Different for sure. IMO I kInd'a like the top painted black best, and the whole top removed 2nd best. Then this version is "okay" at best to me.

Finally got a chance to get into the office and pick up a few items that have been waiting for me.... much better than Christmas, no socks!!! Lot1.jpg Includes five sets of rally wheels and tyres, two sets of display / show / drift wheels and tyres, a new USB soldering iron (for fine, fiddly electro...

That's an incredible haul Alex. Where do you find 12th scale wheels and foams these days (for RC12)? Does anyone still make them?? Doug, They came up in one lot from a seller over here in Aus.... mostly TRC, as can be seen. Some two-hole rears, some three-hole rears, and some pin-drive rears. I thi...

Hi Doug Nope, there are no dumb questions only dumb answers. And I've given my fair share of dumb answers. And you're pretty much spot on, not lost. I've been a little vague because I wasn't really sure of what direction I was going with the gear/ball diff decision. Story is that I got a large grab ...

Ok, with all of the challenges today we could all use some good news to balance things out. It can be the birth of a child, job promotion, great vacation, an unexpected gift, it’s totally up to you. Life is full of little miracles and sharing might just make someone’s day.

My brother, Steve, is recovering in hospital from having two malignant tumors removed (behind the right ear and above left ear). Steve was diagnosed with myeloma about two years ago and has been undergoing regular treatments and follow-up scans but somehow they missed the tumors until he started ha...

So this was actually the original tub for B1.5 #5. That car became a mid motor carpet racer using a different tub. So this one has been laying around for a little while. I had started to mess around with a little while ago, but for the most part it just sat. While I was laid up recently, I got to th...

I like the concept of this thread with all that's going on. How about a debacle I've been dealing with for 5 months now with a happy ending? It's a decent read due to my advanced linguistical abilities. :P First and foremost my computer is my life. The only time it's off is when I'm sleeping, and it...

Stick with what you are doing Dadio, and don't let the money-hungry a$$hats get to you! With your creations, you are personally saving vintage RC cars! And ultimately, whether the end user spent $20 or $80 for your creation, it may very well have saved a car from getting tossed in the bin or parted ...

Hi! Fairly new to this forum and trawling re-re Turbo Optima threads ahead of building mine over Christmas. This is another fantastic example, I hope mine looks as good when I finally get around to it. I'm planning to do one box art body and another scheme (to be decided!) on a repro body I've bough...

The TO re-re was an absolute joy to build. Just watch the manual closely, especially the top shaft/slipper assembly. If you get it wrong, things could get in a bind.

Awesome, thanks, I'll be on the lookout for that! Great 3D rendering BTW, that's lovely

Cheers, Paul

You could stalk the mini z with the MB and then run it over!

My concern with the MB are those hex dogbones that the MB and BF both use. If I was building one, I'd want whatever aftermarket replacement might still be available.

Big upgrade with these beautiful vintage Trinity shocks. I received them as shown below. I then added some gold shafts and alloy bottom spring retainers.

If you didn’t want to spend the money on a MIP diff, there are relatively inexpensive braces that work
