Got a dehumidifier for the workshop...was getting a little too humid in the evenings.

Vintage pan cars come roaring back to life in popularity.....rere's, vintage races, etc.....and my kids make a mint selling off my stuff, to cover my funeral, the open bar tab at the wake and a 70's rock cover band. :lol: 20241212_151927.jpg Did you solder those SCR batteries? That is amazing skill...

Thank you, Mr. Landgraff, RIP, and my respects to the Landgraff family.

A double whammy, RPM gearbox and a brown/gold Revtech. I haven't done a tooth count, but the gearbox appears to be a 2:1 ratio. 1 turn of the out drive looks like exactly 2 turns of the slipper. . 1000015522.jpg [/quote] Best guess, that Revtech's a 19T Triple, never seen one in a Track Master bag b...

Finally finished my versions of RTR.....all packed up and ready to finally hit the track again, after many years, in 2.5 weeks.

Time to get ready and pack everything... https://i.imgur.com/nwYk3dm.jpeg 25 cars, and I hope I've not forgot anything... The van is looking quite empty... I did not consider bringing more : I'm going to fetch a friend on the way, and I do not know the room he needs for his material... And I know t...

Ok....I think I figured out this video link thing.....So, FINALLY, after 2 years of hunting for parts and building an out door and indoor Composite Craft Predator Lynx....and 36 years after my last run with this, or any other RC car, at the '89 Oval Nationals.....here is a one lap shake down run vid...

Pit photo....since it's been so long....figured it was a good time to bust out the Whippoorwill t-shirt.

Taking the body off after a solid run, and finding out you guessed fairly good on the set up after 36 years...you couldn't remove my smile with a jack hammer!

Just back home yesterday from a fantastic 4-day weekend of meeting new friends in Montlucon, France (Mini Racing du Cent...
