Started out with a blue jacket, thought I'd add the red seat belts, like the old baja's.


Ended up with the cajun ruffles guy instead.


Hope the helmet turns out well, and puts things back in perspective.

Thanks for that! I had seen that movie, not even that long ago, and had totally forgotten Peter Fonda's helmet. That movie must have inspired Bell to make their version. I was thinking I would use the stars as masks, and pull them off to reveal the white under the metallic blue. But the stars have a...

Hmmm... what was Jimnny's email address again?...

I would like to ask him about the corn cracking, and the reason for the apathetic song.

Part 3 might be available - tomorrow?

Wonder if the Parma bodies will ever make a comeback too. www.slotcarstore.net/pages/PARMA-RC-Bodies-T1622.html www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=48592 ...one email away from finding out if you can get one. Totally understand on taking artistic liberty's, it's generally a more fun way to travel. I s...

Thanks for the info on the bumpers! If I could find the Parma #10218 body, I'd go all out to make this as exact a movie car replica as possible. Going to have to take a bit of liberty with this Bolink body though :D. RJ Speed has all of the classic Bolink bodies again, so many good choices available...

The instructions for the Sand Scorcher recommend using a LiFe 1100mah battery. I had set this up to run a 3000mah LiPo shorty, but I decided to use a 1500mah LiPo instead. Ordered a 2010 reissue foam block to fit the 1500 stock size battery. https://i.imgur.com/sICvZsp.jpg Getting started on the dri...

Dhawk, sent me a very cordial letter today, filled with wonder and joy. https://i.imgur.com/qXZrnNO.jpg https://i.imgur.com/SeC9gPG.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ZMlDcPL.jpg https://i.imgur.com/tp3ugCi.jpg https://i.imgur.com/YGW9lp6.jpg https://i.imgur.com/p4UNdM6.jpg https://i.imgur.com/OQim8do.jpg Jimm...

Good call. The Porsche wheels are going to push that van to a whole new level of cool. :D With so many VWs on the market, I am surprised that there aren't more wheel choices available. My Beetle needs these: https://www.rc10talk.com/download/file.php?id=174501&t=1 I seriously can't believe no o...

Got the body post extension kit today for the front of the Tamiya M-08, got the ride height set with the magnetic mounts. https://i.imgur.com/NneVc1y.jpg https://i.imgur.com/yr1IQEK.jpg https://i.imgur.com/gsZhcP8.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Ippawtr.jpg I did open the HPI Porsche wheels, they were not c...

FWIW the original AE steering bellcrank is bright white and a much harder plastic. Fan RC is not the correct color. It's possible he did that on purpose or decided to use the same nylon as the other parts. AE_bellcrank.JPG That's all true and the original parts were not reinforced and were known to...

And check out the physical address 😉 https://www.rc10talk.com/download/file.php?id=174438&t=1 https://www.rc10talk.com/download/file.php?id=174437&t=1 Was just reading up on The Ranch Pit Shop. Thanks! Had a moment to compare the FanRC steering assembly to the mid-late Edinger nylon. No fla...
