I was expecting multiple cars / parts to come in this week, but US Customs and USPS have decided I shouldn't have any of these yet. :roll: So, I needed a "quick" project for my Saturday night (MIL is now staying at my house so Friday and Saturday nights aren't what they used to be), and ma...

Then I noticed on the instructions that came with the solid axle (in Japanese) that there was a 0.2mm spacer pictured on one side of the axle, before the bearing. Could that possibly make the difference? Yep..... a 0.2mm spacer is the difference between gear mesh and skipping mesh. Could have knock...

The TC4 is coming together well for a nothing build. Found some no-tread tires for the front. I am sure I have something better somewhere, just haven't found it yet. The back wheel track is on point, and the front may still be a bit narrow ............. but they are only on with about 1/2 wheel nut ...

That is the fun part of trades! It isn't really about actual value vs actual value. It is about making a deal that satisfies the interests of the parties. I have had Clods, and I own an Infraction, and for me, the Infraction has more value to me, and if I were in your boots, I would do the deal. But...

Well, I spent another week mostly in a hotel, and the USPS and US Customs have delayed my builds another week, so time to dig out a build for the weekend. It is supposed to rain through Saturday night, so great time to build. I thought about the potentials the whole trip home today, and decided that...

Got a bit done on the Fiero this evening. No major issues so far. Slap on the MSC in the morning, and this thing will be in the paint shop in no time.

Woke up and finished the Fiero mechanically. I have to be in the mood to paint, and I ain't feeling it today. The TC4 from last weekend needs paint also, so maybe I will wait until I have three cars that need paint, and just do them all at once.

With the Fiero at a stopping point, and the rain pouring, I started into the next build. This is only my second motorcycle, and they definitely make for interesting builds. When you screw up building a car; fine, go fix it. When you screw up on a bike; take the whole thing apart, fix it, and then pu...

I haven't gotten in a good RC hunt roadtrip in some time, so headed a couple hours away this morning. The STs were the original deal, and then the Optima became an unexpected side deal.

Edit: Nope, gonna play nice.

As I feel like I have used this thing twenty times today, I wanted to add this to this thread. This is a golf club shaft clamp for vises that I bought years ago for, well, club shafts. But, it works very well in the RC build world. The main opening is great for tubing and such, and there is a second...

Picked up a little local deal at lunch time today. I'm referring to it as BBNR (built but never ran). I don't know if that acronym is a thing, but I buy quite a few rigs in that condition, so I am going with it. It is a 1st gen TA02 F150. He even threw in 3 unopened cans of Tami paint, which are wor...

Great ad! Great truck!!
