Over the last few months I have slowly rebuilt a Wild Willy. I picked it up cheap and found a few broken parts, modeled them and printed replacements including having a stainless steel 3d printed axle tube made. Soaked the body in LA's Awesome for a couple days to get the three layers of paint off. ...

After reading your previous post, I went back and had a closer look. My truck has two left arms. :( I could try to find a right arm but I can't be bothered. I'll just make a shallow notch so both sides have the same droop. I probably have an extra right arm, if that's the same as the GT or the T2. ...

I've had a few people ask me what electronics I run so here's the list: -Hobbywing EZRUN Mini 28 ESC & 1626 SD 6500kv Motor Combo (part# 38020368) -AGFRC A06CLS V2 Servo 20T with aluminum servo horn -Fantom MVS 2.0 400mah 7.6v LiHV (part# FAN2629) -Mini RC Planet Spektrum DSM/DSM2 Micro 4CH Rece...

While I was waiting for the TBG TQ10 body to make its way through the USPS black hole, I decided to slap together a Graphite basket case that has been warming the shelf for a number of years. I decided to be a little less strict on my OEM only rule, so there will be a few parts substitutions along t...

It isn't RC, but it will make RC.

But first challenge is to make little boats..................

Well after rattling around a bunch of different paint ideas, and looking at Vintage Funco race buggies I decided on a simple paint scheme for my RC10. Didn't feel like dealing with liquid mask this time around so decided to do things like I would have done way back when, using masking tap and spray ...

This is the Guinness World Record for largest waffle, and I am even more disappointed in humanity than I was. I mean, 8' ??? :( Two people are moving this thing around with a cardboard roll! waffle record 1.jpg To compare, the world's largest pancake is 49' !!! :shock: This thing required cranes!!! ...

So that Futaba ESC that went up in smoke was 100% my fault. Reverse polarity is a bad thing. Oops. That's ok though, I really don't like the single speed reverse and wanted Lipo protection. The DS chassis setup is working pretty well... . 1000011036.jpg . ... until I see that it gives me too long o...

Supposedly a new never used Futaba T2PL (has no signs of any wear whatsoever, so I believe it), 16x2 4WD Off-road Mega motor, and Speedworks Blueprint Series 25x1 "Dirt oval stock" red label.

An Invader Oval Racer rear pod, a Twisters motor, and three MSCs from one FBMP deal. Hot Trick towers and battery straps from Factory Works (chassis for color reference, and the match is fantastic!), and a plethora of B&R motors from Frankentruck.

A nice little 10T care package from Factory Works.
Thanks Jeff.

Got me a Tekin dyno, so that my Bud's dyno will have some company on the shelf.



I realize that I have a oversized mailbox but this is ridiculous.

How do you suppose to open the box?

MIP will never do it

But....

Behold.... and now the Blue Eagle LS-II. Already having a Blue Eagle LS and SRT, I was done with a Traxxas collection, but this was just far too good of a deal to pass up. It's simply fantastic, and at a price just over what heaping piles go for, which makes me like even more. Resized_20240521_15204...
