Success! The adapters worked out pretty well. I do need to source properly sized rear springs though. The included "stiff" springs aren't enough to keep the back of the car level. I put some placeholders on the rear but the diameter is wrong. Definitely got rid of the pogostick effect. IMG...

Alright, the BOTM and BOTY award icons have been set up! They also display in your profile now as well.

If I missed any of your wins, let me know.

In the late 1970’s Electro Craft had an ESC that gained popularity at the NORCAL 1/12 electric racing series in the San Francisco Bay Area of California. I think Electro Craft was based nearby in San Jose. They had a fast sponsored driver named Steve Betts. As I recall they had some overheating and ...

Thank you all! I really appreciate the practical advice around infant fathering too...your stories and suggestions are so helpful! Lot of trial and error, dividing roles to make the process efficient. Taking a simple shower and eating a quiet meal suddenly became a small luxury haha. In Korea, the g...

I needed a tire truer for the 1/24, so I built one

Are they soft?

Saw this today and couldn't resist.

Just got home from the race weekend. More entries than last year which is always good to see. :) I ran 17.5 2wd and 17.5 stadium truck. Qualified 6th in the A in S.T with my T2m. The truck felt sluggish to me all weekend. Tried a different motor too, but it was about the same. Finished 5th... not ba...

Thanks to everyone that made it out! a little over 100 vintage entries, so roughly double what we had last year!

I actually took some photos this year: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjBaxC9

It always takes me a second to recall that MSC = mechanical speed controller. I am old and watch F1, so to me MSC is this guy:

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

Wow what a great build. Nothing too tight or too loose. Everything there, although at times I was thinking man an extra eclip or screw here and there wouldn't hurt haha. The spine is very weak, 1mm thick g10 and flexes like crazy. First thing on the drawing board will be an upper brace. They used yr...

Going to do it today. Getting things setup. Also gotta make sure I can do a live stream on the RC10Talk Youtube channel. Sometimes it likes to be a pain in the ass.

All the decals placed.
Still no esc or receiver but looking pretty good.
