Re: Things that irritate you

Childhood abuse of every kind. The night terrors that come with it and deciding to not sleep as much as I can to avoid them. Self imposed insomnia.

Re: Tamiya Blackfoot , Monster Beetle, Mud Blaster, build tips for you

Man, I was just complaining to a friend about the ridiculous amount of bump steer my freshly built re-release Monster Beetle had. Tried your trick of installing the ball studs on the underside of the servo saver and POW! Gone! You've made my day. I must say that the MIP ball diff was probably the be...

Re: 1986-2005 RC Car Action Archives

I've tried all the links in this thread...the issues on internet archive I have on PDF, I have a lot of paper issues, but I'm missing from 1989 to 1994.
Has anyone got a working pdf link for these issues?
Thanks!

Re: Post Pictures of your Losi Vehicles

These are 90% of my Losi buggies, the Heavy Metal body is mounted on a XX4 WE. Need to finish painting my BK2 & Junior T and do another shoot with the trucks. If anyone knows where I can get a Dodge Stratus body to replace the monstrosity on my new built IWC Street Weapon, I'd love to know... 10...

Re: Turbo Mid Score

Some fresh photos. It baffled me why the White Mid's decals didn't sit straight, I wasn't having that! After some sectioning they're much better. The platinum shocks on the SE are brand new, factory filled with oil and not an air bubble in sight, just perfect! Expensive and a real mission to find. B...

Re: Turbo Mid Score

Those are some awesome Mids. Well done sir!! 8) The alloy wheels look very nice. They appear to have been polished (or plated?), did they arrive that way? Thanks! The wheels didn't come polished, but it only took a minute with some Autosol to shine them up. I bought a set of stock rims, now I can't...

Re: Turbo Mid Score

Well, the SE is done! Just waiting on some decals. Here it is...(please excuse the gold shocks in the 1st photo and the double posting?) I bought some alloy wheels. but a set of factory wheels came up. so I had to buy those, too, of course. I'll probably run the factory rims. I installed a KO servo ...

Re: Best Kyosho Score In....?

I had a moment of weakness and picked up a Turbo Optima kit. I now have a gaggle of Optimas. The SE build is getting really close, new chassis, arms, uprights, upper chassis, belt covers, bumper...but boy I am in need of some platinum shocks. If anyone has some? 20210410_172043.jpg 20210410_142803.j...

Re: Losi TEN T SCT NITRO!

Search A Main or fleabay for Ten T arms. Identical. Do the Traxxas EZ Start conversion. The final drive gear will strip in the Losi system. You have to dremel a little off the crank button, I'll pull my truck down and shoot photos, if you want. There used to be a youtube video on how to do it, but I...

Re: Best Kyosho Score In....?

The "new" Turbo Mid is such an origional car. Only needed a gentle wash and the shocks cleaned and topped up. Here it is, before and after a 30 hour 11 am-7am 30 hour "rebuild". I love it. My white Mid is coming along, need to solder the motor wires on, but I was exhausted. I tri...

Nice score!
I would have just slipped him $100, $60 is criminal.
Those cars drive and jump so well.

Re: Best Kyosho Score In....?

Think I'll sell the box, catalogue and the Optima wheels with the Dunlop tires. Anyone know what they're off. I think he might have had tape on them, or traction compund-the tread is a little sticky, but nothing some Goo Gone won't fix. As for the other Mid that slipped in, well. New Zealand is a ma...
