I wouldn't have thought that my quite box stock build will disqualify me from this lovely contest till end of the year. Lessons learned of last two months: laydown suspension seems to be the winning secret. In fact I actually wanted to post another Yokomo from the 90s but Frankentruck's great suspen...

Here is a project my Son and I built together when he was in high school. It was great to share the vocational skills I learned in school that unfortunately are no longer an option in schools today...

A very unnecessary purchase It came with the documents and box.

What connectors were original to this?

To continue the trend of 1:1 manufactureres I will add the 1/4 scale Edelbrock Delara Sprint car And the Leonard Wood of NASCAR fame designed LW10

Gonna go off topic a little for a second but if you're into trans am and haven't seen the Willy T Ribbs documentary "Uppity", it's really worth the watch. Seriously great story about his battles on and off the track.

Nothing to do with RC, but that made my day yesterday. Spent some time as a Couch potato yesterday watching the Olympics... Yesterday during the Judo mixed teams final, the intensive minutes on my Garmin Fenix watch shows how much it is intense to watch such a great final... That's real couch potato...

Here's little Rudy visiting the gardens at his grandparents' house...

I've been looking at that TA body myself. It looks a little wide but otherwise, it appears that HPI did a great job replicating th...

I like 'shopping local' when I can, and with mikea96 being a talented painter it's a pretty easy choice. Some of us really really hate painting. 😁 I special ordered one and 'needed' the other. . 1000013659.jpg . I don't know what these turnbuckles are intended to go on, but I can always find a use f...

Picked up this as a partial slider and pieced it back together, mostly when parts that I already had. A stamp, modified for inline battery, DS servo saver, Factory Works towers and transmission brace, and Tamiya turnbuckles (weird, right?). Body is a JConcepts Protector with reproduction Cox Bandido...

The tips are tiny and they seem to hold well. They also reminded me about the lifetime warranty.

The plan was to work on a DS while working on a FR01, but UPS has decided I don't need that DS quite yet. :roll: So, pulled out the Hanger On that I started a couple of weeks ago and finished it up, then took it apart, then finished it up, and took it apart again, then finished it up ..................

An aesthetic update on Grendel showing off her backside. I'm going for a look that the purists are gonna hate, but I think the body color-painted bumpers and blacked-out grille and taillight surrounds will make her look more menacing. :twisted: TaillightFinishPanel-Installed1.jpg TaillightFinishPane...
