This is a replica I am doing using all vintage parts....it's replicating an Ultima the Diamond One raced in the 80's....the chassis was a beat up pile I restored, along with the TrackMaster tranny...it will be a slow process, but here's the start

Big thanks to @Bormac for the delivery services, cleaning, sorting, bagging, rebuilding, and for being just a good bloke... and to Richard for the Tamiya stuff and some electricals. Now to get started on race-readying..... only 6 months to go to Vintage Bash 3.0! I suspected you were the "Alex...

These are rare Tyco/Taiyo 4wd racing nissan trucks that came out before the Tyco Bandit. It was released in 1988 and discontinued that same year. The Taiyo version is even rarer than the Tyco version. Both have the duel motor, which provided the 4wd action, and the only notable difference is one spo...

I finally set some time aside to do some more work on this build. I passed on the B2 style turnbuckles and stuck with the same style used for the earlier Team/Worlds. AE Ball studs are all the later stainless variant. I wanted to keep my Worlds shock kit intact for another project, so I sourced colo...

Turns out there was a missing e-clip. I was able to snag one from the handle. I don’t have the pulley yet so I took a dead motor from my pile and made it a sacrifice. Since it didn’t run at all before not much is lost IMG_4287.jpeg Obviously not awesome, but if it runs at all that would be great. I ...

Over the last few months I have slowly rebuilt a Wild Willy. I picked it up cheap and found a few broken parts, modeled them and printed replacements including having a stainless steel 3d printed axle tube made. Soaked the body in LA's Awesome for a couple days to get the three layers of paint off. ...
