I mean, yeah... But....

Why

The 67 vette I'm currently working on has a new composite rear leaf.

Here are some relatively rare Yokomo 870c white nylon suspension arms. I'm tempted to replace the black arms with these.
As close to Jesus' legendary cup as there is

I would love for this to catch on and become a new oval class. Not Traxxas, though. Tamiya would probably be best given their expertise with scale accuracy. Fun fact, Cecil Schumacher runs a vintage Talbot Lago grand prix car and he is also among the world's top mechanics specializing in pre-war ra...

All 80's Saturday night. I stand by my choice.

and... for those interested, a longer, more in-depth look at the car: _ptQ4rjQiDo The wheels were kinda cool... I expected them to be solid with a mesh cover but it turns out there's lacing in the perimeter of wheel center. I foresee someone gutting one of these to build a period hot rod. Actually, ...

Started the build of my rere Turbo Optima during summer of 2022. Got back at it last night. I was really impressed with my ability to find shock shaft e-clips in the carpet that had launched themselves around the room. I think it might be a runner next weekend... or in another 18 months :lol: . . 10...

Got in what I think is going to be the front axle of my '33 Ford. So, axles are determined I think. Waiting on actual final rear tires to come in later this week so I can finalize chassis width throughout, then get to cutting it.

Getting it out was pretty straight forward except the mufflers were in the way of removing the front spring eye bolts which was annoying. 20240123_203629.jpg The joys of rebu...

Nobody has yet mentioned how weird those look without a driver doll. Of all the car models that would seem to require one...it's THIS. :? I'm not sure what looks dumber actually driving around...a modern cab-forward body that looks nothing like a real car, or an open cockpit vintage car model sans d...

This always reminded me of the Schooner Tuna commercial in Mr. Mom...

Without a driver, maybe it would be an even earlier version of K.I.T.T. than K.A.R.R., with this being the Knight Industries One Thousand: K.I.O.T.

It's definitely a front wheel drive ORB FF210

I have always run o rings but in my high speed GT2 I installed springs to remove any slop in the bones back in 2017. CVD pins will not hold over 80mph even with super glue red loctite, and a heat shrink boot. The pins leave the bone and cut the rear arms off at the knuckles. So dog bones it’s been. ...
