We both will have similar cars and can see who power drift crashes the best! :mrgreen: I must say im pretty good :lol: That DS Mustang crash you recorded was worthy of NASCAR highlight film. Oof! 😁 Looks like the voting ended and TDO's Optima Pro eeked out the win! Congrats! A really nice example o...

There probably are others, but both Wimpy and Black Magic modified motors had the black can and Air Supply endbell configuration that could match the photo. The Black Magic label is small and could be hidden without removing it by installing the label side down.

A really nice time capsule came my way. All it needs is a good cleaning and a body. The original owner seems to have taken really good care of it. I'm not sure if I'll go painted or clear with the body.

That is an excellent track! Having a half dozen cars racing around on it would be so much fun!

I wonder what they're thinking?

Are you going to be using a battery voltage alarm for the LiPo? The Super Rooster doesn't have any LiPo protection.

Wow, that's quite a fleet! But I don't see a JRX2 in there. That seems surprising.

I thought EasyOff oven cleaner and a scrub pad followed by a water rinse were the best way to remove anodization without damaging the surface finish.

Apparently this is what not to get:

There must be some cool Yokomo stuff available there.

The Frankentruck lost its body to one of the EGTs. But it got an upgrade. The replacement was from a shelfer GT, but didn't quite work with the T3 rear shock tower. After a little trimming and the addition of a pair of carbon fiber RC10B4 hub towers for the shock attachment points, the body now fits...

Very nice! This thread might be a good place for some additional Blackfoot inspiration:

My pair of NOS chassis arrived in an inside out TC7.2 box. The chassis flatness isn't perfect, but it's good enough and not shipping damage. The gold color is lighter than I expected.

Got a sweet batch of motors from a factory backed dirt oval racer! All the bagged motors were factory rebuilt in 1990, ready to race.

I picked up one as well and a separate receiver. The module has a TX crystal in it, covered be a square aluminum sticker. Mine has a Futaba type 72-7 crystal. I have a same frequency 72-2 RX crystal purchased but not in hand yet. . PXL_20230707_115138133.jpg . PXL_20230705_151341835.jpg . PXL_202307...
