This Evening.

So last weekend I went to the Jconcepts INS race at Adrenaline R/C Raceway in Winchester, VA. I raced this in the 17.5 Independent class. The car worked pretty well. I tried some different setups.... mainly tire and spring changes, but by the time the mains came around on Sunday I was back to where ...

Nearly done with the t3 I finally can make nice nonwrinkled pieces IMG_2267.jpeg No wrinkles in the bag or release film IMG_2269.jpeg Nice smooth finish inside I am going to do a cosmetic layer to clean up the rear bulkhead. I may do another external layer if the diamond plate takes to long to fix T...

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

Picked this up as part of a bulk buy fairly recently - it was thrown in because it had jammed so was basically a freebie. All it had in it when i stripped it was a grub screw inside which had prevented it spinning. Label is pretty much perfect. It is a 13 turn Platinum II. What is pretty interesting...

RC10DS White Parts Special. A project that was almost complete minus a body. I was gifted a Vaterra 1967 Mustang fastback body a few years ago. I decided to mount that body onto a DS chassis for this months's BOTM. The original DS wheels were swapped out for a set of Protoform VTA wheels. This was m...

First stage complete! The wheels turned out to be the original kit wheels that were brush painted black. The pink was protected by the paint so it’s still super rich and not faded at all! Gave the chassis a quick wipe down and the metal parts a good polish. Also started to take the paint of the wing...

Turnbuckles and shocks installed. Changed the chassis to a servo cutout one because I have other plans for the Proformance chassis. Both front and rear body mounts are new and not trimmed..that’s why they look like skyscrapers.. https://i.postimg.cc/cJHsP6hh/DFAE0-B55-41-F0-4-D57-9-E20-12-B1-ED430-F...

Some time ago I came across an Ebay listing for an old Hyperdrive car. The seller mentioned it was an old National record holder in its day. I was interested but let it pass and moved on. The listing was removed so I figured it sold long ago. Then a year or so later, it shows back up on Ebay so this...

Just bought this heap off eBay cool part is it still has the original sales receipt from 1982. Any reason the tires would be covered in silicone?? Better traction? 01C3DAF0-372C-4D07-8A6B-14D5AF5E896A.jpeg A5B552F0-BB5C-4582-B0C0-3D53689F573D.jpeg 38528070-9646-4BE6-BA61-92331D4ECA8B.jpeg 93B4B2E0-6...

I feel like this gear drive should be the starting point for a home brew airboat or hovercraft. The Leisure Modified motor attached is nice though and might have to get swapped out for a runner instead. . PXL_20230606_185206590~2.jpg . The endbell markings on the AYK Magnum confuse me. The + and - m...

Got my custom graphics from MCI for the rocket car (which is now called "The MAX Q")....plus some composite engines to test...trying to set a 1 sec et/mph record 20230607_175908.jpg The Slingshot decals are for the Slingshot I restored, want a more early 90's/late 80s paint scheme...plus I...

This is the place to discus the: "Ultimate Vintage Brushed Motor Reference Guide" For cleanliness and clarity, it was decided to no longer allow posts to be made in the actual topic itself. The discussion regarding it can be made here instead in this spin-off thread. This also serves as th...

Chassis came in today. Looks amazing! Now I need to wait for the Truck Nose Plate, they go into production soon.

So I got very lucky again and a guy on the IconicRC Fb page offered to send me a free but used original and super rare Pro10 body shell. As soon as it arrived I stripped the questionable stickers and 80’s-fied it! Really pleased with the final look! 645BFCCC-F2AF-4ABB-BC47-479041277DC8.jpeg B51506B4...
