It's those damn aliens again.

Got a Team Orion SV2, Speedworks Caliber, and a old Green Machine 1. I actually made a offer on these about a month ago but it was declined. They never did sell and the price dropped to the same as my original offer, so I decided to get them. Screenshot_20221208-133733_Gallery.jpg Also got this Wiha...

I have bought Schumacher ball studs from different series, all fit my Associated, RPM, and Custom Works cups fine.

I don't know of anyone offering a female threaded version in 4.3mm right now.

Tamiya has a "5mm" female that works nicely with 4.8mm cups. It also uses M3 threads.

Was going through some old boxes and came across my first charger. Screenshot_20221209-153553_Gallery.jpg Screenshot_20221209-153611_Gallery.jpg Still has the original Kyosho connector (backwards Tamiya), as my first car was Kyosho based. I'm sure that many of us had something similar. I used it for...

For instance the long Trackmaster diff shaft, one of mine has it and I yes of course the longer threaded end makes simple clear sense but the need for the screw on the opposite side kind of perplexed me until now :D I have one as well. I always figured that the screw was for simplifying assembly an...

I tried a set of those tires on some JConcepts Detonator wheels, but the sidewalls rubbed on the carriers. They may have cleared truck carriers but I never got around to trying.

The wife got me a Blackfoot.
She was going to get me a new charger as well but I was busy and never told her which one. That's okay, I'll buy it myself and get the points and discounts at Amain.

Yeah, it sucks on the Gulf Coast as well.

Got a Sassy Chassis RC10 chassis. It has some extra holes in it from a nitro conversion but it isn't horrible. It was cheaper than a nose plate and I wanted something different.

No clue. I bought the chassis from Dynotech.

They may have bought it and stripped it.

Got the driver figure, lights, and decals finished.
Just need some AmPro chassis braces and this one will be done.

Check out the layered fog in this one. I took this last month.

The RPM is a vast improvement over the original pieces. IMHO, the original setup is probably the RC10's biggest problems. It wasn't corrected until the Worlds car, which basically used a cheap copy of Hogue bellcranks. Shock towers are easy. Originals are still common, JConcepts makes some, Vintage ...
