Here's little Rudy visiting the gardens at his grandparents' house...

Grabbed some stuff while it was available, not because I need it. RC version of "if you build it, they will come..."

Beyond happy to have received this. I didn't even know they came in purple from the factory.

Used to be a thing in the pits with some older guys bitd...comparing/bragging about diff buttery smoothness. "I just rebuilt my diff, give that a spin and rejoice in it's buttery smoothness." "Meh, still a very slight crunch. Check mine out!" "Wow, that's smooth!" Meanw...

Don't worry... I won't tell anyone...

So long as they're wheels for a 3/16 rear axle and not 1/4, yep, they'll fit. 3/16 x 3/8 bearings are used up front for both Losi and Associated.

Finally had a weekend without babysitting the MIL, so the wife and I day tripped to Yorktown, Va on Saturday. It was just a fun day out, but the camera phone surprised me with a couple of pics.

I installed the ball raced steering kit on one of my Cougars. At the same time, I installed the Factory Works steering rack, which was the only item Jeff makes for the Cougar that it didn't already have. I used my new caliper to make sure every turnbuckle on every one of my buggies was perfectly set...

My YZ10 box restoration can begin……

My list of 'must have' motors is getting closer to completion. It took a few months to make a Solid deal to get this one. It's a very nice running 9x2 and in the gently used condition that I prefer over new in package. I don't feel bad hooking this one up and making it go Vroom Vroom! . 1000014028.j...
