One project wrapped up, mostly 😉. I've got some aluminum wheels for it that need 2" tires. I'm thinking a set of Schumacher T650 spikes are just the ticket. The OEM tires are just to blah. For now, it will wear my OG Turbo Optima's shell until I can locate it at my parent's place. No risk of th...

Looking good are you going to keep the rear tires or get some of the square blocks? Marwan is close to releasing the square blocks. https://marwanrc.com/shop/ols/products/w5031-square-blocks

Thanks :D Since this is an old build I also know that I grew fond of how it's driving. There is no harm in stiffening that flimsy upper lip followed by the long configuration nose forward. So, to further contribute to stiffness in the longitudinal direction, I once again ended up with A&L. In th...

An off the wall one I'm not going to link because it's got just a little vulgarity, is the video for the Drum and Bass track, "Joyride", by Amaro and Walden, which features animated characters cruising and getting into trouble around London in a Tamiya Wild Willy. I get the hesitation... ...

My wife said that we needed to do something with the old entertainment center in the back room, so I moved it across the hallway and put it to use. 20240203_153913.jpg It still provides entertainment as well. It has an Orb Audio Mini T amplifier with a Bluetooth adapter, powering a set of Klipsch bo...

I now have a dedicated set of axle pin pliers. I probably should drill a little pocket hole in the other side to steady axle pins for installation.

Hi everyone, I just joined today and appreciate having this be my first post of hopefully several. I have been in and out of RC since I was a young teen and now that I am 46, I feel like that young teen again working on my Pro SE. Long story short, I bought a JRx Pro in 1990 that I still have in the...

So after building the JJ I decided to do a bit of tinkering to it to better suit my home track, RCM, which is high grip grey carpet. I used the Turbo Scorpion wheels with JC fuzz bite tires. Front wheels i cut off the inside bead and left the inner rib to fit the skinnier front tires. IMG_20240211_1...

IMG_6256.jpeg IMG_6251.jpeg IMG_6253.jpeg Did a few more things yesterday while I wait for parts. Completed assembly of the hydra drive by piecing parts together from eBay finds. Forgot about the silver spring. Had to purchase that separately along with a rebuild kit. Filling it up was no easy task...

Impressive build. Sympathies on the crash. Devastating to say the least.

I love to restore more than building new out the box. Its just something about bringing old forgotten RC'S back to life so when I came across someone who had this old blackfoot body and Sees Aluminum wheels with a vintage Sassy Chassis thats been sitting in his basement for over 20 years I just had ...

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....
