Small updates, front shocks are from a 1:14 truck, oil filled, threaded the shafts a little more to fit inverted on the front, m3 screw under the mounting, ans a sway bar ball fitting threaded on top. This allows us to use an oddball turnbuckle i had lying around from a tamiya set, helps to stiffen ...

Time to add the wheels. There is pins and hub on rear axis as well, probably because that's the way they thought it would be easier to remove the wheels... https://i.imgur.com/O8rtpyU.jpg And then, it was the time for the roll cage... There is a lot of screws. Everything lines up perfectly... https:...

XX CR style rear hubs underway. Down to a chassis, steering and steering cap. I haven't been working on it the past couple weeks as (like many of us here) I have 40 other projects ongoing.

Little preview of what is coming…

I'm younger than you are, so that definitely has some relevance. Even though I was always a RC10 fan, I always had a liking for Trinity motors. Seeing that the mid/late 90's was the Losi/Trinity heyday, it kinda makes sense. Add in the colorful motor variety, all the big name racers using them, and ...

My dream motors, that I never had the money for, were all the Kyosho motors..loved the red, blue & green colors. I finally got a nib 480t last year that is my precious. My go-to motor when I was racing was the first Slot Machine..that’s what the track gave out and it was a great, consistent moto...

I didn't have a Clodbuster but felt like the MM set was a bargain way to get 2 mods cheaper than buying 2 separate mod motors...

Not too bad!

I recently picked up what for me for a long time in my youth was the motor of dreams , the Tamiya (Mahuchi) RS-540SD Black Motor Sprint :!: Great motor! I have the blue end Endurance version in my 956. 20220419_190430.jpg When I was younger, I just loved the Le Mans 480T, but I have never had a car...

Strange timing. I just made an offer on my go to and current dream motor. I can't say what it is yet because you vultures will snipe me! Everyone is against me owning it, I just know it!
