This should do it.... pre-sticker sneak peek.

Got myself another Panda EP Danny Thompson stadium racer with vintage radio gear. It was listed as a Baja 250, the seller obviously didn't research it. I now have two EP's and one NP!

This 14 ft stalk grew out of my plant over the past 6 weeks.

If you look close you can see my pet conure of 24 years in it.

After my last post, I started to work out assemblies. I added the battery door hinge to the rear assembly https://i.imgur.com/tWXfHDn.jpg I had the idea that making assembly will help me to check key measurements and design. As expected, it helps, a lot. https://i.imgur.com/sk6zTuJ.jpg The battery d...

Haven't really had a ton of free time to do RC lately, but got this latest build out recently and tested it out on the backflip ramp. She passed

Using a custom made TA02's chassis strechted to reach TA01 wheelbase and a twin gear diff set up I was planning to (quick) build a robust ca...

I did not made updates on this thread lately... First, shocks issue was solved with Tamiya red o-rings. They works much better, and the don't leak anymore. I received the under guard from Optima House recently. I had the time to mount them during an evening, butt did not bother to take pictures at t...

After the short but effective Samurai break, let's get back on the Nichimo... First, I was highlighted that there is some differences between the Midships to chassis and Exceed top chassis. Analysis of the instruction manuals shows they use a different MSC. My car is a indeed a Midships chassis with...

This will be fun. Thanks civilguy!

Added knuckles assemblies within the rear gearbox https://i.imgur.com/Dgqlm1Z.jpg Once that was done, I went to the chassis to add the propeller shaft. I had a doubt on the full chassis dimensions but I think i'm not in bad shape :) https://i.imgur.com/rYPzyFo.jpg Transmission is now complete... (I'...

Oh yeah, thanks for that. I guess it's meant to provide resistance (limited slip?) but it appears the amount of resistance would vary as the pinion rotates and spreads the plates. Sorta like a detent. Apparently, there's a lot about center diffs that I don't understand. Yeah, even with the video, t...

Just a beautiful day outside today so had to get this one out for a lil' run on a dirt ramp I have started making.

Thought I would share a quick fix that turned out better than I expected for my Boomerang. I got this car a while ago used and it has always been missing the plastic pin for the battery door. I haven't felt right paying current prices for a new E parts sprue, but I also couldn't have the door not be...

Progressing small step by small steps... Had to add the motor on the gearbox to build the cooler component... It's presently with a 15T pinion (there is 2 other positions for 12T and 18T pinions - I'll talk about it later :) ). https://i.imgur.com/AnenLMa.jpg While at it, I checked the pinion was li...

Very much overkill but it’s going to run just fine. I taped up the outside and started trimming. The t2 has a lot of variation...
