Slammed that Cirrus clear servo into the SWB TRX-1. Kind of a corny theme of clear-to-smoky electronics, but if you got 'em all, why not? "shoulder shrug emoji"

My latest plundering of the treasures of the UK arrived. Many thanks to my import/export specialist. An MG Exterminator that's nicer than my first Exterminator, a Team Tanaplan that's also nicer than my first, and a Reedy Euro Sonic that is my first Reedy Euro Sonic! There's no model letter on it, b...

While not perfect (slight white outline around the red), the MCI decal for these are pretty good.

Been chasing one of these turds for a while, it's nothing special just a Parma lexan body on a Rockbuster, but ever since seeing it in the Tower catalog I've loved the look.

I've found that 1/4" pinstripe tape is very similar.

Seems like it would be a ticket or towable offense to me if they left their vehicle like that. Most of the ramps we go to are private, and there are no hard fast stated rules in regards to ramp etiquette and parking, as it is assumed that users are decent people with common sense and understand the...

If you're into reading RC history... I was able to connect all the dots on the life and times of Novak Electronics, from a young Bob Novak fresh out of college to the growth of a company that would become the predominant name in R/C electronics. Plus an answer to the question... why were Novak produ...

I was watching one of my youtube channels, https://www.youtube.com/@80sLife , and he was attending a fair that had an interesting exhibit, for typewriters. Then it hit me, when I was in 9th grade, I took a typewriting course in high school, and TBH, I was one of the few males in that class. In '88-'...

Something tells me that we've veered off topic a touch here. Why don't we all just settle down a bit, kick back with a couple chicks and a cup of coffee, and redirect back to where we should be, looking at Midnight Pumpkins! :mrgreen: What about Vanessa's Lunchbox? I've wondered about that too. Was...

On the subject of old video games, Contra. Up up down down left right left right B A start, think was the 30 lives cheat code. Even though the game could easily be beat with 1-3 lives. Contra, if you shot enough guys you got an extra life... used to park Bill just short of the first screen roll, ta...

Made an adapter for a little 3S battery and took the Super Clod for a spin. Holy crap! That really wakes it up! Whoa that snail is fast!!!

It was a great day for mail! :D I've been looking forward to this showing up! A huge Thank You to GoMachV for the opportunity to get my hands on one of these awesome kits! I will be using a new Team Car for this build. Any advice on wheels/tires and other recommended parts would be greatly appreciat...

The black motor had worn out brushes that needed replacement, and the red motor had no brushes. Both have new brushes and springs now.

If vintage R/C cars are cool... what do you call guys doing the same thing... with vintage Monster Trucks: ...epically cool. 8) I like the old stuff better too! I've always loved MTs, I just don't care for a lot of what comes with MTs in general. Why do I love them, they're big and they are mechani...

I decided to put together a setup sheet for Brian's winning setup. Keep in mind this is going off of info he shared with the press back in the day, some info may not be 100% but is as close as I could dig up, so far. Note that the sheet shows the Worlds Car shock towers, while he didn't use these to...
