Well I am glad the thread helped me, and those of you that gained some insight as well.

Now, my question as far as these being used, when did Delta Stop using these? I know they were not on the Electric cars (Villian & Phaser) nor were they used on the Fireball.

Thanks again,

They were originally used in aircraft construction and are called High-Torque fasteners. There is a special driver used to install them and it is a very secure connection between the screw and the driver bit. These fasteners are not very easily found anymore but sometimes show up. Thanks, that help...

Brown Tool makes them.

I am looking to find out what the history behind the non-typical Delta only "Concave" Slotted screws is. Were they available in certain grades, etc...

Thanks,

Holy cow...someone is selling one of those lexan cars with a rocket motor on it. No, seriously.

Man that is awesome, and if I am not mistaken that is a Mclaren M8A body. Really nice, great find.

Here is my contribution, pretty interesting read - seems like a bad Google Translate.

Man that is so awesome, and as stated before welcome aboard. Thanks for the writeup and pictures.

Just curious, I had raced on VRC years back, when you could race off-line. Now I have checked it out to maybe give it another go, yet I am curious as it seems to no longer support offline racing. Anyone in the know.

Thanks,

Happy Birthday

Who remembers this, man I watched this so much back in the day. Man never forgot the Cheesy guy that "moderates" this: Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFsXQa7KkXM&feature=plcp Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpbXzTwCtMI&feature=plcp Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Happy B-Day, and many more still to come.

I am with you too on this, they all started to look like those rear engine full size crawlers (if you take the wing away - ta...da...). I wish and maybe I am in the minority that the buggies would stay the way they were - "rear seaters". I have said this before, but this reminds me of when...

SG Gemini ? perhaps - I get a bit confused sorry

I know Graupner sold a version I think it had the moniker SLX as well, and came with a Schkee style body. Had red wheels

I am curious, besides Chris C. Steve was my favorite Radio Control Car Action Editor, etc. enjoyed the articles and contributions.

Anyone in the know?
