Your very welcome. :D Just one more item to post. I found this image of an original TU decal sheet somewhere on the web back when I was rebuilding my car. Notice that the orange and red colors are very nearly the same. The similarity could be due to the scanner used to create the web image or it cou...

Thank God! I hope so anyway.

Looks good - I like it.

I agree, really an exceptional build.

VALID!

I'll admit to knowing almost nothing about the Pro X.
Maybe it came along during my hiatus from the hobby - I donno.
Anyway, your car looks amazing. Well done sir!

it took a whlile to arrive with some additional delays but it is finally here...

Very nice Chuck! Especially the motor - it appears like new. I've also found that fitting the ESC in a Javelin can be a challenge. I'm running brushless and a Reedy SC600 does fit directly behind the battery after I've removed the fan. I also have a Futaba MC 230 but it's in a trail truck at the mom...

Oh wow, that looks great! :D I made something very similar a few years ago -- made 4 of them actually. The small footprint makes it convenient to set them in a corner where nothing else will fit.

The finished car looks fantastic Chuck.
You've preserved another vintage classic.

Well done sir!

The obsession with square body Chevy pickups continues. Traxxas just got these clear bodies in stock so I went ahead and ordered one (I'm too cheap to buy the entire truck).

Yes, someone noticed that the original Stealth tranny didn't provide enough drag and was far too quiet so they fixed that with the re-re.

This is a SC10 c-hub on my DS. All i did was take a 1/8" drill bit, attach it to a vice grip, and SLOWLY turned it through the hole. Afterwards i would push/pull the drill bit without turning through a few times to smooth it out. The hinge pin slid through easily without slop. https://live.sta...

Could you explain what you did to the gearbox/rear suspension setup? I'm curious...It almost looks like something I did with my sprint car. I can try, but probably not very well. :D It is quite a hodge podge, and hard to describe. The gearbox is DR/RB-10, flipped around, and mounted to a printed ad...

Looks amazing, Derek. Well done sir! This is another RC I didn't know existed. I have a Custom Works Dominator and the Slingshot looks very similar to that car. I wonder which car came first; was the Dominator an American Slingshot or was the Slingshot a Japanese Dominator? Anyway, will your Slingsh...

And I thought they only made sewing machines.

l71qPM_IMcI WOW, thanks for that Brian. There must be something magical about 6 cylinder, DOHC, 4 valve, air cooled engines. I have a vintage Honda CBX with a 6 into 1 pipe and the sound that bike makes at 9,000 RPM is absolutely incredible. Anyway, if I were wealthy enough to own a Singer, the tir...
