I have a 1 lb spool of Kester solder that I bought when I was 12 yrs old that I just finished up. This new 1 lb spool has the potential to last me.... forever?

In 1982 Tamiya embarked on a comical new venture in the 1/10 2wd electric vehicle scene with the Wild Willy. Intentionally disproportional the Willy wasn’t about scale accuracy or speed, this Jeep was designed as a stunt-mobile capable of puling wheelies at will. Constructed entirely of plastic the ...

Track day report- Buggy wasn't bad, had some issues with the 25* castor blocks making the car tight in the center of the corners and slow to release the rear end so I could square up for the 3 sets of doubles. I would normally increase the rear tie rod length to get more rotation, but I'm limited by...

Got into the decals. Pretty much a Greenwood Corvettes tribute theme. Actual colors came out a little more "Hot Wheels" than I think I like, but overall good with it. Still need to correct some paint issues, and get into the bumper, and should wrap it up.

Whether mud season or Christmas Season Tamiya was excited to display their ever-growing lineup of off-road vehicles in these advertisements from 1982: Rough Rider: Tamiya's original 1/10 2wd electric off-road racing buggy released in 1979. A scale version of Funco's Single Seat Baja racing buggy. Sp...

Just about complete on another long-running project, my mk1 Ford Escort body - now on a TT01 chassis. Recent jobs: - Clearancing the wheel arches (not a fun job!) - Selecting wheels and tyres to suit - Fitting body to chassis - Creation of front grille area from scratch - A few small extra decals I'...

You don't see many Track Master oval builds, so I figured that I'd venture down that path. Bob was kind enough to send the graphite chassis kit several months ago, and I just sourced the elusive rear oval tower. The cf weave is different (small pattern) on the rear tower. I have the rest of the part...

Aïzia, young Australian Sheperd just joined the family on Tuesday... Adaptation with Nooshka goes well, as well with the 2 cats of the house...

The Montluçonnaise is taking place in one week from now. It's time for the last bit of preparation. The event is on 4 days, and on the road track, there is light in the evening which allows for night running time... Which means that to have it realistic, we need lights on the car... That was the pla...

It’s always the things I give up looking for I randomly stumble upon.

Painted a wing and trimmed the body from yesterday. Definitely looking like the 90s.

Finally got into the office after eye surgery, and picked up my box-o-motors..... 15 Flying Point bagged black silver can motors, all new and all very basic. Not even "Mabuchi" marked.... I was hoping these might be unbranded back-door Chinese Sport Tuned motors, but can't really tell anyt...

I just resurrected my Team Associated RC-10 2T Championship buggy from a long slumber and found this forum. Purchased new in 1991 and using an MSC and Futaba controller and electronics. Old NiCD battery holds a charge for about 3 or 4 minutes. So off to get a 3800Mah NiHM Tenergy and charger from Am...
