I did try not to be too Dazzling......

Built the transmission for an upcoming Traxxas based project. Hot Racing case with a rebuilt diff, Drag Race Concepts aluminum drive gear, and Hot Racing aluminum idle gear. All shimmed to reduce endplay. 20250407_185546.jpg I used an old style hex input shaft so that the old style slipper could be ...

Joining the bandwagon.

Just a little update on this build after the first real run. Had hardly shared any run time with this CAT before a vintage meet at the end of March. Put on a set of fresh tyres (Schumacher Cactus at the rear end, and Fusion slim up front). Car was like glued to the carpet with heavy roll and very tw...

Shakespeare wrote shorter soliloquies....

"soliloquies" is longer than what I wrote....

My Hot Trick Hot Shot finally got to stretch it's legs at a vintage meet after a couple of dormant years in a box.

Two happy days in day light at a brisk pace

Over the last few days I've been resurrecting a few old and worn parts. Filing, sanding and polishing, polishing, polishing... More hours than I care to admit. My Litesink is the same one I used when I raced my Houge RC10 in the 80's-90's. Never really been happy with the way the Litesink turned out...

It's like elimination racing! There was a buggy that flipped over and got left that way as an obstacle! :lol: I also saw reverse get used. Very excellent track and participants. I did understand a little bit of what they said. My language skills must be better than I thought. I clearly heard "...

I started a remodel on my Granddaughter's RC track. I picked up some scrap plastic gasline to replace the steel posts. They will be over soon to grab shovel's and start building jumps. I'm doing my part to inspire the next generation of RC enthusiasts

Did some anodizing... Turned out pretty nice. The rounded part on the top of the "radiator" of the Litesink was to clear a body I once had on the car. Polished rc10 parts.3.JPG Polished rc10 parts.6.JPG Old motor mount - new ( refurbed Litesink) motor mount Polished rc10 parts.5 (2).JPG Po...

I pre-ordered mine, but only recently got around to building it. I have the CC and 40th as well, but I assume no one wants to see pictures of box-art RC10s. Anyway, I went with a relatively mild brushless setup (10BL60 + 3650). team-associated-rc10t-chassis.jpg In fact, the ESC wiring sort-of inspir...

Finally got some video a couple of weeks ago. First run didn't go so well...


Second went much better.
