She had her maiden run and it all went very smoothly , need to centre the steering servo horn as i ran out of trim trying to go straight but that's small potatoes , the transmission is very smooth and for a chain drive its quite quiet as well , it steers well at most speeds but its asymmetric track ...

Mad??
Why should I be? No worries my friend!

Well that is weird... maybe the 36* on the one label was a misprint because otherwise there was no spec difference

I thought I'd give myself the kick to get going on it again after a tough (non covid related) end to the year..... I've installed the shift light into the factory wiring and it works flawless. Set to a conservative 5000 RPM, in second gear the speedometer reads about 80 MPH, bang third and before yo...

This is project #2 I am currently working on:

- Nice Vintage Custom Works Dominator with white arms
- Hot Trick Stuff chassis, plate and wing

Below some pics.

All parts are still on their way. Will post updates when I start with the build.

Took the custom 1/5 scale out to the local park today to stretch its legs since this is only the 2nd ever run after completion. To say it exceeded my hopes for speed would be an understatement. It's actually kind of scary to see something 50lbs and nearly 3ft long going that fast. It's definitely go...

7:40, specifically.

Well I don't wana alienate the US Contingent but the diff's in the wrong place , there's loads of slop in the rest of the gearbox and they sort of copied the Tamiya Sand Rover chassis in heavy garish gold metal rather than light plastic , otherwise it's not too bad for an 80's buggy :wink: Can anybo...

Hundred times deserved win !
There are so much beautiful builds since the beggining of this year. I think that the level contest has dramatically increased

Dadio has the skills to pay the bills....who agrees that it would be epic if he made a 4wd Lunchbox? I dont mean take a 4wd chassis and throw a Lunchbox body on it. I am talk'n 3d print parts to make a stock Lunchy chassis 4wd. I think scr8p needs to start a poll....if he has the nads :lol: Me and ...

I made a 4WD Lunch Box in the '90s! I mounted another gearbox in the front, and the whole thing pivoted to steer. I can't remember how I did it exactly. I was even videotaped driving it around the backyard in the snow. That brings back some fond memories.

Don’t forget to send a couple bottles of this with your Van.

Well, I’ve been quietly sitting on the sidelines, researching all the good info from this board for long enough…figured it was time I made my first actual post….now that I’ve actually got something worth posting…lol! I’d like to give a solid heartfelt thank you to the admins and the members of this ...

Sounds like u got the Gold Key! Yup, he's got the gold key to the crapper! I must be having a blond moment, this is going over my head. What are you guys referring to? Sorry, I was just feeling goofy last night and couldn't help but piggyback back on Derek's reference. Yeah, just means you have exc...
