Some random stuff.

JR decals, discharge resistors, shock springs, and some Paragon motor kits.

I voted for the Tekin car, just because its different.

Not all today, but I've been fiddling with this ORV a bit. The rear tires, shock mounts, and steering rods are all place holders, until I get what I want. Screenshot_20230513_192644_Gallery.jpg I did the front with a mixture of Frog and Blackfoot parts. I got some Duratrax shocks in the rear, with b...

That high of ratio ehh? I was thinking around 21-22t. It’s. Reedy radon 15t motor The original 10T has a 2.25:1 transmission ratio, while newer trucks have 2.4 or 2.6 ratios. So you can't directly compare the pinion size to that of newer trucks. As a general baseline, something in the 10-11:1 overa...

Painted this short arm car. I thought the paint was darker than that but whatever, it doesn't look bad.

It looks like a foam block against the esc.

Painted this short arm car. I thought the paint was darker than that but whatever, it doesn't look bad. Screenshot_20230516_205524_Gallery.jpg That looks good! What color is it? Tamiya PS-8. Because of the wing design, I had to use several coats of paint. By then, the paint was heavy enough that a ...

Got a Dynamite Tazer esc, Heng Long esc, and Trinity 19T motor. All bench tested good. Not that I needed any of it but it was only $9 shipped.

Yesterday evening and today, FXT work. Painted the body, put decals on, and dyed the wheels black. I still intend to paint the wheels gunmetal to match the originals, but both me and the LHS are out at the moment. I figure that dying them black should serve as a good base color, instead of using bla...

I always assumed Shaggy stayed thin by indulging in a bit of "recreational smoking".

I assumed that was why he was always hungry.

You can remove the existing mount and use a puretech Velcro strap. It’s backed with adhesive so it can be used without drilling the chassis or slimming down the battery mount That's the ticket! I was not going to be modifying any of the factory parts or drilling the chassis so this is freakin aweso...

Last few days, after work. Got the Sidewinder body and wing fitted on my TQ10.
Fitting it posed a few issues. The Sidewinder is wide in the nose area and the extra tall A&L/FW tower is a little narrower than normal.

Paint and decals on the TQ10. It still needs a few touches but I think it looks pretty good.

Those sound perfect, for a shelf car.

Don't glue them together, it will make them stiff in the middle.
