Some MXL pulleys to complete the transmission of one of the 44B chassis in case I can't find original parts, and some materials to do attempts at pourring tires...
I put this up on rctech also but I wanted to see what you guys thought. Not an original idea just something I thought would be fun to mess with. img_20221215_225951_00fe48d05ce88d8641d6763678ca6c0d23bc527b.jpg 540 motor plate on amazon img_20221215_225945_530c3cf680234f0fcae264ec1a4c5868a4db91bf.jpg...
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 ...
So a few days ago I found out about a car I had never heard of before, an RC10B3x. FB_IMG_1671071977619.jpg The car was run at the at the postponed 2001 Ifmar Worlds in 2002, and seems to have been raced at other tracks in 2002. Here is what Kurt Wenger mentioned on FB about it's specs: It was a new...

dfmBLE-ejZQ Here's a reall cool project for the theater room I have been working on. I made a digital movie poster out of an extra 32" tv I had laying around. Built a frame for it and then did some 3D printing for the adornments on it. I resized about 40 of my favorite movie posters to 1080p x...
Won this one on eBay cheap and although it looked pretty terrible… underneath wasn’t so bad. 02EDC135-9237-4F7A-8584-FA6AF1CAB136.jpeg I stripped it down and rebuilt the front and rear. Of course while apart I copied the parts I want to have on file. I rebuilt with imperial hardware since I felt lik...
sooo, while I was researching and head scratching, I wanted to improve the front hinge block to allow me to keep the 10T pin tie-bar. I ended up milling a rabbet out at the same thickness as the tie bar, to allow the RPM front arms to fit without modifying them (weaken them) 20221203_220323.jpg 2022...
This has become a great way for me to avoid the responsible Christmas prep stuff I should be doing right now. :D So, the mechanical build is done expect the motor and ESC, which should come it today. Oh, and the front bumper, which should also be here soon. Not a lot of build pics because it is just...
I think I figured out the wing mounting situation. My cheap set of 3mm brass standoffs have saved me numerous times on all kinds of projects. There are not a lot of threads for the set screws on there, so their longevity is questionable, as the set screws will have to be screwed out / in / out / in ...
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...
