I can finally call this little guy done after stumbling across a sticker sheet. To my surprise it still works considering I've left the batteries in it for nearly 5 years :shock: It's still missing a few things like the front spotlights and bumper brace thingie, for which I'll maybe find parts one d...

The 4014 Big Boy was inside the UP Steam Shop after it’s run so I couldn’t see her up close but the static brother was just up the road so I got a few pics. Very impressive. 7B7B7D75-3F78-4CD3-A50F-5EBDA8217E8A.jpeg EC79D38A-06D1-4BA4-AE93-438E3FFA6986.jpeg 3FA1E4DD-6702-4BE6-BBB2-A143883301A5.jpeg

When I first posted up pictures of my bog standard 834b, which i gained in a trade and by my own admission is absolutely lovely, a couple of people pointed out it wouldn't be long until i built another more modified version to race. Turns out I immediately got the itch, and they were absolutely righ...

Mass-produced, and legally purchased, joints. In the Commonwealth of Virginia of all places.

BTW, not for my consumption.

Got this literally thrown in with a banana box of RC I bought off a local guy, was going to throw it out but noticed it had bearings and never tinkered with one before. Stumbled across a locally produced bodyshell in a rc shop clearance bin for NZ$10 and though why not see what I could scrape up out...

Body and paint went so-so. Have some things to correct, and decals are going to take awhile, so this is how she sits now. She is fully functional, with only one real mechanical issue. In playing around with the MSC and servo, I managed to install the horn nowhere near neutral, and it is probably abo...

Well thanks to some sharp work from a very skilled member of this forum I have managed to get an RC care package sent out to me whilst working offshore.... during a port call yesterday the lovely missus brought me some bits and bobs to work on whilst at sea. First up, a pair of funky and slightly in...

Well..... Dadio, take a bow. I decided i wanted to fit an old rusted up Thermador Swamp Cooler to this build, and so sent off some pictures of it to our local 3D printing guru Dadio. Here are a few of the ones i sent him.... b.jpg images (2).jpg c.jpg a.jpg He didn't let me down. Whilst he was worki...

Was looking through some older pics and ran across this one.

While unloading groceries, I came back out to this.
This picture was a couple years ago, so he is a little taller and a good bit thicker now.

The Mardave Meteor. This car was the focus of a series of mag articles over in the UK where a famous driver by the name of Greg Halliday gradually modified it in an attempt to compete with the RC10. This was the cheapest British car on the market, with the kit costing just 49.99pounds. Spare parts c...

Yet another "happy place in Steve-topia" pretty much finished 🙂 the gun room is about done. Only ones not on the new wall I built are a new tactical 12g which I'll be picking up from my FFL Mon/Tues & the home defense one which stays next to the bed. Everything is not only nicer lookin...

My first attempt at painting and decaling a body finished up today. Used tamyia fluorescent yellow and pink I think brilliant blue all backed with white. Custom colored mciracing decals. Not sure what to do on the wing. Not real happy with it and none of my decals look big enough. For now it stays b...

Got it running pretty good....50mph range. WARNING!(Sensitive ears don't watch video)
Dude laughing in Video is "theytookmythumb"

Nothing... Absolutely nothing

Hi everyone, I got some indication that my builds are highly detailed, and mentioned to someone I could eventually post about some other cars I build, and I'll start with the Super Hotshot. I build this in April-May this year. I will do one specific post for each parts bag, and then one with the bod...
