The work is not over, yet : I still need to take care of the driver and the mirrors... And as well, finish the electronics installation (not yet done on this chassis). https://i.imgur.com/DWzRC9m.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/9BF0T9C.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/9JTJbG3.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/9b04Bsq.jpeg ...

1/12 driver is so small... I decided to cheat as I did not want to paint the face... The body is a Hunter driver body scaled 80% and the the helmet is the one I did for the Super Wheelie, scaled smaller than 80%... Not sure how much I scale it down, but it is small. https://i.imgur.com/aRhy159.jpeg ...

A very cool pair of motors from Brendan2904 arrived. Much appreciated sir!
.

I was watching 2 unusual Checkpoint motors and ended up with one of them. Hopefully someone here got the other and posts up what a gem it is so I can really kick myself for missing it.

This is an oldie but a goodie. It even runs well.

I've finally started working on my old RC10L graphite car. It sat in a box for about 30 years and then got a quick run last June using 30 year old Ni-Cads that were still taped onto the chassis which ended with the left rear hub getting loose. During my RC10 Graphite rebuild I damaged the servo save...

So the last official RC race I ever participated in was at the ROAR Nationals in 1990 at the Hobby Haven Livermore Raceway in CA. I was in 6th grade, my brother drove me to the event. I wanted to be contrarian and got an ass kicking racing my Tamiya Egress. I disliked the fact everyone had an RC10 a...

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1L9VQb8eM5/ Dean Fisk has built an amazing chain drive RC10 4wd that I thought I'd share here for those not on FB 487411095_122128911746640380_4354357899110972473_n.jpg 487566792_122128911794640380_5763895041917688226_n.jpg 487680929_122128911806640380_39352900839930...

I have to confess there were less than five buggies in the F Main (crap might have been three but you all don't know) So a third place finish was a mighty achievement. I recall buying the exact pin tires Cliff Lett used at the local hobby shop...believing I could. The belief / irrational confidence ...

This is a photo from left to right of Mr & Mrs Ed Sholl, and my Grandparents Bob & Mary Schenk. Ed and Bob were both career machinists. I took the photo in 1984 where I introduced my Grandparents to Ed and his wife. Ed originally started to build this train when raising his son. Unfortunatel...

Here is another photo of just the train. Here’s a paragraph from the Bordentown NJ Alumni: Mr. Sholl’s true passion, however, was as a rail and model enthusiast. His classic Victorian home was jammed with his hobby craft-wall displays of model cars, fire trucks and toy trains, and a half-dozen mast ...

Got to make a short visit to the Vintage Clash of Champions in New Albany, IN and visit with GoMachV, jwscab and scr8p. Joe, Jason and I. Picture compliments of Jeff. Track looked great and got to watch a few good races. Have fun guys!

I spend some time over the week-end to work on this bodyshell... It's not perfect yet and still requires some minor improvements... I finished the part under the bodyshell... https://i.imgur.com/itgspBk.jpeg As last time, I printed something to help the arch cut at the rear (on the front it is not n...

Black rims. Black cells. Black soul? Sure. Since The Fall Of Old Tekin / Kevin Orton Story is my favorite thread, I wanted to build a RC that pays homage to K.O. I wish he would see my build and enjoy it. For those wo don't know it: https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=22700 I find myself in som...

This motor was filthy inside and out, had crusty old tape wrapped around the outside, and had a partially collapsed brush hood. The tape came off easily (adhesive was dried out) and it protected the decal well. . 1000015241.jpg . The armature has welded commutator and epoxy balancing. The end bell i...

There are almost no pictures of this rare device on the net. If someone owns one today, I would be happy to see a recent photo of it. The scanned material is from 1991.
