Tough choice this time around....so many of you deserve special recognition for a job well done. I voted with my heart this time around, vs the rarity or technical sophistication of the entrants. Awesome Bill from Dawsonville's T-bird is right up there with Cobras, GT40s, and Glidden's Pinto on my a...

Bormac as in the guy the Top Cats? I was hoping he was still around

For future reference- Drilling a 5/8 inch hole through the center of the Cougar/Top Cat spur gear worked perfectly. It bolted directly onto the Bosscat slipper.

I don't know these cars well, so this may be a dumb question. Is that the AE stealth transmission? Or was the Traxxas that similar?

My first thought when I saw that was did Traxxas sue AE for pre-emptively copying their design

Very cool car and an amazing find!

I see "Henri Pescarolo" is your driver. FWIW, he is known for wearing green helmets.

DJerk I am the one who posted a pic of the C2 Team battery plate on the FB group, but that thread is locked to me now. I have no idea why, but it happens to random threads on that group. If you can send (email?) me a UPS label, I will send you the battery plate. I don't want any $$$ for it. If you h...

If you do Facebook, the RCKicks group has several folks posting about these cars. The RCKicks YouTube channel has done a few videos as well.

Whoa! That is a serious rubber band shooter! When I was a kid, we used our fingers. Actually hitting something was a special event to be celebrated.

Your boy will be picking off flies at 50 paces with that beauty.

I only know what I learned watching Steve Irwin's show, but it does seem that Australia has a disproportionate number of deadly creatures. He did a "world's deadliest snakes" show once and pretty much every snake on the list was native to Australia. :shock: Even so, it is still safer than,...

I soaked all my yellowed Pro-XRT white parts in 3% hydrogen peroxide under a UV light for two days, it did little to nothing. I then set them outside in direct sunlight for a whole day and that made a noticeable difference. I am not sure about RC car plastics, but for standard ABS plastics, immersi...

Coincidentally, Joksa just posted a photo that included this bit:

Had it made for a race we are putting on 20230114_114713.jpg Where can I learn about this race? 1000 laps of anything would be fun. :D The People's Republic of Illinois is not too far away.... will need to update my passport....turn in my self defense mechanisms....swear allegiance to Oprah....nah ...

Is the first version discontinued for good, or just sold out?? Can't believe how tower hobbies can't get any stock of kyosho?? I don't really know the answer, but it is often repeated on the RCKicks FB group that Kyosho has not officially cancelled any of the re-re kits. They just release a batch a...

1911 Colt, did you have an early Bolink Digger with a Jerobee chassis? This link shows a red VW Bug with a black Jerobee chassis, but they also came in grey. https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=36274 That might be it! :D I found a pic of a black one that looks a lot like mine in this thread: h...

Me too, preferably one that still has its inventory.

That on road track looks like a lot of fun.
