For polishing metal, I've mounted an 8" buffing wheel in a bench grinder. It can make aluminum appear nearly as reflective as chrome. Here's an aluminum push bar that I've made for the Bronco. The intent was to make the bar shine like the chromed bumper and grille and I think it comes very clos...

Wow, do you use a tumbler to polish smaller parts! Thats incredible work. Thanks, No, it's a dream to should be come true... but all the videos i find don't talk about alumnium polishing, just brass. Not shure about the result i'm still waiting before buy one Lots and lots of elbow-grease and sore ...

That's a great question.
At the moment, it's the Losi SBR2 - until something better comes along. I've been running the truck every day since it arrive a couple months ago - big fun!!

And here it is straight from the FedEX truck. P1010879.JPG Same packaging design as Vaterra P1010880.JPG P1010881.JPG Includes typical extras; manual, tools, tx batteries, a few spare parts... P1010883.JPG and sticker sheet remnants - that's odd, I've not seen that before. P1010884.JPG Oh look, they...

OUTSTANDING! Good job

Well, hmmm. I was thinking they were probably black. The items kinda look black in the photo. With the right paint color on the body, the black grille and bumpers could look very good. Also, there is this mystery item posted with the replacement parts: Losi Camaro body parts.JPG The question; is it ...

Then your gonna need a Le Mans motor!

Derek! You forgot to mention BOTM.

It's small consolation but the only thing I ca say is thank you. I really admire people with determination and patience. I probably would have given up after the first day.
Thank you for all that you do to maintain the site and make it the best RC forum on the web.

Another example of sheer determination and patience.
Looks great Chuck!

I was gonna mention it but I thought I shouldn't steal David or Derek's thunder.

I have been following this thread very interested. NICE WORK!! I thought I found the ideal ball diff for you, unfortunately it also is discontinued. It is a Losi and uses 46T instead of 45. Part number: LOSB3594 Maybe you can find one in the US. That would pretty much solve the issues of the diff h...

A good day indeed. What a great story! ...

Your son has an ...

Welcome aboard. :D Dhawk Racing products are made in China which really isn't the global center of excellence for precision fit and finish. In extreme cases when clearances are very large, I've also used JB weld to tighten the fit of bearings. Like CA and Loctite, be careful to prevent the epoxy see...

Looks totally legit John -- like a real vintage race car.
I really like the paint scheme and the use of white and black wheels.
Very nice. Well done sir!

Wow, what a nice ride you have there! I need to order myself a set of those wheels - they look great on your car. "Have to say it is a joy to drive." I couldn't agree more. I've been running the wheels off mine the last few days (detail here https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=30&...
