Well our big guy had ACL surgery Wednesday and is back home today, doing awesome. Just can't understand how we hurt ourselves (this is our 8 month old going for a car ride )

Decided to try to actually finish this one up before diving too deep into something else. Decided awhile back that I wanted to put some more red into it, so put some different Tekin electronics in it. Factory Works cut me a rear body post mount out of some red G10. Swapped the steering knuckles for ...

Mcallister Racing was started by Gary and Cathie Mcallister in 1984. They sold the company to Ross and Becky May in 2018 who continue to produce bodies and accessories for oval and on-road vehicles. The ad from 1989 featured Mcallisters MX-1 Outlaw Stocker, a 1/10 scale on-road race car released in ...

I added the stickers on the roll cage and wing, and we have the Galaxy RS complete! https://imgur.com/gnKPb25.jpg For the Galaxy, there is more work to do, as it has some very distinctive features - red parts, done - silver rims, done - Marui 360 RS (which I still need to model) - still to work out ...

Update: Its done! Of course I ditched the ugly font bumper, but it really doesnt look any different otherwise. It runs phenomenally though! I can see why these were such a hit back in the 90s. It honestly handles better than my Hornets, and is certainly better than a grasshopper. Its bouncy and sill...

I am slowly gathering parts up to enable me to build another car, which recently took a huge step forward with the discovery of some original chassis parts in a toolbox in the old Pb workshop. Everything for this car seems to be virtually impossible to find. If anybody else has some parts available ...

Whiffle wheels??

Not all today, or even this week. But I've been slowly breaking this neglected Frog back to life. Lots of paint and polishing.
Now that it's a roller, I can finalize body plans.

Been restoring mine and the Diamond 💎 One's garage over last 3 or 4th years...slow process!...used to run our mowing business and worked on full size boats and cars out of here for years....since the cost of living has gotten so high, we will never ever be able to afford any full scale stuff...ever....

On my build, I went with 4ws and I'm glad I did. I did use good servos, and mounted them behind the axles to cure the reverse Ackerman issue created by Tamiya front steer geometry. With 4ws I don't have any stability issues at speed. That said, I do add a little caster with the 4 links This is just ...

Stretch it out

You are correct, and thank you for the cells! I wasn't planning on putting any batteries in this rig, but you are right, some red Cadnicas will do just fine!

I need a forklift at home.

Had to remove these from a job site today and thought I’d bring them home to put in my way for the next ten years.

I completed the chassis... It's simple and the clear polycarbonate give it a nice touch of class...




Next, I need to model the Shkee DB-1 bodyshell...
