It's a Schumacher FH1000! Glad I could help.











Woot, I've still got it

The Brat is Back! earlier this year I completely trashed my box art Brat racing at the Sydney Vintage Meet. Its now received a new body set, painted in Tamiya Metallic Black, with 3 coats of Gloss & a set of original Brat decals. The mountain bike that used to reside in the tray, was too far gon...

Sometimes you get some parts wrong… When I stated that Bob Rodine’s Runner (Jack in the Box) was the buggy that have stand model for Kyosho designer Akira Kogawa when he designed the COX Scorpion. But that’s not true; it was another of Bob’s buggy’s that stood model for Akira Kogawa when he deigned...

All done.

......... My RC10 only ran about 10 minutes. Best 10 minutes ever. Starts slowing down, then the steering sticks, and the msc hangs up, pretty much done, slow circles. Then you flip it over and let the battery run "dead". And against all labeling, you throw the only battery pack you have ...

One more piece to the puzzle. I found this flywheel on eBay a while ago and stuck it in my watch folder since it was priced a little high for being in the condition it is. It finally had an offer option so I picked it up at a decent price. I'm still not sure the real reason it had a groove machined ...

Hey everyone! Been asked a handful of times to make a chassis to match the shock towers... I've looked into it, and done the research. To get the material from a GOOD source (which isn't cheap), I'd have to sell the chassis plates for about $150.00 each... Does that price it out of reality? Here's ...

You could paint the positive end/side of the battery red. I see that a lot. +1 on the paint. I do that with all my lipo batteries. Another tip has to do with the leads/wires from the ESC to the battery. I make the positive wire just long enough to reach it's socket. That way, it can't reach the neg...

Took a week to build cpe links team blue star adjustable threaded shocks aluminum frame led lights and much more went into the build all backed up by a futaba sky sport 6 radio system

I finely got the body done. What do you guys think?

Just having fun with this old boy. Bit of work still but a good deal done already too.

As far as tapering the ends of the springs, it does work, but there are other easier and cheaper methods to gain the same thing. First, take a close look at the spring mount and both ends of the shackle mount. The spacer/bushing in mine were just a hair short which allows the spring hanger or shackl...
