I also have a few pair of 3/8 x 5/8 bearings in the box. They come in handy for 6 gear outdrives.

The stickers were to get me to the free shipping threshold. And I like stickers.

I like weird speed controls. I think this AstroFilght 205 counts. It says it's for 6 to 32 cells. Oh boy!!! 💥😁 I guess they were trying for the drag racing scene. . 1000011795.jpg . [edit #1] Well, not so much 'Oh boy' from this one. Garry said it was OK in March 1992. It's less than OK in June 2024...

The AstroFlight Model 205 is a non-BEC speed control that has no power shut-off switch.

I'm currently committed to a different bin box but this might help someone else that's still looking. It does look like a reasonable price and nice setup.

Is that thing turbo charged? It got a hemi?

Nice paint work!

I knew about Trinity motors and Kyosho cans, but I'd never seen a Checkpoint with a Kyosho can before.

I'd like to compare that back to back with a normal Challenger just to see how different it drives. It does look like oil changes would be easier, so there's always that.

Painted up with a paasche In Boston, this is a Paasche So the blonde house painter was going door to door looking for work. At the 3rd house she stopped at, the person said his house could use some painting. "Here's 40 gallons of yellow paint. It should be enough to do the entire house includi...

This is a really good re re year!

Creeping forward with this. I haven't decided on buggy or truck. So far the answer is 'Yes.'
