Did someone express a desire for one?

I'd crank that diff tight. You'll melt it with ease. I was on a much smaller motor and smaller tires and still destroyed a diff on its first power outing.

So build a vintage RC car, OR take your wife to see a movie, Batman v. Superman nonetheless... Man that's a tough decision, I wish I had your life...

More like enjoy the kids while you can, the cars will be there. When my kids were very young I had time to tinker with stuff a bit while watching them. Then as they were a bit older it was exciting having them help and start driving. I must say it is hard to compete with all the internet and electro...

The only way to remove the piston and rod is at top dead center. Carefully rotate the crank to TDC. 20180218_165915-1024x576.jpg Reach in with a finger and slide the rod out towards you, it may help to grab the top of the piston and bottom of the rod with your thumb and index finger so you can wiggl...

Got the body finished tonight!]

Sad Panda has gotten quite a bit happier Complete tear down and thorough cleaning. New old stock body , decals, driver's seat/compartment, shocks and wheels. Panda branded receiver and Futaba servo and 210 ESC. Front tires are a fairly good match to the originals and the rears are Hornet tires. Hard...

So like many on here I have too much time on my hands, a bunch of stalled projects while I wait for the postman and a bunch of bits laying around I thought I would try to salvage into something that ‘could’ run in the future. I am trying to not only use what I have laying around but also attempting ...

With the dogbone cup removed, it would basically look like a 3/16 version of a Traxxas axle. FWIW, Traxxas vehicles don't use crush tubes on the axles. You just can't run the endplay as tight. Also, the bearings on a Traxxas (5X11X4) are much more substantial.

Lots of cleaning solutions aren't safe for aluminum. Simple Green Pro HD (purple) is. Its the only thing that I use in my ultrasonic (other than water).

My ultrasonic is a Harbor Freight cheapie, works great.

Hey all, I picked up a High Rider II Corvette that came in a box with miscellaneous parts for a ridiculously good price. Going through, I think it is complete. I was going to use it as runner for my kids but it in in really good shape. Even the body is good with very minor scratches, some trimming t...

I was given this in a haul from ex-Team Associated, team Reedy and Team Novak driver Jimmy Davis fairly recently. He let me have a heap of Novak parts including the elusive white/translucent Novak NES-1A servo as per the Kent Clausen 1982 World Championship winning car. He told me he received two tr...
