My re-re Schumacher parts stash had gotten out of control, so I finally sorted it. It is still a mess, but at least one box is chassis parts, one box suspension, one box shocks.... Considering how much I have amassed in a few years basically supporting just 2 kits (OG CAT and ally pan 2WD), I couldn...

I have had this, relatively inexpensive, table top drill press for probably about 20 years or so. I just realized, or have long since forgotten, that it is adjustable speed. :shock: I actually discovered this by looking at FBMP for a replacement (with multiple speeds), and stumbled across the same o...

Are you using the Sharpie trick?
Hit the Comm with a marker before you cut.

And don't stop mid pass, maintain a continuous and constant speed for each pass

Oh, and always make sure the tool carriage is on the load side of the feed screw when you cut.

Not sure if I'm more jealous of having the tools, or knowing how to use them...

When you want the cheapest Chinese motor money can buy, just say...

Melted hole in the roof fixed. Super Champ-esque roof section fitted. It'll look better after a polish and the rest of the body is finished.

Over the last few months I have slowly rebuilt a Wild Willy. I picked it up cheap and found a few broken parts, modeled them and printed replacements including having a stainless steel 3d printed axle tube made. Soaked the body in LA's Awesome for a couple days to get the three layers of paint off. ...

While I was waiting for the TBG TQ10 body to make its way through the USPS black hole, I decided to slap together a Graphite basket case that has been warming the shelf for a number of years. I decided to be a little less strict on my OEM only rule, so there will be a few parts substitutions along t...

Machining some big bore spring collars for Associated shocks. 1.jpg Handy having machine tools. Very Nice! What model number Sieg you got there? Are you happy with it overall? Certainly looks like it! Thanks. It's an SC3 brushless model. Yep. I'm very happy with it. Enough size and power for my app...

An Invader Oval Racer rear pod, a Twisters motor, and three MSCs from one FBMP deal. Hot Trick towers and battery straps from Factory Works (chassis for color reference, and the match is fantastic!), and a plethora of B&R motors from Frankentruck.

Got me a Tekin dyno, so that my Bud's dyno will have some company on the shelf.



I realize that I have a oversized mailbox but this is ridiculous.

Hi,

I'm still working on some electro fixing .

Here are some progress pics of Grendel's resurrection. She's been in body & paint since just after Christmas 2023. I never liked the original EF8 olive green color, but I wanted to remain true to her green roots--while doing something nobody has done before. Spent hours googling green-painted ca...
