Hahaha No worries Doug, the tire and wheel discussion is fine here..its great to read and learn different approaches and style! Alex ADDENDUM: I spoke about using the GT chassis to increase wheelbase needed for mounting the Kyosho body. I failed to mention that i gained an additional 4mm when i swap...

Thank you for your help guys! They let me back in and all the correct manual links now work. I'm not sure why AE needed to change or move the PDF files for some of the cars, but now everything is in order! I hope to do more in the near future, Late TQ10,Late Worlds, B3 and the B4's. On side note, I ...

Here is what i did to red shocks, works awsome, no leaks, no air, simple to bleed too. Use a dremel and file round around the threaded aluminum piece where tye teflon seal used to go. Put an oring in the new groove created, finger tighten and enjoy! These are now one of my favorite shocks, i used to...

Thank you @Tamiyacowboy for that positive energy you are bringing after 3 posts only

Spent the weekend working on the truck. The ESC & motor are on track to be delivered today :mrgreen: so I got the steering servo all mounted properly and wired back to the rx with some extension leads. Got the limiting straps set and mounted at proper lengths now. Made some sponsor plates. Repla...

Electronics are in and calibrated/programed. First time "Superbeast" has moved under it's own power. Just a short lil' shakedown test in the driveway but I think I'm gonna be pleased with the power it seems to have.

Wow, I need to get a body and paint it box art for my Graphite. I never bothered putting a body on it, the chassis just looks amazing, but this is the go. It's a Viper body, right? Mmmmm, vintage graphite...Man, I need to lose the rear Losi tires, does anyone have a pair of Associated tires for sale...

Thanks Derek! Got some filling, sanding, filling, sanding done. Pretty much everything other than trans mounts, servo mounts and front end holes are filled. Servo tape for esc, receiver and battery. Drill for antenna after receiver is mounted. The 2 holes that the "C" mount pins go through...

I had some time to kill so i model'd up a copy of the front bumper mount from the slightly rough one i got recently . https://i.imgur.com/EFBSGZ4l.jpg https://i.imgur.com/mMWZ679l.jpg I don't have a picture but after removing the support material witch came off in one piece i tried sitting the genui...

Superbeast is done! Short vid and few pics of it all ready to go. Hope to have some run vids soon, lots of rain & storms today here so don't want to take it out today and get it muddy already lol. Already planning the next build. Next up, I decided to go all out. 1/5 scale tuber is planned over ...

After some wet sanding and second coat of primer and more sanding...
A finish coat of 2k clear.
Looks pretty good.

First video running in the backyard with the body, brushed Slot Machine stock motor and 2S Lipo battery. KVDNHFPf8HI And the first casualty from that flip: Casualty.jpg Time to redesign and re-print! The front and rear shock towers are bent a bit too; I will probably leave the aluminum in the rear, ...

Didn't realize how long this has been without a body.
While waiting on parts for the version 2 of mid motor RC10 I trimmed a body for version 1.
I still haven't really decided on the paint scheme yet but it's a start in the right direction.

It would appear the screws are on the wrong side but the battery clamps were originally used on previous Schumacher cars like the C car so they fit the other way up on those cars. There are two methods for the CAT, the first is as you mentioned by putting a hole in the undertray or as per the origin...
