My Wavechopper came complete except for a stand, so I printed one off based on the one in the manual.

I used it just buy bulk from Avid and have a huge stash of bearings for $1 a bearing but I got lazy and usually buy kits now too. I have used Fast Eddy and others. I am assuming the OG Tamiya wheels were a metric size, maybe Jay just shoved the SAE bearing in it to fit the axles back in day. Not re...

It worked, mostly...


A M3.5 screw is not a perfect starting point as the root of the thread is under 3mm diameter. But this will do it...

Happy 2025 New Years--and year of the snake! Wishing everyone good health and good fortune. I survived being a father for a year and celebrated my son's first birthday. Going to the bathroom and taking a shower, felt like my only retreat for myself at times. Many life lessons learned. Who needs slee...

Not a single original part is present on those pictures and was used. Differential internals are optima rerelease diff internals ...

I drilled out a set of Factory Works outdrives to fit my Trackmaster. The carbide drill bit was definitely necessary.

Oh wow, yeah it's hard to work those after hardending! Dang!

Happy New Year everyone. Best wishes for happiness and prosperity. My "good news" at the moment is that I've enrolled in school to get my contractor's license back. I had it back through the 90's and early 00's, but let it go when I tried to "retire" from the trades. Wasn't done ...

Quick details: -Factory Works custom made chassis -$30 per run (not counting repairs) -Aerotech G53 has been the 'overall' best engine -1.18s in 132ft...

This is my tribute build to the Original Racing Master 956 as featured in the 1985 Tamiya Guide Book. This car and the Toyota Toms 84c highlighted 1/12 on road racing in that book. I have the Toms on the RM2 chassis, but they’ve become so expensive so went looking for something also that I could fit...
