This next build will be for all the 90's movie lovers (back when movies were great) I always loved the Kill Bill movies Franchise and as a truck lover I just went crazy when I first saw the scene with the P#ssy Wagon.The bright yellow and red just screamed 90's, so being I love to build trucks, I fe...

So after much annoyance with manufactures not posting the specs for their wheels I'm starting to populate a list of wheels and their specs myself. Measuring the outside width, and backspacing from the mounting surface to the rear of the wheel along with putting part numbers and links if applicable. ...

Front bumper and underguard made from Kydex. It's based on a Pro 10 bumper. It'll do a good job of protecting the pivot ball screws.

Hello everybody :wink: A picture of a car with a paint done for a vintage race in Normandy, France (not far from Omaha Beach) in November 2023. The paint makes the body looking like a "steel machine", I like it. Have a great week-end, https://nsm09.casimages.com/img/2024/06/29//24062901304...

Since many may be grilling tomorrow. I've laughed about once an hour today at this, probably partly because of my love of Poison.

Made some progress

The wing mounts tapped to M2.5 but I'm not sure if I'll keep it as I found the JJ ultima wing kits, and I'm liking the old school wire thing.
See how it pans out.

Trial fitting the front steering spindles and carriers with some lightly RB5 parts i had lying around.

Had to strip the car down, refinish chassis(wrong color) and relocate bellcranks...got battery mounts done too....processing nicely....batteries (Sanyo)/Novak esc, Tekin receiver up next

Now waiting on body posts, and for the Diamond One to finish the body and wheels/tires....remember, he's doing it the way he raced it back in the late 80's

Couldnt resist another Futaba 3PD PCM 1024 set, this one still with box and instructions, the NIcd etc is well past its best, but barely a scratch on it.

Yes, we ran these tires on a very loamy track in 88'

it's early, but this is the start...yes it will have an ORV tranny with a visible Chain...parts painted by the One..stay tuned

Can't ever pass up a good deal on a Le Mans.
