Oh, I'll definitely run it at least once. I just picked up some new front tires/wheels for it, so I'm not even worried about the current dry-rotted ones disintegrating on me! The backs are not even correct, so I'm not worried about those - I can burn them up!

Resurrecting another old project thread as I have been wrapping up some long-dormant projects, I've finally gotten my graphite buggy pretty much done. I might try to track down a Protech II for it, as I'd like it to look more original, and have to figure out a motor/electric plan. I was originally g...

Thanks guys! I'm really excited how it came out. I'll eventually track down the last bits, but for now, I'm happy. I am thinking of putting in some electronics and getting it out for for a gentle final run before it goes on the shelf permanently, but I have to find an appropriate place around here.

Hey all, nothing like resurrecting a decade old project and chain, but after largely stepping away from RC due to life (new jobs, long commutes, travel soccer, etc..) I finally used the lockdown to get back on track, and "completed this one. Ok, complete is relative, as it could definitely use ...

I've used the Flysky B, and would agree with some of the above. For just bashing around, it was more than adequate, no issues. When I took it to the track a few times, it was pretty frustrating. I picked up a Hitec Lynx 4s the other day, mostly because it was the cheapest way to get a left hand swit...

Sorry for the non-response last week, was travelling. The LI track actually moved, so it's in Lindhurst now (same general area - website link below) - I'll be there next Sunday - my munchkin is having his 9th birthday party there - they do a cool package with short course trucks for a couple of hour...

Thanks - I was able to get the rear tower, and it has one of the spacers (I think - it's an odd shaped piece, 'bout an inch long with two holes, so sounds right) - will need to find, or make, a second. Makes sense on the assembly/spacing front. I was just building a re-re RC10, and had to do much of...

Sweet! Any chance of posting some pictures of the chassis/suspension with the body off (the new body looks great on it by the way)? From what you can see through the holes in the body, it looks amazing!

Nah, it sort of died there. I took a new job about that time (in NJ) and between the new job, commute and kids getting older/busier, I fell off the RC radar myself. Never completely stopped, but cut way back until the last year or so. I did find the off-road track out in Farmingdale (Island Raceway ...

as I read my post - I wanted to clarify - I'm not trying to imply anything negative about the LHS - they are fine, always friendly, and my only complaint is that it's pretty heavily geared towards both RTR & Nitro - I just mentioned that to show just how far the hobby has changed around here tha...

It's definitely a change - my 8yr old has been paying attention to "what Daddy does down in the basement" :shock: And asked if, for his birthday, he can "build a car with me". Pretty cool, but, well... then he's going to want to actually drive it. I may have 20+ cars, but I'd be ...

Ahh, makes sense - didn't think of that end of things! Thanks!

quick question on the front arms - from what I've seen in other threads, these should be approx. the same length pin-2-pin as they Klein/Dynotech front arms, at 60.3mm, correct? Any reason they wouldn't be basically interchangeable with a truck front end setup? "dynotech front arm specs. center...

The body is perfect (except for the paint, hopefully I can get it off, but if not, I'll polish it up, and live with it - the wing is pretty beat, but maybe it's fixable. The whole care is dirty, but well maintained - should be mostly a clean up & tune project.

Well, not quite "in the post", but there was a post office around the corner from the guy I bought it from, so close enough! Always had a thing for the 1/8 on-road cars, and now am apparently well on my way to a collection of them, between this and the 500 I picked up the other day...
