Saw something earlier that reminded me of this so I figured why not...

More motors!!!

Super Excited to start cleaning and restoring! Looky what I have on the way! Not that I need another project, let alone three more, but I had wanted an RC10 to add to my collection and this sale popped up a day or two ago so I jumped on it. So for $175 shipped we scored RC10 A or B IDK with what loo...

I didn't take it but it's worth posting.

I think I am just about out of reasons for being so chicken $hit to start airbrushing. Brush, mixing bowls, and droppers showed up today. I just hope HD has some combo of adapters to make my hose fit this brush because they ain't jiving so far.

Had to change the front arms and suspension to get it working smooth, it will all match when done, I hope, still under development....got some custom length towers coming from Factory Works... finally getting somewhere, got a body ordered I think will fit....prolly go Andy Jacobson for paint for an ...

At least we know you won't play dirty anymore.

This is the guide I'm going to mostly use:

What exactly is or what makes a B1.5? It is also the theoretical missing link between the B1 and B2. The B2 went directly to a molded composite chassis whereas the T2 utilized a re-designed aluminum tub. Since the B1 and T1 both utilized the same basic aluminum tub, the B1.5 answers the T2 tub in b...

It is just about 50% more than a B1. Not quite a B2 though.

Common sense has no place here.....

Here's another one I just refurbished. It was a "Team Big Block" motor, built with a GM can and endbell. I disassembled the endbell, cleaned and polished the brush hoods, and polished the can. The Trinity Experimental decal was the only thing that I could find that matched the brush hoods....

Going classic 80's today.
