I found Pukka Parts on Facebook, with this SRB conversion kit. It's more or less an MIP style setup.

Really nicely done stuff, a combo of frp and printed parts.

Excited to receive this gem of a Kyosho Pro-X yesterday. Been waiting about 3 years to find one of these that didn't cost a fortune to go along with the Pro-XRT.

Have not been documenting, Technique This technique seems ok for my skill level. I cast what I am calling a fiberglass slipper. It conforms to the surface well, but is still thin and flexible so it can demold without cracking like a stiffer mold would. I then make sure I can demold it, then reinforc...

Ok-ok.

Well how about this Slot Machine I was hoping to easily "fix".

*Sigh*

RIP poor motor.

Whilst part of the world celebrates the ancient Chinese tradition of fireworks ( :P ), here in Downunderville we're having what was supposed to be a *record mild winter*, you know, due to Global Boiling and all that. So, here's a picture of Señor Pooch, taking in a zero degree morning earlier this w...

A pair of these , £12 delivered , no branding or side wall lettering but I'm still happy at the price . Anybody any ideas of what they are ? IMG_20240706_213236_267~2.jpg Maybe? These? They sure look like the same ones, but I rarely really know what I'm talking about. :lol: Screenshot_20240707-0545...

Oh sweet, sweet baby Jesus. I could go on for days about some of the stuff that drives me up the walls in the world of R/C. - Painted chassis parts would have to be my biggest. Why? WHY????? Ugh. - Botched hardware replacement? I've seen ppl rebuild with giant, oversized self-tapping screws?? Argh! ...

Cutting down body posts to make them the minimal height needed. Oh they're just cheap body posts. Just replace them if a different body ever needs them to be longer. :roll: Only my personal preference... I always cut my posts down to fit the body. I just can't stand the way it looks when people lea...

Just got a 2nd older SWB meteor for my son + some parts from mardave while I'm in the UK.

This one has a bust shell, a bust rear shock and a bit of corrosion.

Will be replacing all the hardware, swapping to an ESC & tidying everything up.

Here's another shot of Rudy being quiet and unassuming.... What you can't see is that he's lying directly on top of a hot water bottle!! Guess the poor little blighter is feeling the cold a touch....

This seems like a thread with a lot of regret items in it: https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=2329 Maybe it should be renamed "The Hall of Regret" :D ...which reminds me, I found a couple more pictures to add to it. :lol: Faded dyed nylon parts , your only choice is to dye them agai...

my 10yo son and his wild one we built together over several weekends..

From the late '80s I believe as it came with this 1988 World Engines catalog: https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=49689 It's incredible to me that some of these documents are still around, in the condition they are, and altogether. worldenginesapp1.jpg worldenginesapp2.jpg worldenginesapp3.jpg
