Once the chassis, is in, we can play with then transmission... https://i.imgur.com/hNbcvkV.jpg I started to put the diffs in, then brought the transmission in the design, and noticed I need bearings... Thankfully, they are not much cost in CAD :-) https://i.imgur.com/IhjTWDT.jpg I added the bearings...

Today, tackled the bumper first... Not much complexity, as it derives from the front of the chassis for the profile and the position of the fixation points... https://i.imgur.com/jGQDBXn.jpg https://i.imgur.com/8Kk8gwg.jpg It was directly added in the overall chassis assembly... https://i.imgur.com/...

The car is completed..off to race and promote it Jan 4th thru 7th at the Hudy Indoor Champions where me and "The Diamond" One hope to dominate VTA and F1..testing it for the Guiness World Record will comense in the following weeks (New sponsor decals being made by MCI will be added later) ...

I have this kit under my desk for a while. I was my Xmas gift of 2021, and it is awaiting there I have the envy to build it. And it seem it was time. I have a bug envy to build a kit without thinking today... https://i.imgur.com/bUkIOMy.jpg I took a picture of the box layout before breaking the blis...

Lock-tite makes a formula for use with plastics. It is literally CA glue.

But yes, using the metal formula on plastics will damage them.

NIB Composite Craft Predator...and a nice lot of spare chassis/t-plate/crossbars + a Team Pit Stop independent camber kit....and another Revtech motor for the collection(18D).

This showed up Friday. RC10T with fluorescent yellow tub and nose plate, MIP steering, the original tub, box, instructions, and a bunch of extras.

Chassis buildup started pretty uneventfully. The clear parts don't inspire the same sense of strength that the OG nylon did, so I decided I'd tap that, and that, and that, etc during the build (actual tapping 🤣) to avoid overstressing parts. Probably mostly unnecessary, but it was interesting to be ...

Eventually I got to the gearbox. The RC10CC top shaft already had the gear on it and it wasn't clear if it was on a taper and could be separated, so I grabbed a vintage top shaft for the Thorp 48 pitch gearbox build. I also did the outdrive bearing mod because that just seems like how outdrives shou...

The shock builds and top plate installation went fine. I'm not great at bleeding shocks, but I make a great mess trying. For the battery cup, my green fiberglass strap ended up being a better fit with the top plate. . PXL_20240107_044916669.jpg . PXL_20240107_054229011~2.jpg . After that, it was tim...

This also seemed like the right place for a body I had a friend paint a couple of months ago. The colors weren't a good match with the intended buggy, but I think this is the right buggy. I also added a homemade wing because I like wings. . PXL_20240107_223856551.jpg . PXL_20240107_223122890.jpg . P...

these look kinda long to me

A Tech Racing Voggerd T10. Something I've wanted since I saw a review of it in RCCA in the 90s, just because it's so different to any touring car around at the time. I started searching for one when I started seriously collecting vintage cars and have never had any luck as they made it out of Japan ...

I still can't believe it.
