Thanks! I may be reaching the "too many R/Cs" threshold....

not possible. there is a "not enough room" limit but thats about all I can figure out

Seen that done and works well, just try to keep the tires away from the wall a tiny bit. If you want something more permanent the plank system I use works sideways too- basically like how shoes are displayed. Instead of long planks just make short ones. This is my old plank system for example. Just ...

Thanks for winning that. I really didn't need a third.

I wasn’t the other bidder but I was looking at it until the last. It was a good looking t2 and I have a soft spot for them. Gotcha. They are way cool. My brother has an RC10GT and a truck converted RC10 buggy, I think an RC10DS also, I have the Team Car that I'm still finishing, and my daughter has...

For anyone on here interested, and close enough: We're going to be adding a vintage 2wd buggy and Stadium Truck classes to this years Trophy Races. Both classes are 17.5. There is no scheduled trophy Race In May. The only Saturday race in May is the 13th, so we're gonna try to run them that day. The...

Master your dirt with the Dirt MASTER!

Seems like a good name for a vacuum cleaner.

You can swap the entire caster and steering block arrangement from a Traxxas Bandit with a little grinding. Just use the wider truck axles and wide hexes.

You can also use the parts from a Stampede, Slash, or Rustler, but they require a little more work.

I use RIT dye. They have one specific to synthetics that I use and reuse.

I would highly recommend using the Rit Dyemore. The old RIT dye was good but its been gone for a while now and the new stuff just doesn't seem to work as well. Dyemore is like the old stuff. You can get it at fabric stores and Hobby Lobby. Graphite is the black in Dyemore, its still jet black. These...

I think Graphite is just a fancy name for black. I'm 99% sure the Graphite is what dyes my parts black. I get mine from a local Hobby Lobby.

I store my used dye in glass containers for future reuse. Plastic jugs and steel paint cans have both left me with catastrophes.

I built this RC 10 in the early 90’s while I was working at RC Car Action mag. Dig it out the other day. Had Tekin 410k esc. Carbon fiber tub chassis. Anodized old style shock bodies from Associated. Reedy motor. Did an article about it but don’t have the issues around.

Maximum specification is what everyone wants duh

Fantastic results. With some room for improvement. IMG_2146.jpeg IMG_2147.jpeg IMG_2148.jpeg The demold wasn’t to challenging even though I made some mistakes on the layup. The parts need very little finishing on the outside surface. They have the look and feel of professional pieces. As well the mo...

For the rocket car...."F" engines too
