Cleaned up the rear dogbones, drive cups and front universals with a wire brush in the Dremel and some sandpaper. I had to knock a bend out of one of the universals with a hammer. The whole lot was coated with Tamiya black spray paint to stop the dreaded surface rust reforming. Added the wheel tyre ...

Man these are my favorite cars. Im working on building my collection around the variations of the Lazer. I always thought they were the coolest looking cars from ~`90. Did you score this locally?

Hi, After a more than 20 year break from RC I got hooked again a while ago. While cleaning at my fathers place, I found my old stuff. An original HotShot, an Optima Mid, a Schumacher touring car and my last competition Losi XX Cr. It took me a while to go through and restore some of them. I then rea...

That’s a beautiful car. Just yesterday I came across someone local selling a “Lazer”; no other details other than it’s in great condition. He’ll be sending me photos tomorrow. These were never imported here, and I’m willing to bet it’s the only one in the country. I am so hoping, first, it’s not a S...

An unbuilt Trinity Evo 10 and an Andy painted body, that I won in a raffle over on Old School RC.
Now I have to decide if I'm going to build it, or leave it unmolested. If I do build it, I don't know if I can bring myself to poke holes in the body though...

I have a question for you: Why are the top shaft different between the two gearboxes? Design change from Losi or aftermarket? 20210124_110642.jpg Talked to Gil about this a few years ago. The actual issue was consistency of product. The brass gear didn't always get pressed on the to the shaft at th...

Arms and carriers are Traxxas rustler/stampede
The axle appears losi and also the diff halves.

Another cheap chassis saved from landfill.... Tamiya TB01. TB01.jpg Not perfect by any means, but has the shock towers and a bunch of other parts missing from my much nicer project car.... so between the two, will be able to produce a nice runner ( :shock: :roll: :lol: ) with a good haul of spares. ...

Waiting on the opening of the trans...

That gearbox was made by the guys that made Stonehenge! Might last as long too!

Its a double turn, so its an "Insane" (15x2) or a "Killer" (14x2)...the "Brutus" which is the holiest of holy grails is a triple (16x3)

I’ll just add.. no matter how long you keep something.. if you throw it out, 2 weeks later you will need it! Never throw anything out!! When I rolled into my last job, there was legacy "junk" in every nook and crannie. At first I thought "imma ckean this place up!" Then I though...

U reckon it would out pull a MRP High Roller or original Tamiya Bruiser in 1st gear?

I have seen quite a few Kentucky championship r/c pulling events locally. This is in fact set up as a puller. I have sen a lot of gear reduction transmissions like this one. Most I have seen used in the pulling tractors due to the narrow tractor bodies but I have also seen them in many others. As fa...
