Been enjoying the DS - perhaps a bit too much as I’m chewing through the original rear Road Hawgs. I’m considering a hex conversion to open up my tire options. I’ve seen the detailed conversions, and may go that route eventually, but has anyone tried this rudimentary product on the DS? https://www....

I wanted to share my recommendation for Mark Forbes for your current and vintage paint jobs. He does absolutely amazing work.

I soak used bearings in lighter fluid or acetone (if they are really nasty), then spray them with carburetor cleaner and an RPM Bearing Blaster, then lube them with Lucas fishing reel oil (any light oil will do). Is there something specific about bearings that causes you to use those solvents versu...

I know some of you were wondering about the contents of the KNK hardware set. Here's a pic of everything it came with.

Have officially started the rebuild tonight so I will post some progress pictures tomorrow.

So there I was, innocently browsing the ole' eBay for an RC10T roller, shocked at how brutally-expensive they've become, when I stumbled across this gem. From the body it just looked like an old T3 RTR roller. A million of them out there, right? But then I dug deeper and started looking at the pictu...

Thanks for the warm welcomes! I've been in this hobby for a very long time and it's always nice to join a new community and find friendly, like-minded people. I got my wheels and tires in. Body came in too but I'm waiting for decals and paint for that. So until then, have a couple pictures with my r...

Paint job is awesome !! Perfect ! Thanks. It's definitely a period correct paint job, and the scheme is really eye-catching. I decided to solder up the electronics last night. I swapped the smaller 13 ga positive wire for a 12 ga since I would have hard wired the battery lead to the single run inst...

First test print of the front tire. This is probably a usable tire but the back side is pretty ugly. I want to mess around with the settings and also look at softer compounds. I have a rear tire on the printer now. Even though we are only doubling the dimensions to go from 1/10 to 1/5, volumetricall...

Coming together. She's a runner again. I still need to glue the tires on - waiting for tire glue. I didn't realize the V2 of the Quicrun 1080 didn't include the programming card so I had to figure out how to do that to disable the drag brake but everything else is good to go. I also replaced most of...

This is my Vintage racer for an upcoming event in a couple of weeks, I don't think I could have picked a worse race car, lol. I only picked the Hotshot because it was cheap and I needed something to fill in a second class. I hate silver can racing as it's a cheaters class where your up against oddba...

Hey, everybody! This is my first post on the board. I figured it would be appropriate to share some photos of my Losi XX. This is the form it was in circa 1995 when I stopped racing. It has just followed me around through multiple houses and garages ever since. I gave away, sold, or threw away all o...

So AE posted this on Facebook: We are attending The SEMA Show this year and using that as the starting point for the pending 60th Anniversary of Associated Electrics (1964) and 40th Anniversary of the RC10 (1984)! To pay homage to the RC10, we decided to make a special display piece, and since we kn...

For those without Facebook and for future readers.....

Hey guys, hope y’all are doing well. Went to a hobby store a few hours away from me and found a decent little haul of NOS parts including an OS Max 12CV in a red OS box with a see through plastic lid. I’ve never seen a box like that so I asked him to set it aside for me and will be going back next w...
