Hobbywing Quicrun 1060 for $20 is hard to beat.

I think the manual hubs were gone by the time of the Bruiser. They were a Hilux and Blazer thing.



"One day."

Anyone have actual experience with bodies that will fit / look right on a Hot Trick Frog Prince chassis? My chassis is relatively complete except for both means of body mounting; I don't have the side angle aluminum for buggy mounting, nor do I have the "erector set" looking mounts for the...

Pandemonium!! This thing popped up on my suggestions on eBay, for no reason, but it caught my interest because it was only $26 with a couple of days left. It didn't look like much on top, but the bottom pic sold me; this thing is mint underneath ............... except for missing the battery cover, ...

My $20 RadioLink Receivers come with "Gyros" which help with keeping a vehicle going straight. Spektrum "AVC" receivers cost about 5 times as much. You may be suffering from cultural lag which is preventing you from seeing that 2.4gz tech has come down greatly in price over the p...

Well, I had to work anytime the sun was out for the past couple of days, so it was time to pull out the WalMart top sheet for Glamour Shots day!! :D BOLINK INVADER OR 13.jpg BOLINK INVADER OR 15.jpg BOLINK INVADER OR 16.jpg BOLINK INVADER OR 22.jpg BOLINK INVADER OR 23.jpg BOLINK INVADER OR 24.jpg B...

The creative cutting for the shocks opens up some other candidates!

I was quick to enter this time because I wanted to get that first impression out there. Then for the next couple of days, I was just like Yea, probably gonna lose to that guy. Definitely gonna lose to that guy. Probably lose to that guy. also Not a chance against that guy. That guy is just ridiculou...

Well, I finished up the O/R, so time to get into the 2nd Invader of my trifecta. This one will just be set up as a typical pan car Invader. This one is just going to be a refresh, not a show restore. I started off with an early version green chassis, and I initially wanted to stay with that, but it ...

Then moved onto the front. Just more cleaning and reinstalling. Most of the hardware on this build is new. I stupidly thought most of the fasteners with 4-40, so didn't really order anything, and then found out is is actually mostly 5-40. :roll: I found enough screws in the stash to make it work, an...

For Mother's Day, always remember to treat your mother right!!!

Well, I felt guilty about being lazy on the rear driveshaft / diff set up, so I cleaned up the original set and got it installed. There isn't a lot of difference between the two, but I just felt like the car should have the earlier style that it came with. Later on top, earlier on bottom. INVADER 10...

Then I started thinking about electronics. I picked up an old NIB AristoCraft / HiTec "Challenger" system, with two servos and a non-BEC Rx, a few weeks ago from an estate sale, and since I wanted to run a MSC on this, that system just spoke to me to be used on this car. The problem is tha...
