I was mostly interested in the direct drive gearbox, but this AGI Jammer with added aero undertray feels like a real score. . 1000009649.jpg . 1000009652.jpg . I'm curious what the extra ball stud on the left side of the rear bulkhead is for. Maybe to change geometry of the rear left arm, or lock it...

I just got some 40mm flat size and they fit perfectly. (2 to 1) Cut them to 50mm in length per cell.

I decided the angled mounting of the steering servo probably needed an extra bellcrank to change direction. Just enough clearance to the shock and the mount hardware, and everything moves nicely. It ended up working really well. Over the full steering and shock compression range everything slips by ...

I hate not having the right size drill bit, so my family took pity on me this past Christmas and got me a set of letter and number coded drill bits. It is amazing how much less frustrating it it when you have the perfect drill bit size. These do not replace the regular fractional sizes, just fill in...

One of my own builds, but it makes me happy looking back at the build!

If I could jut convince RJ Speed to make their body posts in white nylon, I would be just so much happier. :) biggest secret in rc... those come from the local hardware store. Drill a couple holes...bam! Just 1/4-20 nylon bolts with a 7/64 or so hole in one end and 1/16" hole for a body pin. I...

Soldered up some motor leads. Black Dean's mini pins. When did those hit the scene anyway? I'm shooting for late '96. Probably should have a different motor, but I can't give it up...

I found a new 19D a few years ago, then this 19S popped up last week. These early 1990’s motors with ceramic shafts are really cool.

I was using those Black Dean's connectors in the Mid 1980's and then switched to the same style Red Dean's in 1990.

There from a guy called César Velayos Enríquez on facebook. I just messaged him through there. Just colored heatshrink with decals.

I wasn't sure if everyone saw this, but Fathom Events is screening Rad on March 21st in select theaters to celebrate its 40th anniversary. I will definitely try to make it. https://www.fathomevents.com/events/rad-2024/ Yea not sure if it’s noticed but kinda my fav 8) Oh, it's noticed. Also in the m...

Got a magazine I thought was a book.

Yeah this didn't work. This year I am making a conditioned shed to hold my collection.

Apart from a basher and a crawler, my collection is all Schumacher. I would keep a Top Cat, an XLS, and another Top Cat.

Have I ever mentioned that I like Top Cats?

The pre-"1985 World Champion" Trinity motors spark some interest for me. Finally worked out a deal for this one
