At first I thought you were wondering if there was anything out there like an 80's Horizon. I couldn't grasp why anyone would want an RC Plymouth Horizon!?!? :mrgreen: https://media.ed.edmunds-media.com/plymouth/horizon/1990/oem/1990_plymouth_horizon_4dr-hatchback_america_fq_oem_1_500.jpg This woul...

This post is a Re-Do on my RC10DS Lamborghini Gallardo. The chassis was a custom logo chassis don by Don Martin that i purchased many many years ago. (Build link https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=37&t=36795 ) It was a cool finish and i got some nice photos but a few things were buggin me ...

I kept it simple. The stripes and wing accents are gunmetal. For the main color I did a couple light coats of Spaz Stix color change and backed it in Tamiya blue and then silver. The car is definitely still blue but the Spaz Stix gives it a green and purple pearl look as it moves through the light. ...

No. If the weather looks sketchy, I bring the body inside between coats.

I snapped this picture in the sun. Given the blue backing, the purple is definitely more prominent than the green.

I took a couple more pics in better light.

The old USA-1 electric was “1/10” but the nitro crusher with the same body was on a 1/8 scale burns chassis, so yeah. Scale numbers mean very little. And if they are anything like their Tamiya counterpart, the body is actually close to 1:12 when compared to a real 1:1. They made the bodies extra sm...

Almost worked as planned Javelin has now lights... I will update the thread and repost the parts on Thingiverse as it seem my original publication is not visible, not sure why... https://i.imgur.com/0OmJQEO.jpg https://i.imgur.com/MIao72H.jpg https://i.imgur.com/6nMhKCu.jpg https://i.imgur.com/eld0H...

Got it painted. The color turned out a little different than I imagined. The metallic nature of the gunmetal caused the color to mostly have a gold to pewter look, with reddish accents at certain angles. I was kinda iffy at first but its really starting to grow on me.

I traded my built DR-10 for an Infraction. TBH, $$$ wise it was a pretty square deal; both having close to about the same in each, but I feel like I got the much better end of the deal! These big Arrmas are just impressive! :mrgreen: I have decided this is just going to be a straight up speed rig. N...

Ok admittedly I didn’t get it in the post but I did pick it up over the weekend and my mind is blown! 1rc killed it with their 1/18 late model. This thing is sick 1DF6817A-AC46-4179-8BBC-23A9215E0A00.jpeg 58625351-A3A5-49D9-A966-EC0C1C052FB8.jpeg 5B394378-9B4B-496B-A458-67F75F0E028E.jpeg DF810A78-32...

Todays updates: Got the MMX 8S ESC in, and made a mount for it. I 'lifted" it out of the cavity the stock one fit into, maybe thinking it would allow a little more airflow / cooling. Might to nothing, but might. esc mount installed.jpg I had gathered all the parts I thought I needed to quickly ...

Small video taken on my sloppy garden track. Uphill or downhill, turns are always a challenge in this environment, and so far, the Javelin excels at it and is the easier ride by far...

Great achievement ! Generally with 3d printed parts holes tend to shrink a little , with home FDM printers I tend to increase the diameter by 0.2.- 0.3 mm so where I'd drill a 2.5mm for tapping an M3 thread with printing I'd make a 2.7mm hole for an M3 thread , if I'm making a hole for an m3 to free...

This makes me feel lazy
Really is very impressive, I like the material they are printed in…. Looks very factory prototype like
