I started into designing a sticker for a Novak Rx I had, and then dove in the "gallon bag" of ESCs to find a sample that had a good case, but bad sticker, so I could print stickers to match. To my surprise, I found an ESC with no sticker at all, so that won by default. Kinda took it apart ...

He is what I am NOT watching! Smokey and the Bandit II popped up on my Amazon recommended movies the other day, and I thought that I had watched it 40 years ago or so, and it couldn't be that bad since the first one was so good ..................... wow, was I wrong! :( I think I made it about 30-35...

TM OVAL CAR 8.jpg The rear end is waiting for the Badger rear shock tower to show up from FTW, and then final install can take place back there. TM OVAL CAR 9.jpg I know the whole thing looks almost comically wide at ...

The drawing was fun to watch. I am still in awe of actual paper strips in a pail. The old school method goes along so well with the premise of the site. :D Couple of ideas I had while watching. The winner is: The name drawn at pick XX (20. 25, 30, etc) or A name picked in back to back draws (JosephS...

Loving it!

What is the initial concept of keeping it going straight?

Have a few small issues to work out before it is ready for glamour shots, but the body is basically done.

Not sure if you knew this but the Gambler sprint car chassis company was named after Kenny Rogers and basically advertised him for 20 years. I did not know this, but as someone who puts Kenny Rogers on a very high pedestal, it does not surprise me! I am now seeing inspiration for my future Ascot bu...
