The best way to answer that is to just say, it’s best to never meet your heroes.

Finally got the motor mount made. I still have to do a bit more machining to lighten it. I'm really happy with it. Fitted. Fits and functions perfectly.

I like the gearbox extension mounts. Might have to steal that idea for my modified frog! Awesome! Let me know how it goes. 8) Will do. Finished my modified grasshopper so time to revisit the frog. I modified the rear end to put the rear arms on bearings, and the diff has the screw mod. Main weak ar...

First track (and club) for me would have been Lemont Dirtburners in Lemont, IL. Raced there every weekend I could convince my parents to take me, starting in Spring '87. Occasionally made it to JOROCC and The Thunderdome in Joliet, IL. Remotely Daytonas in Alsip, IL. and Orland Hobbies Raceway in I ...

Finally got this car completely done...the 💎 One outlined the windows....I got a working scr pack put in from Thumbs!... a proper machined slipper eliminator recommended by scr8p (nice piece) and a almost new Quaterflash stock motor to represent Thumbs glory days of rc 20230429_150815.jpg 20230429_1...

I got a bunch of driveshaft stuff in the mail. Xtraspeed makes Scorpion universals, among other stuff, so I'm going to start seeing what I can do with the parts. I think the rear shocks need about 4-5mm in limiters to keep the bones from flying out. If I can get it together, I might be able to make...

Did a little work on this one. Swapped the Novak receiver for a Tekin, to match the esc. Slightly modified an RJ Speed front bumper, and trimmed the body.

It's a scratch built car based on plans, and bodies sold by Roy Moody. They used rear pods from Leisure 1/12 pan cars.

Looks excellent!

MIP B100 ball diff for Tamiya SRBs. I've only ever seen one other.
