I just spent another countless amount of hours finishing everything up. So It's officially 100% done... for now.

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...

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.

Vinyl wrapped the sides of my new to me LRP IPC speed control. The blue chrome was significantly flaking off.

Started loading up the second display case, this one is mainly motors and batteries.

That reminds me. I've got a Dean's Blackbox and some Trinity discharge resistors that I need to put together.

Painted the Schkee body on my Bolink Eliminator. Some paint boo boos here and there, but nothing that can’t be covered up by decals (plus, I’m going to run it). I had Nathaneal at MCI print me a custom sheet of fictional liveries that should be here today. It’s now got a Hobbywing 1060, Reedy motor,...

Soldered up a 10W 30ohm resistor, and started cycling some 1400mah SCR's. That reminds me. I've got a Dean's Blackbox and some Trinity discharge resistors that I need to put together. Done, and done. I had forgotten how much I hated the larger Dean's Ultra Wire. I said screw it and crimped some aut...

Now to finish the decals on the right side.

Nathaneal at MCI did an AMAZING job! The colors are gorgeous

Came across a nice little bundle. I think the Race Prep motors are really cool! Good memories of the local fast guys.

Finally scored a Race Prep motor for the case. Listed as used but it's never been soldered

It's been a while since I built an RC10. So I figured it was finally time to open a NIP Lightz oval conversion I've had for many years. There's nothing fancy on this one and I built it as more of a gearbox club racer. - Lightz oval conversion chassis - RPM 1.96 Stealth conversion - Barracuda slipper...

This is my vintage 1980s Yokomo Super Dog Fighter buggy unveiled in 2023. This build is 90% complete with period-correct batteries and electronics. I prefer the look of a lay-down receiver configuration. This allows just enough space for a low-profile servo to fit perfectly in the tight space. Defin...
