Not all today, but I started tweaking the "Junkyard Frog". I swapped out the original hex drives for CVD's, with the outdrives getting the Frogshot mod. I also swapped to a Dynamite 20T (previously had a Team Brood 27T). 20250323_131828.jpg The front end was especially sloppy, even for an ...

Ran the Scorpion at my cousins' yesterday. It was a killer fest. I have a few more vids to post when I have time. They'll post some pics when they get off their dead a$$.

I had a Fox in the mid eighties (mkI) and rebuilt it soon with the Hot Trick conversion. Still have a few Foxes but never done this one - Very cool build! I'm driving both the original gear diff and the Thorp ball diff. Interesting with the diff grease, and will be good the hear an evaluation. Will ...

Back to the Turbo Ultima to show with body removed. Now that the first scratch is over with; this car is way too much fun to leave on a shelf!! The 19.5T Lemans 240 motor is a nice match power-wise; it sure looks good keeping that front end light across the lawn! I had both wings torn off by end of ...

This month I won't be congratulating the winner, but condoling the 2nd. How hard it must be to lose with such a lead over the rest of the field. Two individual ideas have been realized here in a particularly impressive way. Thank you both for sharing these builds.

I've collected enough different styles of Big Jim motors (6 so far) that I thought a dedicated thread should be started. I've seen other versions that I don't have. Feel free to add your Big Jim Greenemeyer motor here too. First some related paperwork. . 1000015109.jpg 1000015116.jpg 1000015135.jpg ...

Its so over. When we wake up tomorrow thats it. Wish that final vote from the moderator didnt get cast. A tiebreaker shootout would have been pretty cool. Congrats silvertriple!

Congrats to silvertriple. This isnt the last time you see this frog. Its coming back much more tricked out in the future. Hopefully i do a better job of navigating those "delicate politics"

I never do the contests as it is always a let down for me. Don't take it hard, someone has to win and everyone else has to not win. That's just how it is.

Congratulations on the win! The Zerda is an impressive build with a lot of continued effort over multiple years! It beat out a field of other very nice builds. The votes don't show just how nice many of the other entries are, and the Zerda is definitely a worthy winner.
