A somewhat recent acquisition. A beautiful XX with some choice Trinity upgrades. I plan to make a few small changes and upgrades, and get it completed.

Nice looking paint job

I had already drilled the chassis for the standard steering servo mount location, so this building it as a standard gold pan seems right. Well, sort of standard.

Winner winner chicken dinner came in the post today.

Hello all, I'd like to share my build of a Super Sport '92 buggy. The Super Sport ended with the final '93 version and was replaced by the Athlete in 1994. It won the 1990 IFMAR Worlds in Thailand and was in fact leading the 1992 IFMAR A-mains in Germany before radio issues struck. I've always had a...

Next I sourced for more option parts. Mugen made a ventilated brake disc for the Super Sport: 20240520_202210.jpg It's a 3 piece affair that requires super-gluing. 20240520_202517.jpg I found also aluminium center diff support and rear brake support from Racing Jack. 20240521_201302.jpg The Racing J...

The buggy is more or less completed at this point. As I only have a pair of side guards, and the muffler side needs trimming, not knowing if I would eventually change back to the conventional muffler position, I decided simply not to install the side guards for now. The body has been sent off for pa...

Finished the front end (...finished?) with some Dubro 2-56 sized ball links that accept 4-40 thread turnbuckles and a pair of Yokomo 42mm steel turnbuckles. The front end is an improvement if you're used to a stock Hornet front end, and it is good enough for some bashing fun now. . 1000011737.jpg . ...

My printer is up and running again after replacing the nozzle heating element so it was time to take care of the battery. I plan to run Lipo but don't need a 5000mah pack. I think these little 2000mah packs have a satisfying amount of run time and they are so light. So I printed up an adapter to fit...

there's 2 types of people in the world, those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.

I recently picked up a T2 sport chassis from the ebay salvage yard with the intention of making a B1.5 woin buggy build. Its well used and scraped up but perfect for a runner. I cut it way down (1/2" at the lowest point), shortened the front of the chassis and trimmed a nose plate for now. Hone...

Watching the NHL game 7 with the Dom.

Doh! Good to know. Maybe I'll engrave your username into the back side of the parts for him

OK OK even I got caught up in the last MIP "announcement". Should have known. So, lets do it again. The Ten4 was good, but the parts are just all out of date. The B44 front axles especially. Materials have vastly improved. Ideas have improved. Announcing the Ten4.1 I started by completely ...

No, it is too far out to know but it should be less than it was 10 years ago. The same AE requirements will be there and the prices there might be quite a bit higher. Luckily we have FanRC. His diffs will be perfect and cost far less.
