And here are the pics i promised. 3D printed main chassis and rear chassis plate (dont mind the strange artefacts in the rear side of the chassis, i dont know what happened in the slicing): https://hitecmods.kuvat.fi/kuvat/RC/Ultima%20RT5%20Service%20Pack/20211104_124916.jpg/_medium.jpg https://hite...

And after just about the worst paint job in my life (which is saying a lot), I can just about call this one done. :D This will be car #1 of a mid-80's 1:12 line up that I want to create with as many manufacturers as I can get my hand on. #2 will be a Kyosho Alta if parts ever get here, and #3 will b...

This legit, of course. But when I first read it, working in automotive, it sounds like a shop humor jokey diagnosis.....a clicking sound coming from the clicker assembly. Anyway....

So I was lucky enough to find a couple nip u820p ball raced steering sets a while back and this buggy never had a set so on they go. Front end mounted up ignore the blue nuts they’ll be changed to purple later

Rear end going on the chassis. I am using a set of used works rear arms off my original cougar rather that one of my nip sets and the rear bulk head was in mint condition so using that too. Adding a nip u859 rear anti roll bar set. 90BC11E8-7309-4B15-B3CE-92DB016C4D3D.jpeg And a new set of u1692 dri...

Midmotor (Laydown) parts. Mainly rear laydown bulkhead and waterfall brace. This was easy (bulkhead still needs some final touches): https://hitecmods.kuvat.fi/kuvat/RC/Ultima%20RT5%20Service%20Pack/REV7%20laydown%20parts.png/_medium.jpg Managed to implement support for sideways battery with chassis...

The package arrived today, and waited patiently I'm home to get opened... I'm please to say now that if have no more reasons to keep my active search for Marui Hunter or Galaxy on ebay and other sites, as here is what I received today: https://i.imgur.com/aYkECxb.jpg https://i.imgur.com/K8cd1mq.jpg ...

My first wooden RC car kit
The parts appear to be WL Toys based. Interesting kit for sure. Rainy day build.

Thanks Gav, It certainly seems like a genuinely enthusiastic and informative bunch from what I;lve read so far. Looking through everyone's builds has me spending a fortune in my head buying other kits that I wanted as a kid...man, I ran that Fox into the ground! Next time I'm back in the UK I'll ch...

Today I installed the Kyosho Le Mans 360PT motor, the very same model I had before so it was a nice moment. I mated it with a 13T pinion gear.

I envy those that aren’t forced to be on Facebook all day. If it weren’t a source of customers I’d have quit it a long time ago. How you use it is more dependent on you. If you want your family and friends to be able to see your builds, that’s a good place for them. I tend to keep my Facebook page f...

Glad I’m not the only one that has no idea about face book, but your a step ahead i me I still don’t have a Facebook account😳. My wife tells me I a stupid old bugger that’s missing out on a heap of stuff….. but really how many cat videos can you watch in a day No facebook. I know I am missing some ...

Beautiful Dadio, absolutely beautiful!
It's virtually indistinguishable from the original part.
Awesome work.

Attention! It’s time for the RC10Talk community build giveaway 😎 I have everyone’s name loaded in a picker wheel, and will go live tonight. I’m aiming for 6pm mountain time tonight 11/10, if this changes I will let everyone know ASAP. There were 293 entries, and I plan to do a last man standing so t...
