Something fun!

:lol: For a good second I thought you installed a screw and locknut through the battery holder for some reason. I stared at it for a lot more than a second. :lol: My initial thoughts: "I know most of these are shelfers, but I didn't think those guys actually bolted them to the shelf. Oh wait......

Where's Fred?

I assumed Masami's CAT would be the holiest of holies within Schumacher. On the contrary, the current crew seems to know very little about it. I guess that is racing: if it isn't winning races now, it is just an old car. The video is still good to watch, as it gives a closeup view of the actual cha...

It's exceedingly cool how their autopsy series examines the cars, and the car's they're examining. Could do without the green screen but, part of the gimmick. They've done four previous episodes and disassemble the cars in each one... Pilot - Michal Orlowski's Schumacher Buggies emLuoNh_Oco Episode ...

So Dan Rowland also did the resto on the masami xls for Schumacher, he was also the main push behind the xls rere.

Photobucket is holding my pics for ransom.

Borrowed this pic from GYRC page.

Group photo! Everyone say cheese! Hey new guy, get in the back row!

Apparently I like to use #8 decals... they probably hide paint blemishes really well.

Previous runs were short, promising but short... The first one was vey shorten by a loose pulley (the intenal one), the second by some escaping pivot balls... I solved the ones which were identified as difficult and was impatient to try the car again, as the short runs look promising... I ran it qui...

Made an effort to make one more run before the rain.
Didn´t make it...
The second the cars were put down on the track the rain started.
We run these cars a lot and they needed a good cleaning anyway.

Beside the Bearcat SS you can see the video in the ad'hoc thred, I ran as well the 44B Hilux with its printed parts, kyosho shocks and tires... And it is great on the track. Although short, which requires to pay a bit of attention when turning, it's great car and easy to handle. I was really surpris...

Here are some works from the last few days. The body went to the painter and I found new tires that will be "turned" on next days ;) https://media.joomeo.com/large/6669f3b19e242.jpg https://media.joomeo.com/large/6669f3d3519af.jpg https://media.joomeo.com/large/6669f3e049c4d.jpg https://me...
