Made it back to Oregon for a visit. A view south along the Maxwell Lake trail in the Eagle Cap Wilderness. That little rock half-dome way up-drainage is "Eagle Cap". Little bit of "regional haze" (I call it smoke). It's fire season out dare in dem woods don't cha know. download_2...

I like to run my r/c cars at night, so I need to add lights to my Javelin...

Working out a part for the front


Test print in progress, results later...

The plan this time is to build another runner car and I've just uploaded some part designs for printing -- for the first time. To date, every part I've gotten from printing services has been someone else's design so I'm new to the process. We'll see how this goes but so far, so good. The first item ...

Got a lot of laughs from this thread. Thought I'd revive it. Not Craigslist, but still funny. Guy is asking $500 for a brushed 2wd Slash. Against my better judgement, I let him know that his truck is $269 new from Traxxas. He then claimed to get $900 for his Slash, and blocked me. :lol: :lol: :lol:

This isn’t a RC car but also too funny not to share

I was touring Facebook and Andy (yes, that Andy) posted this beautiful pup needed to be rescued. So I tortured over it (we havent had a pet in nearly 20 years) and went to pick her up. A lovely Husky (I think a little Malamute mixed in) with gorgeous crystal blue eyes. She hopped right into the back...

Sorry for the long delay on this project but things around the house took priority. MCI decals were of very good quality and will definitely order more from them soon! Tedious part was taking the time to closely trim all the decals but makes a much cleaner result. IMG_20210515_184417_copy_1632x1224....

I have been practicing with my airbrush and tried to get this one done for the BOTM but it didn't come out as well as I was hoping. I plan to pick up another body and give it another go with what I have learned tho. I did a snake themed paint job on my Tamiya Sand Viper. It has potential but the mas...

This happened two weeks ago but I’ve been slacking. Looks like it was broke early on and they never found a replacement hub carrier. Custom works to the rescue. Just need a kingpin and she is golden. This was purchased from my old local hobby shop which makes it even cooler. 3D3C7E4E-679F-4CB2-A1C4-...

Browsing TLR's website to get ideas, I happened across this image, and was wondering what was going on with the very vintage electrics. http://www.tlracing.com/ProdInfo/Files/TLR03022-chassis1.png This was on TLR's page for the 22 5.0 Elite DC kit, due in September. http://www.tlracing.com/Products/...

So a little progress..... the build has morphed into a MkI with the discovery of some early parts..... and it has certainly attained a rusted-out rat look too. I am still working on some of the 'aged' details, but have recently added some vintage decals which i have worked over in-situ and seem to w...

Today I received a part for my Outlaw Ultima project that was graciously donated by Factory Works (a.k.a. GoMachV).
Thank you Jeff for answering my many dumb questions and for your commitment to the vintage RC hobby.

Some of my slot car collection

I try to build everything with the intention of running or racing it at some stage, although i don't actually make it to the track very often at all. The intention is there though. What is strange for me is those cars I cherish the most and will be reluctant to run again until my driving skills have...

It's ORANGE ! The fish is shocked and the duck hates it , I like the colour though . Wasn't orange for very long lol. The first thing I do when I get a new car is buy a clear body to paint. I just never liked having a body that everyone else has. So I sold the stock body and painted up this one for...
