Not to be a pig, but if I could pick a second buggy, I just can't shake my desire for an original Losi 5 link.

...to set the Guiness World record with my rocket car https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/fastest-rocket-powered-model-car/ You’ll have a way to go. The model rocket car record is over 500 Mph. You may be a let to get it for your scale. Those aren't radio controlled...I am only going...

wooooo, canards

I got a box of total awesomeness today! I have been collecting electronics for my JJ Ultima build. I have a period correct Trinity modified, a period correct Novak NER2S receiver for G plug connectors, and a G plug S32 steering servo. I have a gold label Mospower ESC, but with a J plug connector. I ...

We got one and u never pay it any mind

Linear servos. It's sad we don't have them in modern times. EMS made some conversions back in the 2000s for a s148. It makes so much more sense. Hmm would be fun to design a newer version of that. So got a nice surprise in the mail today IMG_20231212_171719609.jpg IMG_20231212_173926771.jpg Also I ...

Dear Santa, It’s been awhile but just in case you read this forum, I have been a very very good boy this year ( have not strangled our CEO or flipped the bird to any bad drivers; both which took considerable restraint) and if you agree I would be forever grateful if you could secure for me a Ko Prop...

Received a real nice surprise in the mail yesterday.


Thanks pal.

Project update:

Installed the engine and clutch plus a few bits and bobs I‘ve found over time.
And a little hint how I‘m planning to change the layout for better weight distribution and engine cooling.

Looking awesome can't wait to see it run.

I love it. Just mentioning you *may* want to review your front axle and get some kind of caster built in. High speed (and we are talking high speed) stability comes to mind. It also scrubs off steering sensitivity.

Been at this one for a while now and finally about to wrap it up. All parts are scaled 1/2 from the 12e making it a 1/24 car. Fits slot bodies but I'm struggling to find a nice early 80s stock car for it. I made a few concessions along the way but very minimal. For example the kingpins are press fit...

For scale, this is a 1/12 T160 body And here is the resistor next to a stealth trans case

Coincidence that these two showed up on the same day. At first glance, they may seem similar, but they are absolutely nothing alike! The built car may have instantly become my most favorite RC I own.
