I was planning on doing a Stealth gearbox, but I'm low on those and strangely enough have a couple of Thorp 48p setups sitting around. So a Thorp 6 gear it is. . PXL_20230908_174926961~2.jpg . This gearbox also had a used set of titanium nitride coated diff rings. The diff seems pretty smooth after ...

It looks like I'll need a gearbox and motor plate, a front battery cup, and a body. Maybe some matching rims too. Other that that, its a nice little buggy.
.

I think this one is done (maybe ). Finished it off with some minimal bodywork, Novak Cyclone ESC and XXTRA receiver.
. . . .

This one didn't have an outhouse at the end.

I need to get some slightly longer turnbuckles for the front for more thread length into the ball cups, but for now it's good enough to go forward. Rear CVDs built and installed. .

4wd racer would be next level!

I plan to put a nice shell on it, but it needs something wheelie-rific too. I have just the beater for that...

Doing the 3 shock pseudo action shot with sticker job and a wing added. Maybe this needs a Comical Grasshopper or Hornet body to blend in with the others a little.... . PXL_20230914_013617248.jpg . I have plans to do one more and I have a pan shaped chassis. Original thought was a buggy but then con...

Shock rebuilt and electronics installed. I went with a modern ESC with LiPo cutoff and a 2.4ghz radio. . PXL_20230914_122950197~3.jpg . PXL_20230914_144503392.jpg . PXL_20230914_144234860.jpg .

This started as a project for a friend, but in the process of drawing it up and getting parts together I decided that I needed one too. The suspension arms, bellcranks, shock towers, battery cups, chassis, top plate, etc. were all designed by studying photos of the original 1991 buggies, RC10, and R...

If there's something wrong with the white/signal wire, like at the receiver end, the ESC won't be available to run the motor. I had an ESC that was similar and was fixed by replacing and re-terminating the red/white/black connector plug.

My donor car arrived. It has some unique features.
. . .
After casting off some crap, it's almost a respectable pile of junk.

Probably on it's way to a McDonald's drive thru window. Those Egg McMuffins are tasty.

The RC10 has such a wide nose plate, it's just like it's made to be tinkered with. So why not do a lay down front suspension? . PXL_20230919_172801854~2.jpg . PXL_20230919_175111687.jpg . It bolts up nicely in place and works smoothly. The little front shocks seem to be the right stroke length. Not ...

If I used a graphite chassis with no side walls (or my B1.5 BFG 5LTi buggy 😁) this would be relatively simple. Just hanging an arm off to the side of a crank and presto! . PXL_20230919_222646594~2.jpg . But I would like to make this a drop-in front end for an A stamp chassis. That will take a 3rd cr...

If I can't see it, is it really there? That is an excellent Cat!
