Re: best reproduction bodies in 2023?

I agree. The very best re-pop bodies I have came from Sabula Tech and Marwan.
I asked about making the Protech and he said "no".

Re: Capo GTR / Nissan SkyLine GT-R R34

Very impressive but where's the headliner? ...and, no power windows?? :wink: Seriously, I've been a subscriber to his youtube channel for a while now and he often features some amazing RC's - many of which are WAY outside my budget. Also, I didn't know the Skyline was AWD. Anyway, thanks for posting...

Re: So what did you get in the post today ???

Parts from the printer. Wheel nut covers for the KW and trailers. Front bulkhead and suspension arms for the 934 project (2 complete sets). I've oversized the bearing bores by 0.1mm this time so I hope the bearings fit without too much fuss. P1010003.JPG It's time to get busy making chassis plate an...

Re: Anyone have a lead to new Kyosho Turbo Ultima wheels and rims?

I am constantly amazed at the creativity and resourcefulness you folks show in the acquisition of parts. :D My lazy a$$ would just wait for the inevitable re-release. :lol: Those are my thoughts as well. Especially with guys finding parts that fit RC10 from places like McMaster and Grainger. I woul...

Re: Capo GTR / Nissan SkyLine GT-R R34

I watched the linked video again yesterday. I know this will seem a bit trivial but, a few years ago I bought a NIB Monogram 1/8 scale Corvette collectors edition (paid WAY to much for it :oops: ) with the plan to make it RC. ...certainly, nothing as elaborate as the Capo model featured in the video...

Re: Capo GTR / Nissan SkyLine GT-R R34

Thank you!

An RC GT40 with accurate suspension would be a challenge but WOW, that would be awesome.
Having seen some of your past projects (the 1/18 scale crawler with hand-fabricated brass tube chassis comes to mind), I think you could create something amazing. :D

Oh WOW. I just assumed it was before and after electronics photos.
HOLY COW, that's absolutely phenomenal! :shock:

Re: Mid-Six Spare Parts Project

What a nice build!
... and it appears to have taken you only 3 days to complete. My scratch builds normally take months to complete.

Well done sir. :D

Re: The dog thread

My neighbor's 15 year old Shepherd, Chip. I looked after him at their place most weekends for the past 10 years while they visited their 2 daughters.

Re: Kyosho Dirt Master Ultima SB

Has anyone ordered one or plan to order one? Well, let's see. Is there anything new here? No, nothing new; it's basically just a B4 knock-off. 😂 So what you're saying is it’s a knock off of a knock off of a losi xxx. I’ve had 1 of these kits in my hands through our local Nz kyosho importer and they...

Al'-u-mini'-um wheels for the 934 project.

Apparently, according to the instructions, a couple of them are "Wilde". :lol:

They're a bit lighter than I expected. ... not nearly as light as Tamiya's plastic wheels however.

Re: master of rc auto racing 155 card set 1992

These cards are awesome..I never knew they existed. https://www.rc10talk.com/download/file.php?id=162181&mode=view I used to race at American-Trac 1991-92. It was in Mattoon, IL amongst the farm fields and the hobby shop was in the basement of their house. They had a great off-road track too. W...

Re: RC10 Team Edition shock parts

Here you go. I took these measurements a few years ago. But then I came across a stash of shock parts. Screenshot_20230406_192441_Gallery.jpg Ya know, looking at that sketch, I'd probably draw them in CAD, print a paper template, stick that to a sheet of styrene of the correct thickness, drill the ...

Not the easiest car I've built but it is growing on me.
Pretty soon I've got to decide on electrics...


Chuck
The car looks fantastic!

Build yourself a Schumacher CAT, Chuck, and you'll think the Mid was easy to assemble.
