When I was reading magazines about this I never knew they made pit stops for batteries and such.

*EDIT* with the right video this time. I'm failing using the youtube bb code, today. I actually installed an extension that makes embedding YouTube videos much easier, but the caveat being it causes all the existing ones to stop working. :? Also it seems that Youtube gives a different link when you...

An off the wall one I'm not going to link because it's got just a little vulgarity, is the video for the Drum and Bass track, "Joyride", by Amaro and Walden, which features animated characters cruising and getting into trouble around London in a Tamiya Wild Willy. Edit to hotlink an image ...

Last night I did my most anxiety inducing task, which was to trim the body. I try and leave extra material the the rough cut because I'm always afraid of trimming too much, but I had done the ends of the bottom tray years ago and must have taken too much because there isn't enough for the rear screw...

Clearly I favor the old racing videos.

My favorite in this is when Junior's car flies off the track and a spectator has to toss it back on.

Is the channel owner on here?

Bad link. This one should work.

Fixed.Not sure why it was wrong the first time.

From the description in the original post, I presume the awkward guy in the red shirt.

*EDIT* and the camera guy calls him "Kevin".

Found a video purportedly featuring Kevin Orton, in case you've wondered what he looked like.

So I thought I was done with eBay lazer when, while I had it up off it's wheels on the table, I noticed one front tire was lower than the other. I took the front shocks apart expecting to find a travel limiter in one but all I found was a score on the one shaft just below the lower e-clip, which doe...

Never content with just finishing a project, I went down the rabbit hole of the small bore velvet shocks and found that Team Brood sells brand new sets. Has anyone bought them? Pricier than I'd want, but I think the 80mm and 90mm match the lengths (if it's eye-to-eye) of the ZX-R shocks, and I would...

This weekend I finally put the threaded associated shocks together. I opted for the setup recommended in the article I linked in my last post, so I made use of the longer front shock bodies and my Rocky can keep it's threaded rears for now. It was also clear that a 1.32in shock shaft in the rear was...

Nope they did not , There are 2 ways rw and hyperclutch, rw racing has spurs for the lazer so i guess they can have it in smaller sizes with 8mm hole , hyperclutch change the frontplate of the slipper to use normal spurs i think la-118 or some thing There is an light weight version umw-305 i think ...

They have been for sale, the website is sold out now though. https://www.associatedelectrics.com/teamassociated/parts/details/6311-ASC6311-rc10cc_chassis_nose_plate_motor_mount_silver/ I searched a few times since they had the clear announced and nothing ever showed up. Did they actually have stock...

There is a reason why you don't see people flipping old chassis and re-anodizing them for a profit. It's time consuming, requires skill and experience and needs to push a lot of volume to make a good profit. I wouldn't be reselling. A $50 (?) premium for a non-scuffed, non modified, zero hour, all ...
