Almost 9 months mark on a project worth a picture...

Today was shock tower day. Opening the bags was somewhat stressful since I had never seen the rear tower in the wild. I drilled two upper holes for the rear tower to mount properly to the RPM rear bulkhead. The front bolted up as expected. I'll most likely use 3/4 shcs for the upper & lower shoc...

The two options we have are aluminum with bent sides or 5mm carbon fiber with the option to add side rails. Guys are running 4mm carbon currently and the flex isn't that terrible. Since weight isn't a huge concern I am liking the aluminum option. Here's what I have being cut to test with

Finally got some done on the graphite tub.

This started as a project for a friend, but in the process of drawing it up and getting parts together I decided that I needed one too. The suspension arms, bellcranks, shock towers, battery cups, chassis, top plate, etc. were all designed by studying photos of the original 1991 buggies, RC10, and R...

MSP RC coming out with stamped aluminum chassis. Per their site, all three pieces should only be $130 total. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100085054200314 RC Fan is also working on a stamped chassis. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1577868832464163/user/100003755256900 Someone whip up a qu...

I decided to do a couple of things this morning. RPM 7089 translucent center link, 7338 translucent white rod ends, and vintage (not the newer retro) 1990 Lunsford Ti turnbuckles. I was careful not to mar the rod ends. Lengths were measured using my Ultra mold buggy. CC-RPM-Worlds7 (Large).jpg CC-RP...

It's electrified!

Mounted the Hobbywing 1060 and Novak XXL on a piece of Kydex and routed all the wiring underneath.

That 15T Orion SV2 is probably overkill for a Blackfoot, but damn it looks good.

Built, never run, Traxxas Eagle. One little mark on the top of the chassis, and a couple of flat tires. Protective clear cover on the bottom

well there has been a long gap for update pics, but I have been running this for a couple weeks now and really enjoying this, it does well against the modern cars and I couldnt be happier running it. I have a spec 17.5 system in it.

I decided to build the tranny today. Lots of bags were opened up. Low and behold I didn't have the Hydra thrust bearing bag in the pile. Fortunately I had a few spares in my hydra stash bag. Everything went together nicely, and I only had to fight with one of the threaded inserts to allow the 2-56 s...
