That's awesome! Not your usual Tamiya offering.... It appears to have some Schumacher-ey bits as well (ball cups, rear tower support). I'm in the UK, what else are we going to use for generic part but Schumacher. Most big bores fitted to vintage racers are Schumacher, because for us they rae cheape...

I think this is why Schuey used serviceable bearings on their early off-roaders. The manual told you to clean and re-oil the bearings periodically to preserve your investment. I have not been able to confirm, but I suspect the CAT bearings were actually repurposed Mini Cooper wheel bearings. :lol: O...

That's weird, I can see the pic even in the reply from phin, must be blocked on his end

aren't they the same left and right

Yeah. They are!

That's what I was thinking. I thought I was losing it.

Stickered up and final trimmed and mounted the body and wing. Wing is not perfect, really hard to get paint on the inside area of the sides but it's acceptable for a runner.

Pretty neat. I'm gonna have to open it though

My friend ran a Procat back in the day and it was so clean, with the radio running down the center spine and a saddle pack either side. If I remember it was standard Futaba s148 servo, MC 112B ES, And crystal 29Mhz receiver. As new radio is so small these days, and so are Lipo cells I'm playing arou...

Not having cut lines was common back in the day. Especially with how many bodies were intended to fit multiple applications. Only trick is having good judgement... Which is why so many bodies are cut up like deranged school projects.

Mine was the ultra rare nitro version

I should get in too before the flood of conversions come.

Today my "not a B5 rear motor" kits arrived. Quality looks great and they come with tires and wheels. Funny part is I only found out about em because of AE's post. They clearly haven't heard of the Streisand effect. So yeah, It wasn't hard to decide between two of these or a graphite 6 gea...

Made gigantic setup changes to my sons B6.4D to run a 21.5 class this coming weekend, massively increased the chassis flex via plastic side rails, removed the waterfall brace, plastic front and rear arms. Then softened up.the front and rear with 2.0mm 1.8 x 2 pistons, 27.5 wt oil, and 3.6# springs, ...

Here's my early Nitro Sport. I've always wanted to convert it into a Rustler. I used to hit the biggest dirt jumps I could find as fast as I could hit them, jumped off cliffs, attempted epic high speed drifts, and it even ended up in the San Francisco Bay at one point. Upgrades include a heavy duty ...

Too many JrX2 wheels is a problem best solved by obtaining more JrX2s.

Thanks Alex, still figuring out the site. I see you are based in Melbourne. Glad to see a fellow Aussie on here.
