Hello all! After being out of the hobby since the early 90’s I just recently got back in…got tired of paying $50-75 for the junk cars at Walmart and my boys destroying them in a couple of weeks so I bit the bullet…all 5 of my boys got 1/10 hobby cars for Christmas…and after catching some flak from t...

It wasn’t cheap but I wouldn’t consider it terribly expensive either…I got them rtr cars at about $200 a piece…of course then I had to buy fast chargers and extra batteries on top of that but cars ain’t fun if you have to charge them for 8 hours to run 15-20 minutes either…granted I gave a bit more ...

Yea I realize the clod ain’t got a snowballs chance…but if I can get a little more out of it maybe I can prevent it from becoming the victim of a demo derby when my boys decide to gang up on ol dad…

I’m not a football fan or sports as a whole for that matter. It has to have tits or drink gasoline to get my attention. That being said I’ve always rooted for the Bengals since I was a kid but they were always the worst team.

Yeah I know, 2014, old thread, yadda yadda.. :lol: ..but I’m glad I landed on this it’s really helped me out, awesome, always something to learn on here, loving it. To follow along, basically apply a thin layer of clear paint, then paint over that? The clear is to lock in the edge…personally I pref...

Was the javelin for me…

Nice write up!!! Been a while since I had a Blackfoot but it’s a fun little truck…if you drop the size of your pinion it’ll wheelie quite easily as well but don’t do a lot for speed however it’s a ball to play with…

[/quote] I'm trying to learn a new skill and see how I do just for the fun of it . I don't know if I will make anything that would be strong enough to drive, or good looking enough to put on a shelf. I've already learned a bit and very much appreciate professionally made carbon fiber pieces. Fiber r...

Eventually I too would like to display my motors, I’ve always wondered if a Hot Wheels/ Matchbox wall display case would work out nicely. I do plan on finding out. Figured maybe use clear cabinet door bump stops to keep them from rolling out when the case is opened. 4E617FD8-3833-4E4B-A13F-A34954A8...

I took my time with the tape making sure it laid down flat, and that each layer overlapped the last but the inside wasn’t bad at all. You’ll get a little transfer on your edges but nothing bad as long as you get the tape to lay flat. I’m told aluminum foil will work also but I wasn’t brave enough to...

I have a few questions…first is what’s the cage made of? Looks to be either 1/16” or 1/8” round bar…secondly are you brazing it? I originally thought tig but the color has me thinking braze…lastly would you be interested in doing another one of those motors?

I’ll give it a go…don’t believe I’ve seen a truck this year so here’s my clod…

My bad…me and technology don’t seem to get along…

Dadio, I’m into what is now vintage super bikes…the Suzuki TL1000 specifically…and I’m one of three guys in the world that welds the clutch centers in these bikes…there’s a fella in the uk, one in oz and myself in the states…my current price is $55 to weld one and I include the return shipping in th...

Seller of the chain sprockets has taken down the auction , makes me wonder if he is a member here and saw he's selling the wrong part , don't like thinking one of our members is such a to$$er :!: If that’s the case and we find out who…is a flogging in order or a straight out lynching? I would certa...
