RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

I am surprised to see "tires/wheels open" for all of the vintage classes. This track was "slicks only" every time I went. The lady in charge was not too happy when I asked either, as if I should have known even though it was my first time at any track in 30 years. A 5 minute har...

Make sure you set your car down with the knobbiest tires you have while asking said question to. And then we she finishes give her the 20 minute talk about how we used to run on "real" off-road dirt tracks.

ok, ok, hear me out....

That would be really fun for BOTM if we all did it

Staffed a little RC fun time 2 minutes a ticket grass oval "racing" booth for, well, 5 hours now. Still have 2-3 more hours left. Arrma Granites, Sentons, Vorteks, and some of their GROM scale stuff. All running on 50% of max.

Have a great weekend all.

The body is cut super close for a clean look on the shelf, back in the day they were cut out a lot more to clear the tires.

Sunset + lighthouse from our vacation home for the week. Still weirds me out that I can be on the east coast of the US, and get a sunset pic over the Atlantic Ocean.

Family fun day in Wonju. Couple of suspension bridges. Tons of stairs.

New Englanders are just flat crazy! Sunday morning, 0700, 39*F, and there is a line at the boat ramp! I don't take my boat out if it is below 70*F.

Miraculously, one 1 inch pin became two 7/16" pins on the first attempt.

I did some measuring today and put together a simple cheat sheet. This is just for v1 shocks, top or bottom load. the numbers are close, rounded, but close enough for ID.

But a Buggy conversion for mild offraod use may be interesting because it already comes with a Lipo compatible battery holder and I like the unique shape of the chassis plate and the look of these open bulkhead caps front and rear. I'm curious how good YR- and YZ-parts do fit together. After I check...
