I stand by my previous comment.

It actually came from my LHS.

I keep hearing how this new kit is such a pleasure to build, so I had to find out for myself. It's going to be hard to build a car straight from the box, with no modifications or upgrades, but that is the deal I made with myself.

Decided to try to actually finish this one up before diving too deep into something else. Decided awhile back that I wanted to put some more red into it, so put some different Tekin electronics in it. Factory Works cut me a rear body post mount out of some red G10. Swapped the steering knuckles for ...

Springs are done and test fit.... There was a little bit of an unexpected consequence for rebuilding the spring packs that I never thought about, but makes perfect sense. Replacing the 45 year old spring slipper pads with new ones put a little more arch back into the springs, so it will be interesti...

Been restoring mine and the Diamond 💎 One's garage over last 3 or 4th years...slow process!...used to run our mowing business and worked on full size boats and cars out of here for years....since the cost of living has gotten so high, we will never ever be able to afford any full scale stuff...ever....

The only thing missing now is the stripper pole

I found a new to me shop that’s been there for 14 years. So I had to patronize it. My son deserves a new body for his slash. G-dang those chassis are tough. I also picked up a 78 chevy body for my new sc10 build, deans connectors are so expensive now, and some body posts for the c10. https://i.posti...

I got what I believe has been the hardest part for me to find. Also in my honest opinion the single most important aftermarket part for a B4/T4. I break a lot of parts but the worst one to break even over the idler or a snapped CVD is a broken chassis at the kick up. Maybe it’s never happened to you...

I drove a mild brushless Cougar re-re in my backyard, which would not be noteworthy if it wasn't the first time in many months that I drove anything anywhere apart from brief tests.

Huh, painting the polycarbonate on the inside would make any flat paint glossy.... It won't flake off the outside any more than the inside. I'm not so sure I agree with Tamiya on that one. For what it's worth Horizon says outside. https://www.horizonhobby.com/product/polycarbonate-ps-55-flat-clear-s...

The Tamiya M-06 VW Bus model kit instructions have you buy PS-55 Flat Clear for the sole purpose of painting the outside of the body, to dull or flat the vinyl/ragtop, so it's not shiny like the paint is. You can see the halo lamp's reflection is not a complete circle because the ragtop is flat or d...

Dropped a bitchin' motor in. 87/17 combo on a SWB chassis. Ready to rip it on an ultra short track (behind the parts wall, thru the secret door of the LHS, on a Friday night in 1992). Steering would be tough though.

Are you doing any of the old racer tricks, like clamping the leaves in front of the axle and un-clamping the rear? Sorry, I didn't see your post. Probably not at this stage as I bought a set of tramp rod brackets which sort of 4 link the rear. It's a pretty simple but clever idea, I like the fact t...

Got an SC10, courtesy of the forum. Thanks everyone.
