I remember reading the advert for the bullet products. Wow factor there. The heat sink motor plate looks nice. I thought either kyosho or option house had a finned motor plate specifically for the buggy mids, but all I could remember is the spider motor plate. I totally forgot about the factory 1 wa...

Well, just off the top of my head, theres the finned motor plate spw2, lm-15 motor cooling plate, any kind of adjustable turn buckle from Kyosho or aftermarket, ball diffs....A&L trailing arm chassis,, A few different makes of shock towers.. Im not aware of any much else like top plates, or othe...

Rough crowd in here!

My 2nd hobby grade rc was a hornet. And, like above,, I thrashed it time and again. Used to race my friend who had both a frog and a royal ripper. My hornet ended with some kind of aftermarket body, paddle mud tires, similar front shock kit as this grasshopper,, but mine kept the plastic towers , ad...

That is a hard core grasshopper. All the best stuff of the day on there and a 540 to boot.

Bahumbug! I just got a big box of mid and lazer,, and no usable lazer front axle box!!! Plenty good mid stuff though,, and a turbo mid se instruction book,, plus a bunch more cool stuff,, but dangit, no lazer front box.

Yeah, my price comparison is based on finding that killer deal,, which does happen. Even with all the goods,, it dosent quite make the cut for "killer deal".

Yeah, I remember those! Oh boy, a rip snortin nitro engine bullying that draggy drive train into submission!

Oh dang, and I thought I had em all. Got pictures of the gpm?

No, thats ridiculous. Ive seen good runners for right around a hundred and twenty. Granted they are going to be USED but hey,, 950 for a toy thats not a MIB bruiser is not even realistic.

I was about ready to panic, then breathed a sigh of relief. At 469.00 thats more than twice what I just dumped on a vintage xx4 plus rally weapon and ton of spares. WHEW! Sure the new car looks much improved, but suggested retail is crazy. We must commend the folks at Team Losi for actually doing th...

Just wondering how many different frp chassis were available for the ta01 cars? I know of 3. Theres RW racing, HPI, and of course Tamiya. Any others? Pretty sure tek racing made an alloy chassis,may have been frp, not sure. Anybody else?

Was wondering just how well these old cars handle the power of brushless and lipo. Not counting the obvious busted suspension and shock towers,, but the drive train. Lots of stripped belts?

Oh, thats cool! So, an analog digitizer!

Couple of questions. First, what is a pin router? CNC? 2nd, What do you consider a good price on say, a 90% complete mid in used, but usable condition? By 90% I mean the body is probably junk, possibly worn gears, worn tires, but the mechanics all re usable. Curious because I also avoid high priced ...
