Hell is an accurate description. Great progress in the last 4 days. I suspect the body will be dust if it ever arrives.

Tower (Horizon) double charged my card when they shipped my backorder recently. They requested a copy of my card statement and it took about 3 weeks for their accounting team to sort it out. Disappointing...

Perhaps you have heard the news stories about problems with the USPS, especially in Georgia?

It's like a ping pong match.

The struggle to get a TQ10 body delivered is real...

A little more progress today. A trusty S148 servo mounted and also the antenna holder. A TBG body is also now on order.

Worlds rere runner (The first RC10 I ever drove ).

Mine isn't an exact original, more original themed car.

Very nice!

Scored a clean stock motor on Ebay. 20240302_102038.jpg Shame that the label is not visible once installed, but looks more at home than a Trinity motor. 20240302_102614.jpg 20240302_100200.jpg Protection installed. 20240302_103242.jpg And for the first repro part on the project. I'll probably use a ...

Congrats! :thumbup:

Forum image attachments acting strange, so editing this a bit. New in bag TQ wheels that came back to the US from Germany several years ago. 20240223_193455.jpg Instructions included with the TQ wheels. 20240223_193634.jpg On a roll as a roller. 20240223_195142.jpg New in bag TQ tires! 20240223_1954...

Thanks! Dang pleased with it so far and have stuck to my plan to restore it without any re-re parts.

The rear hole patch is not perfect, but it is presentable.

Thanks! I decided to forego painting, but did apply a low gloss clearcoat I have on hand for HO slot car bodies to clean up some sanding scratches. It turned out pretty decent . Fairly glossy when wet. 20240222_192243.jpg But loses some gloss as it dries. 20240223_165016.jpg 20240223_164945.jpg Time...

I did some digging when I first got it, but did not find anything. I agree, it has a familiar appearance.

The undoing will just be a sticker swap.

Would love to find one of the chevy sportside bodies.

This is a Jeep Commanche that came in Ebay lot years ago. I've been planning on "converting" it from an Optima to a Jrxt at some point.

I used Autographics #103. They look "right" to me.

Started sanding on the epoxy and it is looking better. I'll have to do another skim coat prior to final sanding and then I'll decide if I need to paint the chassis. 20240211_100455.jpg 20240211_100510.jpg The arms and hinge pins are cleaned up and ready to go. 20240211_110231.jpg And I cleaned up a ...
