Cut and trimmed a TBG Pro-Line Vision body.

I'd be tempted to leave it unpainted. It looks great as is!

Got my brother a surprise gift, Traxxas Blue Eagle LS, truck he had 30 yrs ago when we were kids. Along with a Novak Rooster which hasn't arrived yet. I'm keeping the Duratrax Powerline though.

Hey, everybody! This is my first post on the board. I figured it would be appropriate to share some photos of my Losi XX. This is the form it was in circa 1995 when I stopped racing. It has just followed me around through multiple houses and garages ever since. I gave away, sold, or threw away all o...

A few action pins

Many many thanks to Chris (1300GT) for machining up a set of aluminum axles for me. They fit much better than the crappy steel ones and shave off 7 grams. 20231028_085916.jpg Some pretty high end electronics going into it..... XR10 Pro 17.5 combo with Zombie 6000 Shorty 140c/280c and extra large cap...

I hate painting bodies as I suck at painting, it's good from far but far from good. I don't know if my Tamiya tape was old or what but I suffered a lot from edge bleed, the tape felt a little different then I remembered it. Maybe it's time to try a different tape. I should learn to use liquid mask b...

Whoa. Still can't believe I found a pair of these. Panic bidded myself up and was the only bidder. Must be a lull in TCP parts hunting...

Sweet! I don't have a set of those yet either.

I found a weird set of the stock TRX3 front arms a while back, must have been an early run or something.

Here's a little mod that I did to overcome the sloppy hinge pin holes in the +/- 1 degree mounts to give myself some tuning options. Very simple but it works. 20231030_221917.jpg Nearly finished the truck tonight, just gotta decal it up and it's pretty much done :D I dug this thing out..... 20231030...

My RC10T team car with Kinwald inspired body

In keeping with tradition I'm making a thread on my latest Yokomo build, thanks to the work of Cheng Fan's amazing reproduction parts, some new old stock Yokomo parts, some old parts including some that I actually used in my 870c as a child from the Alex B parts bin, MCI racing, penguin bodies and s...

Shocks are vintage associated 0.71 for the front and 1.02 for the rear. I only had some blue anodized shock caps in the parts bin so these were given a quick rub down then primed using Tamiya plastic primer and them painted with a Tamiya black. The white plastic parts are from FAN RC, but I've since...

For this build I will be using original Yokomo parts where I have them, in the case of the front and rear shock towers I managed to get a NIB ZC-710S front tower, the rear is one I ran on my original 870c back in the day, which from recollection was a genuine Yokomo part. As you can see from the pho...

The bumper is homemade from 3mm 'kydex' I used a heat gun and wooden spoon handle to achieve the bend. It is grey because I ordered white kydex sheet but was sent grey, either that or I'm colour blind :shock:. I've used a nylon bulkhead for mock up purposes but I'm waiting on some FAN RC aluminium o...
