I have been thinking about building an RC10 buggy bodied drag car for a couple of weeks now, and Gemini did a fantastic job right off the bat. :) It appears to be 4wd though, without steering links, or steering links are coming from a differential looking apparatus. The north-south motor and blower ...

I can finally start my 6 gear build.

I'm not interested in most of the Fantom motors, but the older ones are pretty cool. I found a cool seller that worked with me and even included an interesting mystery motor. Also picked up an older AYK motor.

This might be a frankenmotor, but it has some interesting features. I haven't opened it up yet because I don't want to damage the endbell cover. I haven't seen an endbell cover like this before. It has grommets around the wires and had a tape wrap to the can. The endbell is a Kyosho style Trinity en...

Oddly enough we just had a bogus sign-up that used 'Tamiya Grasshopper.' I caught it due to the username being a female name. Whenever I have a doubt if a new member is legitimate or not, I check the IP address geolocation and Google the email address to see if it shows up on any spammer list which ...

Wait... Mix tapes? Emotions?? Women are ethereal?? Did you meet someone new?!?! Is she cute? Does she have a younger sister?!? :mrgreen: :P :P :P Nope, same ol' gal, Palmela.

TFTR for the win!

This is my rc10cc built on a vintage graphite chassis. I used the original brass bushings and white idler gears finish out the build.

Not as POS-ish as some other members, but here's some more of my junk. $40 Ebay Grasshopper (GH 2 body). I bought some Blitzer Beetle wheels on clearance, a pinion, and a battery door. Everything else came from my junk stash. I have less than $60 in it. It has a Redcat 550 motor, Axial esc (with dra...

I guess I'll toss my hat in the ring. Just finished this one. First one in almost 40 years!

Not the best picture but the aussies out there will know what this little invader is. Was hanging out on a piece of timber right next to my hand

Slammed that Cirrus clear servo into the SWB TRX-1. Kind of a corny theme of clear-to-smoky electronics, but if you got 'em all, why not? "shoulder shrug emoji"

.....and if you don't feel like dealing with the light bulb stringers.....10W 30ohm resistors do the trick. 20250218_122323.jpg 20250218_141337.jpg .....the last two packs ran just this past Sunday, on discharge.....beer for reference, when the resistor temperature gets as cool as the can, they're d...
