This buggy started off as a well used rere. Decided to start cleaning it up and one thing led to another. Started off by sanding the scratches out of the chassis and sending it off to get anodized. using the electronics I already had along with some new option parts, this is how it turned out. Hope ...

The more the sun was blocked here, the cloudier it caused the entire sky to become until you could barely see anything at all. Still super cool though!

One of my work colleague knows i'm doing a lot of 3D printing and CAD activity. A few days ago, she contacted me and asked if I could do a part for her husband newly acquired Can-Am MY 2015. I told her I was not sure, but why not. And the following day in the office, her husband came to show the tri...

It’s such an odd time. I wonder if in the long run this will be harder on collectors. Jc racing and fan rc both under took the task of minting up vintage compatible parts. I can’t imagine once AE releases parts that either will do enough sales to keep up production. AE will only release parts in a s...

Got the window masks in. https://i.imgur.com/6ygO5H6.jpg I like that the driver will have a glossy jacket from being painted on the inside, and that the seat belts are decals. https://i.imgur.com/zHp5CvV.jpg https://i.imgur.com/x0lnGDT.jpg The head splits the opposite way that Tamiya's drivers do, r...

Found recently a video that caught me curious... hLqSaEiXzIU It's not yet on the market, it's small build volume, it's pricey, but SLS to that price it is still highly interesting and would give many possibilities... And if this works as advertised, it may just disrupt the market like the Bambu Lab ...

[/quote] Your Beetle looks like fun just sitting there. The green came out slick. Pretty good color match right out of the can. I like looking at Beetles and Sand Scorchers online for inspiration, some of them have really awesome paint jobs. Like, have you seen the May issue of RCCA with the Sand Sc...

That's excellent work! Is there someone selling the printed interior/dash for the Beetle, or did he custom print and paint that? I'm not certain but I have seen other examples of his work and I believe everything you see is hand-painted. The guy is an artist! Anyway, I think Tamiya Metallic Green i...

Wagner! I love it!! :D Every time I hear that piece it reminds me of Apocalypse Now. "I love the smell of napalm in the morning." "It smells like -- victory." Great drone video and a great view as well. Much thanks! The Ride, or The Flight of the Valkyries, depending on how you ...

Sweet!

I see:

Hmmm, I saw this posted on TC yesterday. I'd like to add one to the collection but first I want to do a little research to determine how this model differs from other Optimas. Apart from the body and undertray, is there anything new here? the original pro moved the servo back behind the battery and...

the top deck is also different, and from what I can see, they changed the layout for the front shocks with shock towers and fixation on the arms...

These decals don't seem as obvious, without the white border. Miss the white border of the backing paper now. https://i.imgur.com/VN3Y2Z9.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Z8ckBkL.jpg https://i.imgur.com/NwpsyEd.jpg https://i.imgur.com/jkOZx9h.jpg The front windshield looks nasty, like I drove it through a fi...

The original pro was the last optima kit made, and was a step backwards for sure except for the balance. Never did understand why
