Nice Tesla Lavigna! Not practical for SSouth Louisiana, but cool cars.

Had a couple of hours free time yesterday. :) Reassembled the gearbox with new diff washers and diff balls. Mounted the sliders using new inner halves in white plastic. 20241227_125554.jpg Also used the set of alu gearbox screws I had. 20241227_125511.jpg Continued assembly of the front end. Some li...

I traded a pair of 4750's several years back and have a set of Jrx2 tires on my new parts build TRX-1. So I was stoked to find a set of these. I don't know, I think they are pretty hard to find.

Ran a club day yesterday as a final shake down before or big vintage event at World Of RC Car was really good, TQ'ed the class in round one, played with some option tires in round two and didn't make better time, went back home with the girl I took to the dance in the A. Pushed my LiHV packs up to t...

Thru the beat out bag and the strange Korean mid-afternoon lighting, I hope they are identically colored, etc. Front to back though, nobody can look at all of them at once.

Sure, about 8 months to take it from mostly done to mostly'r done! Sounds about right! :D Finally got it worked out that I have a roll cage, so got that on, and got it painted up ............... although it is purple, but my phone is making it blue for some reason. Weird is that it is picking up the...

Hello! :wink: A XXT purchased to Teshreve, with a XXXT MF1 body that perfectly fits the car. As soon as painted, I will update the pictures. https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2025/01/12//25011204253225345818520187.jpg https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2025/01/12//25011204253325345818520188.jpg

^ That makes sense. I sort of figured as much but I wanted to use the shiny aluminum bones that I had. I really like how they look. Thanks for posting that picture. Good to know the part I need to make it actually work right. BTW I used JCRacing 2.2" wheels with Schumacher 2.2" rubber. I ...

Congratulations, you've acquired a gorgeous car. In your typical fashion, I'm sure it will be a meticulous build.

Do you happen to own the older F180 variant? That was a fascinating car, especially with its front disc controlled braking system.

Must be a Hamilton fan

Picked these up off eBay thinking they were interesting but discovered something else really cool about them. I worked at a major hobby shop about a block from their shop. I am going to reach out to my old employer and see if there was a relationship, as I believe there may have been based on the fa...

I recently picked up a Losi JRX-2 and along with the instructions it included this tech sheet that I haven't (yet) seen posted anywhere? Interesting maintenance schedules, and updates to parts. Has anyone seen Issue #1, or if there are any other issues beyond #2? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/sc...

We all know how unguided builds progress and morph. I dumped the Novak electronics path (will utilize those elsewhere). I traded the black wheel set for a bitchin' Hitec SP-1802. Not a hard of the hardcore balls-out racing ESC, but a respectable three wire, clearcase with unique appeal. The Dynamite...

Some second hand wireless Futaba receivers,
The modern stuff is so easy and tidy to install, got 3 x R204GF-E, and 2 X R404SBS-E,
Got a good deal on the package lot, at 9pm at night, and the guy dropped in my letter box by 7am the next morning.
Thanks Shane Oconner, top bloke
