Gathering. I still gotta dig some shock bodies out, misc. hardware, etc. Kinda floundering on replica vs. variation on the prototype...nothing is perfect I guess. Anyway. Still need to determine some rear hole locating (bulkhead attachment) for the battery box side plates. Plan is to get battery str...

Pan fried pork loin "chops". Whole house smells like hot oil *ss now though. Oh well, no worse than "bacon Sundays" I guess.

Yes, I remember laboring over this particular advert about the belt drive and hoping/wondering why more manufacturers weren't producing Traxxas hop-ups.....as an adult I realize that the "manufacturers" were more than likely thinking, "invest if you dare, but Traxxas is shite, and a f...

Paintwork should have "Impulse Control" splashed across body in a colorful, aggressive "font".

The internet is unusable without ad blockers! :roll: YouTube is literally unwatchable without them! That's half the problem with sites that don't work. They're too busy trying to throw ads in your face. The other half are sites that are trying to be all flash, shock, and awe, rather than functional...

The diff looks like the same unit as in The Cat. Interesting. This is the same case/diff/trans (options) that came with the initial issue Eagle and Radicator also. I think it's white ABS. The Eagle had the ball diff, out of the box, but the Rad 1.0, I believe, had the gear diff you describe. This i...

Rc related thing that irritates me: I just tried to buy a Traxxas Eagle LS-II on offerup. Had a deal with the dude and everything only to get a message "sorry, sold it to someone else". Cant win em all I guess. Wasn't meant to be, I guess. That sucks though. I guess the upside is you didn...

Soldered up some motor leads. Black Dean's mini pins. When did those hit the scene anyway? I'm shooting for late '96. Probably should have a different motor, but I can't give it up...

Sounds interesting

Well at least I was fully clothed, not Farmered out in my skivvies on the couch making kissy face with it.

29mhz Rx? That seems unusual. Is the ESC a Yokomo unit? eBay'd the Rx. It's a Polaris from the period. Realized when I opened the box....red antenna wire...29Mhz..oh well. Somebody musta used them, or they wouldn't have made them. But at the same time, maybe why I was able to find it so easily. I d...

Slammed up some electronics. Wing is a rando. Don't tell anybody but the wing wire is from a coat hanger...
