And now I am done thinking about it. Thanks!

A new radio for my Hilux build, and one of my bucket list vehicles.

This should be simple for Losi truck guys, which I am not, and not much to go on, but can these rigs be identified by just the body views?

Ignore the Traxxi in the rear.

Had a little time to play around with my new mini spot welder. Made up some cells to fit into a Tamiya hump pack. It is such a tight fit in the case that I hade to remove the skins from the cells, and only insulate where needed, so that is why it looks all trashy with the tape. It will look just fin...

mini spot welder...? Yep, it is literally just a rechargeable battery that acts like a mini spot welder. There are bunches of them on Amazon that are very similar, and probably all made in the same factory. I chose this one because it has 11 "gears" of adjustability. I just imagine the de...

So I went to pick up this handsome fella today, 100% convinced it was a DIY garage build from the pics. But after seeing it up close, it seems too nice and the pieces are machined well. I am convinced this was some sort of kit. Anyone???

Got my Hilux battery pack all glued back together, and made up new stickers for it. It wasn't until after I got the stickers on that I was reminded that the case is actually embossed with Ni-Cd and 1200mAh, which contradicts the stickers, but oh well. For a 40 year old battery, it looks pretty good.

That's a pretty nice sticker. How'd you make that? Its a two-piece sticker just printed on an inkjet and cut with a Cricut. As far as I know, there isn't a metallic material you can directly print on, so the backing is just a cut piece of silver foil sticker, and the top is black printed on clear s...

Good ol' FX-10

Been listening to this too much tonight. Getting excited about tomorrow because, although it is now August, it will be our first time taking the boat out this summer. :shock: Work, rain, HEAT have just killed boating season!! I tend to always quote some lyric of this song while we are out. avaSdC0QO...

With all the (warranted) love of Vintage Comicals these days, I think I have to try to fit in a 4th build out of this group! :D I am cheating a little bit as I did pick up another basically full car for peanuts awhile back, so the original stash is a little bigger. Not sure how I will go about it, b...

I am listening to a little of this, and a bit of The Band, in remembrance of Robbie Robertson. This song came out when I was 13, and I have no idea why it has always been a fascinating song to me, but it has. It comes across as a bit corny today, but still just a great song to me! This was before I ...

Just a random pic that means really nothing. In a side deal made while I was buying an old school funny car last week, I spied a B2 on the seller's shelf, and offered a passive interest in it although I REALLY wanted it. Come to find out, he was very reasonable with it, and it came home with me. I h...

Mock up chassis started. Went pretty well, as there are really only two cuts that need to be adjusted some, and it should all come together nicely.

100% proof of concept. Lots of filling, sanding, filling, sanding, etc to do on the tub, but it is coming together.
