All new electronics AND a Motown Missile!
Definetely interested in the outcome of this build

A long time ago I used to race Corally 1:10 scale pan cars. I don´t have any of them anymore. So I´ve been looking for one for my collection. A couple of weeks ago I found an add for a Corally SP10V locally. Pictures weren´t the best, it was sold as a project/scrap and the description only mentioned...

Chassis repair ongoing.
Please don't tell the wife.

Why the oven? Are you using pre-preg to reinforce the chassis? No pre-preg. Just to cold in the workshop to get the epoxy to harden properly. I put the oven on low temp for a couple of hours to speed up the process. This morning we have -11 degr C ( 12 F) outside temp. My workshop is only heated wh...

No pepperoni was harmed during the taking of this picture.

Couple of pics from this weekends work on the SP10. Cracked and delaminated corner someone "fixed" with some soft unhardened epoxy. Actually felt more like shoegoo. 20250124_195343_l.jpg 20250124_195357_l.jpg Cleaned the area and used CA with filed down carbon dust as filler. Clamped hard ...

Correct!

Thanks for playing!

First test assembly.
Since the car came with a home made alu front beam, I hade nothing to make a copy in carbon from.
So I ordered from Fibre-Lyte. They only supply in woven carbon compated to the original carbon that has no visible fibers.

Nice truck!
Let's go racing!

Cleared of the track after the winter finally seems to let up.
When that was done I raced my Blackfoot against my brothers Monster Beetle.

Still sunny weather today. So this years runners had their first run. 20250309_130834.jpg My brothers Ultima II Evo, rere transmission and shocks, JC Racing front arms, 3D- printed Pro XL rear arms, Factory Works steering, Novak 410-M1c, LRP V10 14 double brushed. My XX (CR converted), JC Racing fro...

It´s going to be sweet!
Need some initial cleaning though.

So, what do you do when you´ve torn down two complete Jrx-chassis cars to get the best parts into a -91 worlds replica and is left with a lot of parts. You also have a box full of new parts. 20250301_143443.jpg On top of that, you´ve got an unused carbon “hybrid” chassis from the GP3D -91 words kit ...
