And now with a cage that fits the hard body

All tubed up. Just need to get a servo saver and paint up a body shell.

Here’s an update post to show where the truck is now that it’s back in my possession. I’ve already changed out the factory CZ-r head for a used Duratrax piece. I have a few more things I’d like to upgrade eventually but it will stay mostly as-is. The original goal for the truck was to envision what ...

I don’t think I’ve posted this car in a while. Better show it off now before it sells as its currently for sale. I signed up for the 13.0 bracket class, no clue what the car was going to run. After a couple of horrible launches during testing I was pretty sad. The first round of eliminations I sent ...

Forgot to update this group! The build is done, just need to spend a weekend painting the body that I mostly cleared. It’ll be box art but I will use pink (Tamiya cherry red) instead of red in homage to the original pink paint scheme :) The wheels and tires are very wobbly but ok for bashing around ...

I guess I'll close the book on this one. 20220923_144423.jpg So, the car ran pretty decent at the Vonats. I was a little worried about it durability. Had a little issue in practice. 20220923_170557.jpg The car won Best Paint in the concourse, so that was cool. 20221003_212802.jpg Qualified 4th in th...

And foam tire donuts, what to use on pargu wheels, or even vintage sees & technacraft?? Glad to see some people still here from over 10 years ago. Thanks in advance for ...

I don’t have the number handy but McMaster carr sells the nylon washers. You would need to measure one to compare. As far as donuts, I don’t know anyone still selling them but if you want tires professionally installed there is a place on Facebook called gone bananas racing skins that mounts and tru...

I guess anything can happen.

And the C is backwards. Someone was in training that day

Today I got some endmills and other tooling to play with. Never tried cutting wood (on purpose) before. I could get used to this!

Although not really vintage or particularly dirty, here's my contribution.

The first picture is a non-bec receiver. The battery and both channels share the same positive and negative rails. This can still be used with an esc with internal bec. Truthfully, most modern receivers aren't bec. Do not directly connect more than ~6 volts directly to these. Screenshot_20221023_201...
