Hey guys, Been a long time since I posted something up on the forum. Today, I will share the resto I did on this near mint Turbo Optima Mid. This is the car as I got it from a buddy of mine: https://www.kyosho-optima.com/optimaphotos/KYOSHO_TURBO_OPTIMA_MID_RED/TurboOptimaMid-Red12.jpg https://www.k...

I was touring Facebook and Andy (yes, that Andy) posted this beautiful pup needed to be rescued. So I tortured over it (we havent had a pet in nearly 20 years) and went to pick her up. A lovely Husky (I think a little Malamute mixed in) with gorgeous crystal blue eyes. She hopped right into the back...

Hi! Regarding the body, as I did not found a decent XXT-CR body, I purchased a TBG body. Regarding the look, the rear is OK but the front is too "round" (I prefer the edgy shape of the original body...). Anyway, If I find one day an original one, I will change the body; for now it should b...

Highly RPM'ed out Losi JRX2 with box art variation.

Camino sport 2000
Not touched it , in its 30+ yrs raw form
The body will need some tlc as the OG owner must have pre cut the shell with an old dog bone !

Hi All,

I've uploaded the 1989 Ifmar worlds held in Australia. I downloaded this many years ago and it seemed to disappear off the internet. Luckily I found a copy on an old backup I had.
Cheers

So many great cars & trucks here guys! It's been ages since I've touched anything RC related, but my collection still shines bright in the corner of our living room

Here is a Yokomo YZ10 Pavidis Edition with the 97 JMRCA Specification parts installed. These 3 specific parts were used in prototype form by the Yokomo Team at the 1997 IFMAR Worlds Warm-Up event and later that year released in production form and won the 1997 All Japan National Titles driven by Mas...

I don't know much about this single belt conversion kit for XX4. If you have any information to share about the purpose or performance impact of this conversion please share! This was the first kit offered by X factory according to their manual. The spur gear is super large! The composite molded gra...

I cleaned it up a bit.

Used the Dot3 trick to strip the paint and do a quick box art version.

A couple weeks ago at coxbros1 and TheDiamondOne's place. This is the display Derek has at his place. None of their modern racers or monster trucks in the main display. The meticulous placement of different colored LEDs to accentuate the individual cars really makes a difference. You can really gras...

Massive thank you to Larry Doe for helping me get this period correct. 278311987_10114762413736431_911648975327396927_n.jpg 278332207_10114762413841221_6562622479718398430_n.jpg 278282070_10114762413746411_4175226724889189498_n.jpg 278200677_10114762413856191_6756011984894942900_n.jpg 278495726_1011...

Got it back together. Whoever was in this motor before, had the armature endplay way too tight. I adjusted the endplay and centered the armature in the magnetic field. I reassembled it with new Trinity springs and the old brushes. I checked rotation before installing the decal, so that everything wo...

One of those well intentioned, poorly conceived exercises in adolescent impatience and disappointment. Lesson learned. :lol: Sounds familiar... I had a box delivered from TBG. Including decals from MCI. 8) And then I took a deep breath and started cutting and masking and painting and applying decal...
