First day practice video.....sporting the OG Paragon T-shirt. Didn't bust out the Whippoorwill T until day two....cuz I was nervous as heck on day 1, after so many years....didn't know if the set up, the reflexes and the eyes were still gonna work. Bobbles here and there and maybe pushing in the cor...
The Vaillante won the 1/12 race, although I suspect the organizer got this framed looking at the first curve events :-) The car handles great, and both configuration were running great, as long as we have the right tires (Kyosho Fantom wheels with the center hole redrilled to the right diameter is t...
Continued building some Tamiya rally cars... built up a TB01 with WRX body, and did the final detail work finishing touches on my TT01 Mk1 Escort. The Escort is all custom bits: - A good friend made the body and decals - Home-made or modified light buckets - Front grille and headlight details from s...
Being at this vintage meet-up/event I can vouch/validate......This car and the work Mark aka SilverTriple Designs has done is....just, Amazing! After all these years I was able to find out I can still, kinda, drive R/C cars, eyes and reflexes a little slower than when I was 14-18yrs. old....but I'm ...
In short, a very good weekend as usual, with a great atmosphere and top-notch organization (we won't mention the 4x2 GAS TT race scheduled for 11:00 a.m. (eleven: zéro zéro ;) ). But why, oh why not talking about the TT GP race start procedure 🤣😂😂??? 11:00 - Call for the participants, 3 buggys are ...
Good evening everyone, What can I say about this short two-and-a-half-day weekend (from Friday afternoon to Sunday)? I was happy to have been able to meet some familiar faces and, above all, to enjoy the warm welcome we always receive from the members of the center's Mini Racing Club. Thank you, Be...
I think I'll just leave everything packed up from Montlucon, throw it back in the car in June and head straight for Beleysanne!!!! My regret from this past weekend was not spending more time looking at all the cars you brought Trass.....the collection is amazing and I'll be sure to pass your table ...
On the sunday, there was less people, and most of the guys of the club wanted to try the pancar. This gave me the opportunity to gather reliability data with a quite intensive stress test... B6cmCqODlfg The car ran for about one hour and a half with a few pilot. One of the guys changed the diff sett...
More random photos from the run last weekend.....Just a great track and great vintage meet-up....couldn't have asked for a better group of people to drop the OG Lynx back on the track after so many years! Most of the people I raced with bitd have either passed away or moved on from this sport/hobby....
Looked in the shop, thought about cleaning up the cars from last weekends run....but realized I cleaned them up before I left and the next vintage race/meetup is only a couple weeks away. They'd probably collect more dust on the shelf if I took them out now anyway. :lol: 20250519_221952.jpg MHhyhZcS...
The print quality of the X1C was great... The H2D sets the quality to another level... This is an ABS print, and I never had such great quality with the X1C or the A1 mini... https://i.imgur.com/nii1xxk.jpeg This is an exhaust port I found on makerworld (I could have done the same, but was already d...
For those interested....timed run, "new" 2500mAh 6-cell SCR NiCd saddle packs, re-wrapped with updated retro shrink wrap, 15T Double Revtech brushed motor....6 min 30 sec run time...wish I had these packs back in 1988 :lol: 20240311_135036.jpg YTU6rgkJ.jpg RUN VIDEO HERE: https://drive.goo...
In 1990 Tamiya introduced the Mercedes C11 1/10 2wd electric on-road racer. As the first of nine vehicles based on their new Group C platform the C11 and all its paddock mates to follow would employ a molded plastic tub style chassis that featured the front and rear suspension from Tamiya's recently...
