I have a decent Bosscat shelf-queen done in box art. The alloy bits are red, not purple, so I think it is a lesser spec: "Competition" versus "Works" perhaps. I had every intention of running it, but the body appears to have been professionally done (or at least by someone with 1...

With the direction they have taken since, it is easy to forget that Traxxas had a few legitimate competition cars and trucks back in the day. There were a couple of sponsored Traxxas guys at the local track. They were never going to beat Dunbar and his Losi XX/XXT :lol: , but they were competitive w...

I am surprised this thread didn't take off. Seems like a good topic. I have RC cars of course ( 4 buggies and 1 rock crawler), RC planes, an RC sailboat, a 63 Comet, a Miata, a drag race Pinto, a GSXR, a bunch of things that go BANG!, a road bike, and some hiking boots. As soon as I click "subm...

'Wow, of course people were free to do what ever they wanted to... Also to cheapen it regular electrolytic caps have been used rather than tantalum.'

I guess he can see some differences in the components used compared to his.

a bit of fun to drive maybe and just beautiful models to see in action . I think this is it exactly, but then I remember the Falcon :lol: There is a Tamiya documentary out there somewhere. It focuses entirely on scale models, not RC. Tamiya blew everyone away with the scale stuff right from the beg...

I am really looking forward to seeing this one. I had a Bullet, but I am not that familiar with the Traxxas racers. A couple of guys I used to race with (aka lose to...) BITD were sent free Traxxas kits. They would run them for a bit and do well, but always switched back to Losi or Associated soon a...

Perfect timing for Vonats! Long drive/swim from UK though...

I just noticed you are in Royal Oak Michigan. 2 quick unrelated points:

It is great to see that the 2nd Amendment is still intact up there. Gov. Whitmer is not a fan of it.

I am a Ford man myself, but Royal Oaks Super Duty Catalinas are about as cool as it gets!

I got another load of spare parts for the Schumacher Cougar re-re I still don't have. :lol: Apart from the front end I could build one from the mountain of Top Cat/Cougar spares I have stockpiled. I don't see Schumacher going the Tamiya route and re-releasing their stuff over and over again. I am ho...

It's a bit like "Toy Grade Vs Hobby Grade" they are all TOYS! :lol: Good point! I confess to using those terms because most people understand them, and also because "toy grade" makes a good thinly veiled insult :lol: But yes, we are all just playing with toys. An adult playing w...

I got a bunch more Top Cat / Cougar parts. Still no Cougar, though.

The Porsche wheels take that kit up a notch! Very well chosen.

The dog doesn't seem to rate your painting skills too highly. He has a worried look when he sees you with the clear body in hand.

Also just noticed "Location Ill Noise"
