Sincere condolences; so sorry to read this Thumbs!!!

Welcome vonMarshall!! I haven't been here a year yet, but I came yearning for a 40th kit in box art on a shelf to look at. I learned about the 89 & 91 Masami cars, 4-10 kit evolution, and what a WOIN build is all about on this forum. Just those few items seemed to really crank up my RC10 fever a...

Thanks 1911Colt for the compliments and heads up on the A-arms! I thought hi-vis paint would fix my depth perception but nope, I can’t see it very well on the far lap Adding a rotated pic of the field/Mini bike track. There is a hidden but protruding manhole cover in the tall grass that I need to av...

Not today, but adding more upside down pics of my C2W painted.

Not long after paint I had too much fun and broke a front A-arm and we’re onto option parts and repairs.

Patiently waiting for Ultima parts, a little longer that I initially thought.

Great work guys! :D I also have a Raider that is not moving due to a broken dogbone. Have the following axles to compare/Pics Added: -Kyosho re-re 87 WC/JJ Ultima CVA's 61.5mm -Yeah Racing Optima Mid axles from alloy hub conversion (KYOP-019SP) 63.5mm -EXO Design Ultima CVA's 63mm -Xtra Speed CVA's ...

C2W custom foregrip from .125” black HDPE.

Test toast revealed that a weight bar with impact absorbing qualities may be handy.

Back to the Turbo Ultima to show with body removed. Now that the first scratch is over with; this car is way too much fun to leave on a shelf!! The 19.5T Lemans 240 motor is a nice match power-wise; it sure looks good keeping that front end light across the lawn! I had both wings torn off by end of ...

Another Kyosho….
2 tracks/groups locally that race MR03/MR04 box stock.
What the heck why not?

Thanks Colt1911! It is one of those situations you just know you've 'stepped in it' and there is no going back. It's a new day and I'm excited to drive the C2W after getting things working last night and driving in a few circles on the basement floor. 1. It needs more forward weight. The C2W battery...

Getting the C2W closer to running...photo to accompany the story. I've been weaving a tapestry of RC profanity over here. Don't ask me what I think of my R1 Wurks ESC. And now the story...I had this R1 ESC installed, bench testing stuff a few times, working great, cool, neat, wow.... At the time I w...

I remember Bozo being on before school....dreamed of going on there and being one of the little kids that got a $50 bill.

Can't remember why they got $50, but that was the memorable part of the show for me. They didn't hand out $50's on other shows!

.....potato guns/canons. Will not elaborate. Oxygen and Acetylene as fuel. Hands down. Ether, hair spray, mapp gas, propane.....none of them had the level of *CRACK* upon ignition that Ox/acetylene does. It started as sweet corn cobs over the freeway. One day we figured out a Mystic Grease Gun tube...

Hats off for following the path to build this!! Inspiring!!!

It is a stunning build and I love the nod to the Jeep Commanche!

Waiting that long for something you've lusted for; it has to bring a smile everytime you turn the lights on in the room.

Another fun memory of growing up was police scanners being more of a household item. Back then we had a larger Midland scanner where 10 lights flashed across the front and it took 10 frequency crystals. This was intriguing as you always had the inside scoop on what was happening downtown. Also my Gr...
