Interestingly, diecast aluminum was used by Kyosho for the standard kit front hubs.
This is true for the re-released versions as well.

Well done sir! The car looks great.
Kyosho had offered the Chevelle body in red and blue as well but I think silver is the best color - especially with those chrome trim pieces.
Did you notice that they are making an El Camino version as well?

Hi Dan and welcome aboard.

The Sand Scorcher was one my first surface RC's. I recall seeing it on the cover of a Tower Hobbies catalog as it was a new release at the time and I couldn't resist. I sold it ages ago but I'd like to find another one to keep this time.

NEVER shoulda thrown them out!!! :roll: I miss that stack more than Luke Duke missed his "ten years wortha car magazines" that were in the outhouse when Bo blew it up with the explodin' arrow Well I guess technically Luke blew it up. But his ding dang cousin put the real dynamite on the a...

Awesome, thank you Derek.

I reckon someone who lives in "Energy" should know a thing or two about electricity.

Actually, I'm guessing that most of my batteries have Chinese Deans connectors (or Chin-Deans connectors? sorry, I just made that up :oops: ) and I've yet to have a problem with any of them which is why I thought it was odd there were so many complaints. To be honest however, I don't think any of my...

Thanks for posting this. I have no first-hand experience with Metalcast but I've used a lot of Duplicolor paints over many years and I've always found it to be some of the very best rattle can paint on the market. They use a unique nozzle on their cans that lays down a very even coat that allows the...

I've always been a big fan of the '69 Camaro so this got my attention. I have the Vaterra '69 Camaro but it's an AWD touring car. Other than the lack of window trim, I think the body on this car looks great. L3tNMpp9Ahw I don't drag race so I'm curious what you racers think. Do you believe this coul...

I've not seen this before. This is fascinating! Thanks for posting the link.

Check out that flex drive system. Let's take a simple concept, over-think it a little and make it incredibly complex. hahaha...
Very cool stuff overall. Great respect for Eustace!

Wow, I didn't realize you were into RC planes as well.

Now that’s what I’m talking about ! You put together one awesome truck there, you didn’t like how it was so you made it into what it is now. Nicely done I may add. That truck should be posted up in its own thread. Many would like and benefit from what you came up with. haha... Thank you but it wasn...

Performance wise, I have no idea. I just hope that the QC is better than what the LMT has had. :roll: Why can't Losi release a kit version?? I hear ya! I have a new Losi vehicle and I've had to re-assemble parts of if that weren't assembled correctly. And, the ESC has two broken mounting tabs! What...

Every vehicle appears to be discontinued everywhere I look. Granted, not the best products overall but their bodies seemed to be very scale. I have two on-road cars (v100s Camaros) and wondering if I should stock up on spare parts while they're still available. Has anyone heard anything official? th...

Believe me, when this guy hits the curb upside down for the first time, I may cry a little. But that is just the game I guess. :wink: dr10 body 1.jpg Sorry you have not gotten good feedback on your original question. I know nothing about Spektrum products outside of Rx/Tx. The motor Kv is about twi...

Just learned of the 6.9 earthquake that occurred near New Zealand a few hours ago. My thoughts and prayers go out to our friends down under.
