IMO the Stinger has a super ugly body. I like the Holeshot truck though. Haven't driven it yet but should be fun with this 3S lipo. Transmission comes with bearings already. I bought a $10 pack of bearings to replace all of the hub bushings. The plastic big bore shocks feel pretty good. Geometry on ...

The plan here was to build a kit form RB10. I am just not a RTR fan in general. I don't know the quality of the AE RTR electronics, but I tend to not trust RTR electronics usually. I like to be the one that torques things, adds the loc-tite and grease, and sands off the little nubs that are hitting ...

Box art turbo ultima isn’t red, it’s orange.

A little side project whilst gaining momentum on future AE builds. FMS 1:18 Chevrolet K10 RTR. Started by switching wheels to RC4WD 1/18 Gelande II wheels and tires. Filling the dasch, fabricating quarter window frames out of styrene. (no 3D printing here). Painted windscreen rubber seal with Tamiya...

Fabricated indicator- and gear shifter out of steel wire and styrene. Painted the dash and bench seat. Fabricated door panels and hood reinforcement out of styrene. Swapped out the std friction dampers to oil filled Injora aluminum shocks. scrapped the upper right link as the chassis has a panhard b...

Thanks everyone for the info, it really helped

Seeing as this car was a Christmas gift to myself, it seemed fitting it finished up on Christmas Eve. :) One of the main goals in this build was to make a RB10 that didn't look like a RB10. In that regard, I think I was successful. I have a couple of loose ends to finish up, but it is 95% at this po...

Here´s a B4 and a RB6 i did a few years ago.


B4 Centro


RB6

Well, what I thought would be a couple of hours of replacing some minor parts ended up taking quite a few hours, and I haven't even touched the body. Didn't realize the stock pan has holes for a smaller than stock steering servo, so had to dig one out and pretty it up and shorten the cable. The orig...

Via a direct link from a member of this forum (Thanks Dadio!), I ended up in possession of an Extratoy Holiday Buggy. This is known to be a clone of the Tamiya Holiday Buggy, and sure, that is probably true, but at the same time, I wasn't there, so maybe Tamiya cloned Extratoy!?! Who knows, either w...

Looks like a classic buggy body is back! RB5 based, rear motor, and with a gear differential, this buggy should be a blast!

Bumper support arrived.
Added a servo.
Cleaned and shot the wheels until I make up my mind on what to eventually use.

Problems with the printer last week-end, PTFE tube that wanted to be extruded... and breakage when dismantling the nozzle... cuttin of one of the two wires of the thermistor... so ordering new parts, it will have to wait for the sequel. I had done a lot of stuff before trouble started. Still haven't...

Bodyshell now painted in Tamiya corsa grey and pearl white.

I am still waiting on the wing, which appears to be a month away still. So here are some pictures of the body. I just did a simple pearl white paint. I ordered the decals from MCI, and changed the orange to purple. I really like how the purple looks over the orange. MCI is a great resource, but the ...
