Here's a little mod that I did to overcome the sloppy hinge pin holes in the +/- 1 degree mounts to give myself some tuning options. Very simple but it works. 20231030_221917.jpg Nearly finished the truck tonight, just gotta decal it up and it's pretty much done :D I dug this thing out..... 20231030...

Truck is done !!

I still need to glue the tires and set camber etc but it's done. Overall I think it turned out pretty good, it's as close to box art as I can get it.

Happy Halloween all! Smoke on the water when I left for work this morning(fog). Now it'll be stuck in my head all day.

You guys are going to have a blast! Buncha old guys with your RC hijinks and BSing.

That's come up a treat, RJ.... you should be well pleased with the result. Will be a shame when I crash into it on the weekend.... so try and avoid my mobile chicanery ;) Thanks Alex, It has only taken me what, a year and a half to gather up all the parts?

You guys are going to have a blast! Buncha old guys with your RC hijinks and BSing. It's going to be a pretty big event, 3 days worth of vintageness. I don't have face tubes but apparently this is the place where you find all the info. https://www.facebook.com/groups/358809129010528/ ‐-------------...

Got a bit of a PB haul today , hopefully enough to fit a genuine transmission in my 3D printed mini Mustang, also Half of a one way shaft for my proper Mustang that I've been looking for for years

Saved for posterity

More mini Mustang bits

I spent a ludicrous amount of time today making one piece of rocking horse manure , I'm missing one diff outdrive for a mini Mustang so I copied one on the mill and lath in O1 tool steel , I still need to harden it but I wanted to test fit it first , its an exact copy except instead of using an 8BA ...

Looks like you built the truck right mate. You're going really well at the bash!

I concur with Mr Serious about RJ's performance. I was watching the finals on livestream. Very impressive considering the truck was finished not long before the event. Very well driven.👍 Was great to finally meet the guy, after we've given each other so much carp over the years on here! Wait! What??...
