I changed the setup and made another run on the dirt oval track with my KF2. It went much better, but grip was still comically low. I think the car is now as good as it going to get until I take a leaf blower and a hose to prep the surface. But...the really fun thing...is that I also took my re-re X...

my Tenth Tech Streetwise Just arrived today. Always wanted a Predator but after years of looking they are just not in my price range. So an economy version it is!

I'm jealous of you guys with tracks.....

My "future" track when I eventually buy all the pvc or lumber, plow discs and related accessories..

3D printed part worked perfectly https://i.imgur.com/lUZkIml.jpeg And it is even similar to the OEM mounts for the ultra sonic sensor on the side of the same bumper, which is even better... I don't mind buying tools when I have the use for them... The thing is here, it would have taken 4-20 days dep...

Small parts lot. A few gems. Mostly just some low-grade hoarding..

One thing I've been wanting to do since I bought the K24 was to make scaled down Turbo Scorpion wheels for it to match it's big bro. So that's what I did yesterday. Measured and scaled down the wheels and printed them in some Sirayatech Blu Nylon resin. Screenshot 2024-08-26 211035.jpg IMG_20240827_...

Not all today, but been slowly chipping away at what will be a Brat/Mud Blaster mashup. It was built from parts like I wanted, not a modified kit.

This sucks for the people who pawn off Custom Works cvds as vintage MIP units.

Zap each individual cell but be careful, just quick touches are all you need. Worked perfectly! My original Top Cat thanks you. :D More correctly, the 12x2 brushed motor thanks you. Now it won't get cooked by a LiPo when I get carried away and run it for half hour straight. :lol: The process also r...

Finally turned up

I have to get off nightshifts, those japanese auction sites are too tempting, and they seem to finish at 3am.
Couldnt resist another Futaba 3PD PCM 1024 set, this one still with box and instructions, the NIcd etc is well past its best, but barely a scratch on it.

Electronics is installed on a specific plate set on the floor of the bathtub... All nuts are placed within the plate for the case I have to change something on the setup on the field, and this will avoid to fight with nuts moving out of the tub... https://i.imgur.com/1ZOuXvm.jpeg I put the pilote in...

The first batch of DS parts arrived today. Ordered on Monday, delivered on Thursday. Not too shabby. :D Anyway, AE didn't yet have the DS steering bellcrank set available for purchase so I'm going old school with my build. Those are genuine AE Stealth outdrives - never thought I'd seem them again. I...

Yes, we ran these tires on a very loamy track in 88'

just a heads up, i have literally thousands of those 8-32 posts and nuts in the old school fluorescent yellow- if anyone is making a purchase on the website just leave a note for how many you need and ill add them to the order for free- so long as its a realistic quantity lol. I have plenty of 4-40 ...
