Hey guys, Been a long time since I posted something up on the forum. Today, I will share the resto I did on this near mint Turbo Optima Mid.

What the what what what?! That's what I thought too.... I have never seen or even heard of these before, but now that i have seen these pictures I can see how they might work. I bought them yesterday so hopefully they will be landing through the post soon so that I can try them out. I am presuming t...

It's been a while,
Just received the last bits for the chassis. Lid for the gearbox and correct nuts for the shocks.
Decals are ordered and finger on the buy button on the body.

Got the electronics and driver mounted. I hate painting those driver figures.

Since I used a vintage receiver, I had to mount it up front. There just isn't room in back.

And finished. Painted in Duratrax bright white.

Fantastic man, it's so awesome to see them succeed. This past covid event has been brutal all around.

A good day indeed. What a great story! ... Finally there was something I could do , with him over my shoulder we drew up his design in CAD (Fusion 360) and started 3d printing test components , today I watched him on my lath turn up the final component in metal to make it work ! ...

Its so difficult, as a parent, to watch your child struggle through something. But the struggle often makes the results much more worthwhile, and it sounds like everything has, and will, work out for the best. I look forward to future updates from the Dadio family!

KJLUnV-NCTM Just a brief vid from today. After getting the giant 1/5 custom monster truck done a few months ago my smaller 1/10 & 1/8 scale monster trucks I built have just been sitting on the shelf. So I took down one of my Clodbuster based carbon fiber chassis Hesse axle trucks and charged it...

After a few adjustments (to reduce the width of the inserts going into the shock towers), here is the result: https://i.imgur.com/xZM25Zh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/dwwIkhA.jpg Fit is perfect... Only thing left is to use another material to print the definitive parts. And I'll check as well how a Galax...

Hello all,

Glad to share in the joy of the hobby. This is an all original 1994 YZ-10 Super Dogfighter YZ-10 with original electronics.
Discovered recently during the pandemic, that this is the car shown on the bottom of the box.

On my latest gold pan build, I am putting a stealth trans into an "A" pan, so I thought I would just google a quick adapter as surely someone out there has made such a thing seeing as RC10 3D files are numerous, but for some reason, this does not seem to exist. :? Oh well, not a complex pi...

few more pictures

Some updates:

- Rest suspension now properly installed but not yet happy with the suspension movement
- Nerf wings from dirt burners
- Tomahawk battery tray
- Scorpion steering

Outlook:

Will try to build custom sway bars for front and rear. Plus more Tomahawk parts are on their way.
