New axle arrived today. Top force is now complete. On to the next problem.

4wd racer would be next level!

I plan to put a nice shell on it, but it needs something wheelie-rific too. I have just the beater for that...

Another rainbow. At one of my daughter's band competitions this evening. Unfortunately, it was a different school on the field at the time. It was the host school though, so cool for them.

Sphere Las Vegas

Similar concept to the "frogshot" mod used on blackfoots (blackfeet?) and frogs. Should work well!

This Hirobo project is not finished, and today I got one more reason to trigger the rebuilt of my 44B chassis... A few months back, I did a CAD model for a bodyshell for the 44B Hilux.... https://i.imgur.com/2S3jOEo.jpg I believe the 210 mm wheelbase makes room to use the body on M chassis with some...
