Diamond One wins at Hudy! with a chain drive car designed by Dadio

Me being more fiscally responsible in 2025. Not responsible enough to not purchase it without properly setting the funds aside, but responsible enough to not touch it until the funds come in.

I hate it!!!

For those wanting to see the chain drive, here it is fresh off the track from the race..hasn't been touched

Oh look, uncle Joe is here and look he came at the end of our work day and has the area grid locked not moved for 25 minutes now, and I know he has probably not stumbled off the damn plane yet

And cool build guys! Love the chain set up! Any videos of it in action? With sound!?

Line-up of the Tamiya tourers I've been working on the past couple of weeks: 20250107_100709.jpg From left to right: 1. Tamiya TB-02 chassis, lots of upgrades, with new Frewer Nissan Skyline R34 body (painted and decal'd by me) 2. Tamiya / 3Racing TT01 carbon fibre chassis, with Tamiya (I think) Sub...

You'll have to clarify, did you purchase it on credit and pay for it when the money came in, or did you not assemble it until the money came in? :wink: :mrgreen: Straight up paid for it, but refused to open it until I had brought in enough to cover the cost (or close to :D ). Good news is that toda...

Took the opportunity to paint up a body while I had the workshop heated. Went for the Joel Johnson pattern but using my current colors. 20250106_152325.jpg 20250106_152438.jpg I put Trinity stickers on. But then realized I don't have a period correct Trinity to use. :oops: Might go for a slightly ne...

My body soaked up so much trichloroethane from motor cleaner, solvent and gas from the auto shop, and breathed in enough dust from the cutting of carbon and g10 over the years that I don't think it will be the little bit of slipper dust from Traxxas that's gonna get me :mrgreen: This exactly. While...

Sure, about 8 months to take it from mostly done to mostly'r done! Sounds about right! :D Finally got it worked out that I have a roll cage, so got that on, and got it painted up ............... although it is purple, but my phone is making it blue for some reason. Weird is that it is picking up the...

I'm sure some of the newer vintage enthusiasts have NO idea what we used to find, and how we used to get it. Might make a cool thread now that I think about it. when i lived in chicago i didnt have interet or even a computer at home for years. sometime around 2003/4 i would guess, (pre auction snip...

Waiting to see if the cops show up is the funnest part.
