When the fastest Yokomo available in 1987 was the RPS Losi version from 1985, you can see why they looked at the Optima that had been winning everywhere at the time.

You have to gain their confidence by saying the secret pass phrase, which is "IdonotworkforTraxxasandIwillnotsueyou"

As of last year… “Yes,we do still have both the silver and yellow springs. The springs are $5 per pair (either color choice), plus $5 shipping for up to 10 pairs shipped anywhere in the USA.” “We are offering those motor plates for $10 each, plus $3 shipping for up to 6 motor guards shipped anywhere...

So, I knew the chassis plate had an engraving on the bottom of it when I bought it, and I had thoughts of what it might be, but then talked myself out of it. But really, if it isn't what I think it is, is it just an odd coincidence :?: The founder, and current president, of Moore's Ideal Products is...

Prototype set, before yellow was chosen. Can't be more than a few of these around

For over two decades 1655 E. Mission Boulevard in Pomona California was home to one of the most historic locations in R/C history. Throp Manufacturing, owned by John Thorp, who made everything from pinions and spurs all the way to complete vehicles opened Throp Raceway there in 1977 along with a sto...

Nearing a vintage race I've decided to dust off an old build of mine and let it stretch its legs. I've not posted this car before so even if it is an old and to this forum a fairly plain build, I throw it in here. At first I could not remember exactly when I built it, but opening the folder with the...

Here's a picture of the 2 kits. As mentioned already, the difference is the length of the arms. The second picture tries to show that difference as best as I could.

Sorry for those without Facebook access, but Eustace is making an exciting announcement tomorrow

After wanting one of these as a kid 30+ years ago after seeing the magazine ad, I was finally able to build an Ultra Molded buggy. Just added a few period mods but nothing too crazy. I was so tempted to add some stickers to this blank canvas, but it looks just too good to cover up. :lol: - MIP CVD's...

I think you should run the softest t-bar on the street that you can find as traction on the street is generally always lacking. If you start picking up the inside front wheel or have too much rear traction then start to look at going to a stiffer t-bar

I'd rather see a company change to fit the market, AE had the right idea selling to Thunder Tiger over letting HH buy them out. Looking back in the early to mid 2000s, I feel like there was more variety before a number of the smaller companies were scooped up and gutted out, or lawsuited out of exis...
