Awww yeah!

Stickered.

Just did this up for a reference as there is no listing anywhere. This is not all the screws, but it is good for basic reference. side bulkhead to chassis m2x8 flat head link to side bulkhead/rear carrier m2x8 socket head battery box to chassis m2x8 flat head battery box hinge m2x10 socket head ante...

Got a nice looking Peak Racing Griffin motor. Unfortunately it's only nice looking. The endbell is a loose fit with no good way to tighten it. This one is destined just to be a display motor. I guess that's ok. The weird round body brushes would probably be hard to find spares. . PXL_20220801_202730...

Schumacher Stagger Rib & VEE 2, and JConcepts Carvers & Pin Downs truck tires. schumacher tires.jpeg jconcepts tires.jpeg Snagged some Novak stickers and a brush hood alignment tool off ebay. Got my very first NiMH battery for certain brushed motor vehicles. Resized_20220801_195709_2583.jpeg...

Well yet again I can never sit still, way too much of my Grandpa Murphy in me. He always had to be doing something. Spent the past 5 days working about 10hrs per day redoing the gun room. Ran out of room so needed to extend the slatwall. So figured while I had it all torn apart I would redo the enti...

Got some fun today. Some of which I'm quite familiar with (Green Machine 2s, Midnights, Fantoms) the others not as much. Some of these have near 0 wear, like they were broken in and then just put away. 🤷 Never seen or heard of the Race Prep Chi Town Hustler, Losi Super Insane, or Pretty Puny Sissy L...

So I couldent resist. I bought the red one, Figured as it's my first ever Losi!.. I have a few mods in mind. Swapping the wheel nuts for white nylone. Thinking of painting the receiver/esc case orange. Try to source mini-T 1.0 springs. I've ordered JRX2 decals and panel decals in 1/16 scale from MCI...

So I've often wondered what YFS was on some button and flat head 4-40 screws that I've seen over the years, but I haven't bothered to look it up until now. Apparently YFS stands for Fang Sheng Screw Co. (Taiwan). They've been around since 1979. AFAIK none of my vintage RC10's have YFS heads, but I a...

Not to get political, but "Made in Taiwan" and "Made in China" don't have the same stigma.

Spotted this as part of a Ultima pro rebuild in an auction site here in New Zealand.
Managed to convince the guy to seperate it and sell it to me.
Going into my JRX-Pro build, not that many vintage 20 plus year old Losi parts around in this country, needs a rebuild and new decal.

I don't really collect Hot Wheels, but I have a soft spot for KITT. Such a cool TV car. It seemed kind of like an oversized RC car. Maybe I'll need to see if I can make an RC replica someday with an oscillating red led light strip. It would be several cars back on the project list though. . PXL_2022...

If you feel the need to get super nerdy into Knight Rider, do yourself a favor and check out the Knight Rider Historians: https://www.knightriderhistorians.com/ Their Youtube channel is pretty interesting. They own at least one on-screen KITT car (most were destroyed for legal reasons, great story),...

Update on the 1/16 scale Team Losi JRX2. Painted the rx/esc orange. Was not able to swap the negative motor wire to a blue one as the rx/esc is filled with epoxy. Deans conector. Fabricated a front bumper out of 1.5 millimeter Kydex. White nylon wheel nuts. And a couple of stickers. I figure the cha...
