A well deserved win!

Congrats!!!

At the IconicRC Revival weekend I got to hold Craigs Detroit 91 Stealth car that he still has, he is looking on restoring it. While I had it I took some photos of it that you might enjoy. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AL9nZEVnfLMZk5zD6aK3Tf5KoDJiKTRih2gqywi30gai0nk7rXWOdUBzvdXmMvJOuPdmxQUWqfK...

I've tried numerous "O" rings when rebuilding my original gold shocks; Traxxas, Yokomo and some other brands which I've forgotten. All I get is stiction. Do the 5407 "O" rings work with the original shocks? 20220917_151703.jpgasc5407_1.jpg All of those o-rings should work. Do th...

Common 006 silicone o rings fit fine, same as nearly everyone uses. The problem with bottom load shocks is keeping everything aligned. They take some fiddling around to get smooth operation. I ream and deburr all the plastic pieces. Loosely assemble everything with o ring grease. Then I grease and i...

I was snooping around looking for pics and more info on the 1992 Reedy Race, specifically Rick Vehlow's Traxxas "TRX-1". Every once in awhile someone will ask about the TRX-2. There never was a TRX-2. But after coming across this photo contained in a scanned article on the Reedy Race site ...

I thought about entering it as a joke, because it’s not something I built. But I don’t have any intention of entering it in the BOTM contest. And not counting the extra layer of dust it has now it’s exactly as it arrived. I don’t have any plans to run any RC cars anytime soon.

I guess I'll close the book on this one. 20220923_144423.jpg So, the car ran pretty decent at the Vonats. I was a little worried about it durability. Had a little issue in practice. 20220923_170557.jpg The car won Best Paint in the concourse, so that was cool. 20221003_212802.jpg Qualified 4th in th...

love it. Screams 80s RetroWave

Killer paint job !!

So, bad news on the rerere 6565, AE decided to narrow up the trans just a few thou, just enough to where a vintage diff (or the FanRC) won't fit. To use the rerere 6565 you also need the AE outdrives. It sucks for sure but they are nice and smooth. I fought the fan diff in my kit as well, notchy and...

Cool idea of integrating the Stealth. That should make this car a real weapon on the track. Great build.

Looks like it's pretty much confirmed........

Soo, after researching the best I could with pics concerning the IFMAR Worlds 91 Works 91 cars, I've come to some conclusions. I thought it odd that Masami wouldn't have the same chassis setup as Cliff Lett's 3 view pic that's easily obtained during a search. Well, from close up in these pics, he di...
