CA/Super glue is what I use to repair edges and chips. I just repaired the tail on this JRX2 chassis. I went over the area with a black Sharpie, built up a few layers of glue then just lightly sanded to smooth and knock the shine off of the glue. I didn’t go too crazy making it perfect because I pla...

I traveled to Del Mar in July of 1985 to attend the first 1/10 scale off road championships. I had a 35mm SLR camera and took 50+ pictures. Some good, some not so good. The pictures were on display in my hobby shop until I closed it in the early 90's. If you want to take a look I have them in an alb...

My third Losi motor which is 3 more than I ever expected to own. No model letter on the face of the can on this one. I liked that on the other 2 motors.

eBay seller had a five item "service parts" lot for Traxxas Fiero up for sale, and I offered him too little with "Make an Offer." Not only did he accept the offer, he sent extra parts! :shock: I literally have a dollar a bag in on this deal. Good to know there are still good folk...

Amazing! Thanks for the info.

I've been working on a podcast series for a while now - the early episodes picked up a lot of Australian R/C history, but now moving further afield. Recent episode featured Robin Schumacher and upcoming eps over next few weeks have some more international flavour. It's been great fun doing the resea...

MTM motor installed with a new RPM #7308 gear cover.

The last byggy I raced was a XX CR back in -97. I still have it, but I can´t get myself to drive it. So when a XX showed up on a local auction site I waited patiently until the last 15 seonds and placed my bid. Won it at $90! The Tekin charger was from the same seller and I got it for $10. :D 202305...

That is how a proper racer should look!

Ok been a long time, I’m on the FB some but figured I’d post a build thread here as I’ll have questions. I didn’t get into Losi until the XX car. Backstory: At the races and I pit next to my buddy that also owns a LHS. One of his regulars, an older gentleman brought some stuff and I hear Jesse say “...

It ran really good! I went hard for like 5 min straight on a baseball field before it started to get hot. It went 33 mph on pavement which was quicker than I expected too. It handled great.

Best I remember, the RC Screwz kit for the RC10 doesn't fit correctly either.

I buy a lot of my stuff from Team KnK.
