Oh, I so wanted to mention that... but you asked us not to.

2024 is shaping up to be a very bad year... for my checking account.

Something new I started on. Fanrc chassis kit and a works 91 donor car. Cleaned up the aluminum bulkheads, finishing up on motor mount and the caps are painted and drying. Next rebuild diffs with new pulleys and install with new 2mm pitch belts.

The chassis is finished so thought I'd post an update. P1010001.JPG P1010005.JPG The tub has spent some time as a buggy so a quick coat of matte black hides the scratches.

Here are some progress pics of Grendel's resurrection. She's been in body & paint since just after Christmas 2023. I never liked the original EF8 olive green color, but I wanted to remain true to her green roots--while doing something nobody has done before. Spent hours googling green-painted ca...

I hate painting!

Can someone explain the "outlawed" front wheels story? It was the only stadium truck that had narrow front tires/wheels when it debuted at the (I think) Florida Winter Champs back in 1991. It did well, placing 1st and 2nd. There was some controversy due to the "skinny fronts" po...

Thanks! 8) The TQ10 I've also been assembling received the lone set of TQ wheels I had. In my search for another new or clean used set, I decided to take a look at some Imex dish wheels. I found a set of direct fit fronts, but had no luck finding direct fit rears. 20240330_165540.jpg The wheels are ...

Wing is done. It needed a painted wing. Clear was just too invisible.

A little more sticker-a-facation. It needed tuning for a few more mph top end speed.

Shocks are finally built using 1.02 rear and .71 front hard chrome shafts with the recommended spacers. Time to finish up the small details such as a few missing e-clips and roll pins, then I can move on the wheels and electronics.
