My dog and cat fornicated. It was a bit confusing. My wife and I had quite a discussion over what "style" it was...

Thoughts on a really cool litespeed style heat sink for the Kyosho Optima re-release?

Thanks Mark

Yes, yes it will. Got it fired off for the first time. It ran horrible, but it moved. Accelerated, braked, steered. Got up to temp and seemed fine. The previous owner tells me it's the first time this car has moved in 17-20 years. It's kind of incredible to me, after seeing what condition it was in ...

So I picked up a couple vintage super champ buggies recently and decided to use the best off of both for one nice rebuild. The one in these photos was definitely the better of the two and the one for the bassis of the build. I kept a couple things off the other one but not much.

I have a few Super Wheelies to rebuild, and some of them have broken roll cage. I ordered 3 complete set of accesories to complete the superwheelie bodies. https://i.imgur.com/VkFESav.jpeg The target is to rebuild : - One Black CJ-7 for my daughter - One White Land Cruiser - One Blue Land Cruiser - ...

I am not sure how much my wife paid for this tug toy for one of the dog's Christmas stockings, but the fact that it makes each of us laugh every time we see it 3+ months later, makes it easily one of the best investments we have ever made! :D It is always moving, so surprises us every time! edit jus...

Posting up a cool oddball this month, an early eghties Kyosho Toyota Hilux. You could get three versions of this platform, the Sand Skipper, VW Baja Bug and the Toyota Hilux. Special featsures of this platform is the gearbox with centrifugal clutch and pnaumatic tires inflated with a syringe (you c...

It's not July 4th yet, but the aliens are coming in a little early this year. Alien space ship cloud rolling in on the horizon.

Some fine West German craftsmanship- the Robbe Mescalero

It's a little smaller looking than a 1/10 but that's what it was considered. Very light, and the chassis is quite fragile. I actually didn't need another one- I have one in kit form that was missing the box. Now I have a complete kit in the box and one for the shelf haha. I do have the "drive t...

Here is my Mercedes, which is missing some of the small pieces. I did round up the chrome kit for it, but still missing the lenses.

I don't think it would be a hard model to make at all, it's very simple. I just don't think it would be very popular either.

I'm missing the Rx for both the Kyosho and Tamiya, ordered them both a while ago and those are the last thing that hasn't shown up. The motor and the front chrome wheels should be here tomorrow. Like where the battery box is located on the Kyosho. https://i.imgur.com/B77W6Lp.jpg https://i.imgur.com/...

Yes, Chris sent me that Manx mold. It carries a part number and fits a Mini T but was never put into production

Thank you for adding me. I looking forward to participating. Been in the hobby for over 30 years with the occasional break from live and ex wives etc lol. I am a Tamiya collector but have always wanted to build an RC10. Recently I was able to pick up 2 cadillac ave gold pans at a decent price and st...

I've been procrastinating a lot on this. Paintjob requires two things : paint, and good weather. Today was the day :-) I have two bodyshells. I only took care of one of them today. The second will be more complex in terms of design, and would not rely on most of the stickers... For the first one, I ...
