I picked up what I thought was a brand new Proformance build back in 2018. I was sent several pics before purchasing, but some photos aren't the greatest, and it's obvious that I was not looking hard enough for flaws. To some people brand new build means a mix of new and used parts, but I digress on...

Premier Designs Bat wedge. The body that killed dirt oval

I sent a Batwedge to TBG years ago so reproductions can be bought from them.

What u mean, how’s that ? Sounds interesting …. Taken from another thread on here... The body was paper thin, and had SO much downforce that 2wd cars could run no lift just about everywhere they raced oval. The body was a pre-cursor to the Custom Works Bullet that did essentially the same thing. Co...

I’m thinking that’s probably just a degreaser…..IMG_1550.jpeg It has the same Sodium Hydroxide (lye) in it, that the aerosol does. Here's the proof :) https://i.imgur.com/Y6g430B.jpg https://i.imgur.com/wI6Hmof.jpg I did want the inside of the shocks left orange. What's everybody using to polish th...

I cannot stop buying vintage buggies. This Ultramold popped up last night on Offerup and for $150 I could not not buy it. I mean, come on. It's freaking awesome! It also came with a box of spares including a NIB set of MIP CVDs for a goldpan and a OS .15 CVR engine. Screenshot_20250116-164402_Galler...

Made my hotel reservations already

So back on page 1, I mentioned that I had no pics of my bikes. While I did eventually find 1 or 2, none were of my Haro FSX. I couldn't remember any ever being taken. A year or so ago my sister found some. I got it for my birthday in 88 or 89, so I was 11 or 12.

Bring on the carpet! I'll bring a Digger

Picked these up off eBay thinking they were interesting but discovered something else really cool about them. I worked at a major hobby shop about a block from their shop. I am going to reach out to my old employer and see if there was a relationship, as I believe there may have been based on the fa...

The board just had an unplanned downtime of 3 hours. :? I simply tried to install an antispam extension which pinned the servers CPU for some reason crashing everything. :roll: It took me an hour and a half of manipulating things to get the board working long enough to uninstall the modification. I ...

I started looking through the box of my Kyosho WaveChopper, and found the speed controller. Due to it's age, I am not sure if it works so I looked up and found a wiring diagram in case I needed to troubleshoot it in the future. I may use the same type on my dragster in the near future, so it may hel...

Finished up the paint and decals on my ReRe DS. Stock body, just with the Jon Gooding scheme.

I am about over decals right now, and wish I didn't need to mess with then for quite some time, but I think the next project will be just as dependent on them.

Currently Racing IMG_20250119_003111728_HDR.jpg IMG_20250119_145141639.jpg Racing concluded. Track is a bit tricky with low power, jumps were a bit too long for even my 17.5 buggy had to go wide for the run up of one of them. Silvercan we just had to single them. JRX ProSE did a lot better this time...

Slowly piecing the chassis together. Need to figure out the plan for the front and rear axles.
