My list of 'must have' motors is getting closer to completion. It took a few months to make a Solid deal to get this one. It's a very nice running 9x2 and in the gently used condition that I prefer over new in package. I don't feel bad hooking this one up and making it go Vroom Vroom! . 1000014028.j...

I haven't tried fitting outdrives yet, but I took care of replacing the banged up side plates with some freshly cut Factory Works parts. Thanks again Jeff!

I don't swing that way.

The bearing holes needed to be opened up a few thousandths. Same with the screw holes for the spacers. But that's better than starting with oversized holes.

The G10 plates you ordered look nice! I considered that option too.

I'm sure it's a little different shape for Ultima vs RC10 but overall probably very similar.

That is one shady model

I've wanted a nice Bud's modified for a while and finally was able to get my hands on a nice 12 double. I don't collect the Speed Gems 2 motors, but for some reason I snagged this one. It's probably not long term in my collection. The Victor 1A rounds out my Victor collection pretty well. The one it...

What are those awesome front tires?

sandkil used a NOS Bud's motor in an insane speed run build a while back and it had a white label too, but I can't see the writing on it. That doesn't mean the motors were always done the same though. "This little label is different! You'll never work at Bud's again!!! You're fired!!!" . 1...

Thanks. So #7241 without the black marker looks like a correct Bud's label, and it is a 12x2 per the armature. Whether it's an Oval track motor is uncertain but possible.

The 'after' has a vintage RC look to it. Good recovery.

I've been liking the Kimbrough on my main radio

Holy Cow!!! Do they have an RC10CC trade-in program? They never would have sold those if they'd started with this cool stuff!

A never been in production Masami race car is probably asking too much.

I feel like these newly added, out of stock items mean something.

The late CE gold pan had a Viper body and a zebra mix of black and white nylon parts. It also had the 6 hole front shock tower. It could be that.
