars I'm currently not running. Also I've adapted the...

Got my 40th built as a runner. just need to add electronics and my wheel conversion. Not gunna lie I kinda like how the ivory parts go with the silver pan kinda wish i had the silver shocks though.

This is a replica I am doing using all vintage parts....it's replicating an Ultima the Diamond 💎 One raced in the 80's....the chassis was a beat up pile I restored, along with the TrackMaster tranny...it will be a slow process, but here's the start 20240514_150703.jpg I like that transmission, such...

They said they are in the works, they actually emailed me to confirm I knew the B6.4 body would only work on the 6.4 not any of the early chassis.

"They" go by lots of names. This is the main pic they put up when they introduced their "anodized" chassis. Anyone see an issue (outside of the "anodizing")? https://scontent-iad3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/441046478_416708941174243_2720720121038564663_n.jpg?stp=cp6_...

That is what it's all about. $379 is a bargain to be able to build your childhood kit It's a shame we'll never get that chance from Horizon/Losi as it seems they're dead set on making RTR kits and discontinuing things a year later. Not to say I don't enjoy the Mini JRX2/T but both of those are alre...

The numbers have no bearing on each other but it might be a fun game to play. Who's order number is closest to their Chassis Number? I had Order 2152 and Chassis 2188 only 36 off

This means 4444 exists, and I kinda want it.
