Picked up the kit on Thursday and built it up yesterday night and today. For the most part the kit went together well albeit the manual was not quite right. So as I was building from both the old and new manual I started to make notes and suggestions on the new manual which I have here: https://driv...

Got the LED controller today. X4920DVor2k Hot glue to set the LED's in the buckets. https://i.imgur.com/U1IWH7V.jpg https://i.imgur.com/LFxCGco.jpg https://i.imgur.com/50ffNkG.jpg https://i.imgur.com/xtTVJW1.jpg Will get the wires routed and tacked down, and then see about fitting this body on the DS.

Overall the build was fun. The instructions might not be 100% and the original instructions were far more detailed. Regardless most of the car went together fine. As I stated above my starting setup is hybrid between the old and new kit, the main difference between the setup I started with and what ...

3racing Mini MG Evo. Mini 1/10 scale FWD car. Wow, that is a huge steering linkage! The steering servo that far back is really wild. I guess that's where there's room and then weight balancing, etc. Ya. The worst is that is actually the third body i bought for the car as the others were just too lo...

It's an interesting design. I think I may take a break from sending my money to Associated to send some over the Tamiya way.

Found the front shock tower had a slight tweak in it, so I picked up some beautiful Yeah Racing carbon fiber pieces. I love the chrome thread woven into the carbon. It matches all the polished aluminum well. I'll straighten and polish the stock shock tower eventually. Also found that if you flip the...

Had to strip the car down, refinish chassis(wrong color) and relocate bellcranks...got battery mounts done too....processing nicely....batteries (Sanyo)/Novak esc, Tekin receiver up next

Out of all the sh*t they crammed in that TCP box....

Nope, nope, can't do it, the bearings for the steering puts it over budget.

Zap each individual cell but be careful, just quick touches are all you need. I've never had a cell explode personally but beware that they can, I think an old weak cell would take a lot of abuse.

Your battery pack is only as good as your weakest cell.

So after 2 years these finally arrived. At least I don’t have to worry about breaking originals now.
And this xxt in pretty clean condition sourced locally for a change

So, I got a little something something coming in for my FR01 based car, and the question of chassis flex came up. The ol' question of whether graphite chassis flex much more than aluminum tub chassis. I got to researching a bit, and it just became too bogged down, and too much opinion without facts,...

This nice little Gem came in the mail today. Thanks Jeff
