Not exactly today, the dust is now settled... Yesterday, I spend a nice day in Belley, during a vintage event "La Belleysanne 2014" organized by the local club. The event was 40 minutes ride from my home, and the load did not include as many cars as within Montluçon twoo weeks earlier... I...

One of the few scratch builds of Evage, one of the guys from rc-vintage.com almost local to the meeting...

You may see it on his table with others of his work....

8 cell battery and a modified motor in a pan car chassis. The Cobra body is definitely appropriate. Very nice!

Made front carbon fibre arm reinforcing plates. Also polished the pivot balls which helps a lot. The arms have been re-hydrating in a jar of water for the past four weeks to stop them cracking when reinserting the balls. It seems to have worked. The strut extensions have also been remade in 2mm G10 ...

This week-end was busy. Yesterday I build a gaming computer for my son instead of working on my cars, and today there was another vintage event at about one hour and half drive from home... I was there at 9 this morning with my son to set the my stand... https://i.imgur.com/t4UQTY1.jpeg https://i.im...

While it definitely isn't "chrome", I use Duratrax Silver Streak on bumpers and such. It is metallic and reflects well in sunlight (its overcast today, so...). https://www.rc10talk.com/download/file.php?id=174630&t=1 It also works great as a neutral backer. That does look good. Spaz S...

My Father's Day gift to myself.

The completely dry lexan scrap, with the Revell painted side facing outward, notice the mirror like reflection. https://i.imgur.com/fS5WZQJ.jpg Severely folded and twisted the scrap - Revell did not lose adhesion or make a dent in it. https://i.imgur.com/uewzk2A.jpg I'm convinced Revell is durable e...

Front bumper and underguard made from Kydex. It's based on a Pro 10 bumper. It'll do a good job of protecting the pivot ball screws.

Factory Works steering fitted. Thanks Jeff! Still have to get turnbuckles of the right length. Stickered up reveal shots. I won't use the Coyote wheels and tyres on this build. They're only in these shots to prop the car up. I will use black wheels though.

Wife gave me an old storage bin she wasn't using so I figured I'd try it to store motors in. Holds them perfectly, so I ordered 8 more bins online. 550 cans are too big for the 18-compartment config, but I'm sure I'll think of something.

I finally "binned" some of the ESCs in my collection. Only ones missing are probably 25-30 stock Traxxas/Duratrax/Futaba/Tamiya ESCs.
