I put this up on rctech also but I wanted to see what you guys thought. Not an original idea just something I thought would be fun to mess with. img_20221215_225951_00fe48d05ce88d8641d6763678ca6c0d23bc527b.jpg 540 motor plate on amazon img_20221215_225945_530c3cf680234f0fcae264ec1a4c5868a4db91bf.jpg...

Didn't see a thread started on this yet. Thanks to Andrew Cooke of Grand Prix 3D for making this dream build possible.

Pic borrowed from his Facebook page.

I won't be using this as my personal build thread but will hopefully post a pic of my finished car once I source all the parts and its completed.

Got 2 of his first batch of kits.

So a few days ago I found out about a car I had never heard of before, an RC10B3x. FB_IMG_1671071977619.jpg The car was run at the at the postponed 2001 Ifmar Worlds in 2002, and seems to have been raced at other tracks in 2002. Here is what Kurt Wenger mentioned on FB about it's specs: It was a new...

Schumacher Cougar LD2, so I can use my modern hex AE offset front wheels. I'll most likely use my JC Racing wheels for the other, want to keep that one mostly stock.

What hub and knuckles are up front on the JR2 chassis?

I had to drill out the Schumacher caster blocks to 1/8 in order for the hinge pins to fit but that's it.

The plan here was to build a kit form RB10. I am just not a RTR fan in general. I don't know the quality of the AE RTR electronics, but I tend to not trust RTR electronics usually. I like to be the one that torques things, adds the loc-tite and grease, and sands off the little nubs that are hitting ...

I got the itch to start from scratch on a conversion case. The last version I gave up on- the motor plate had to be rotated slightly and the holes couldn’t be very deep without hitting gears. Additionally I was able to really drop the diff and slide it forward with this new design. It bolts up to st...

Very happy to find another black can modified B&R. I had to trade my other one a few years ago, and have been searching for a replacement ever since. This one is even nicer!

Had these waiting for me after a few days away

Whoa! That is a serious rubber band shooter! :shock: When I was a kid, we used our fingers. Actually hitting something was a special event to be celebrated. :lol: Your boy will be picking off flies at 50 paces with that beauty. LOL, that is the low cost one, the alloy ones are marvellous and beauti...

My daughter gave me these laser cut wood kit rubber band guns for my birthday , both 6 shooters , beautifully designed and fun to build .

Not sure why it posted the picture inverted..

Do you use an Australian VPN ?

Seeing as this car was a Christmas gift to myself, it seemed fitting it finished up on Christmas Eve. :) One of the main goals in this build was to make a RB10 that didn't look like a RB10. In that regard, I think I was successful. I have a couple of loose ends to finish up, but it is 95% at this po...

The wife got me a Blackfoot.
She was going to get me a new charger as well but I was busy and never told her which one. That's okay, I'll buy it myself and get the points and discounts at Amain.
