Goofing around on FBMP while on vacation, and end up with a couple of XXX buggies damn cheap. Only packed half my checked bag for such things.

I know nothing about CR and EA3, so need to research all that.

I was pretty much prepared for the upcoming Vintage Bash race meet with my T3.... but then the Schumacher rabbit hole opened up, and I can feel myself falling.....

I see nothing but pure goodness there Alex

Nah we’re just a few hours ahead of our Aussie cousin’s…….

Or I may be pissed already who knows

Found someone local to cut a few bits for me

The dangers of LiPo have been massively exaggerated. Don't try to charge them with an arc welder and you will be fine.

This is my Vintage racer for an upcoming event in a couple of weeks, I don't think I could have picked a worse race car, lol. I only picked the Hotshot because it was cheap and I needed something to fill in a second class. I hate silver can racing as it's a cheaters class where your up against oddba...

I haven't been to this swap meet before but I'm going to check it out this Sunday.

Great work RJ, you've created the quintessential vintage RC image... old radio, Tamiya RC bag, and a Hot Shot - add gold wheels to the Hotshot, a set of fast charge 'suicide' leads, and a leaking 1200 Nicad, and the picture would be complete! :lol: 8) Step away from the idea of it being a race meet...
