I also started to make myself a replica



Part 4 (Saturday 7th November 2015)

The Ultima is back where it belongs!

What is going on with the case on the Tekin? Is it splitting? Or is this just a weird viewing angle? After 2015 restoration it was in good condition. It looks like something did happen to the case. Maybe someone fought the servo tape trying to remove it from the shock tower and damaged it. That dan...

Currently playing in my head... Happy Days Are Here Again by the Muppets



Not at good as the original version... but there isn't one on Youtube so... credit to the guy for putting himself out there

Purple chassis' are preeeeetty....

Nice collection... could the box get any more 90's?

It's kinda got a cartoony effect going on. Being on a comical chassis I think it counts. Maybe the body could be moved back slightly and cut so it'd sit lower with the towers poking out to get the fully adorkable appearance?

HPc-EX: Asian Market. Different labels on the same controllers. Same 410-HPc retail boxes too but with...

Admittedly I don't have a lot of unicorn eyelash type stuff. But pretty sure when you can't find the thing for sale anywhere online, you can officially call it rare.

So... what do you think is the rarest R/C part you have?

I like to think the Chunky RC10T front tires I have would make the list...

Somebody brought a ringer, I wonder who...

Fixed it for you

The dangers of LiPo have been massively exaggerated. Don't try to charge them with an arc welder and you will be fine. That said, nope, you don't need them. This hobby is about having fun and wasting money. As long as you are smiling and teetering on the edge of bankruptcy, you are doing great! Tha...

I put together a compilation of all the runs so far into one video!



In all seriousness, rough run. Would moving the rockets forward change the center of pressure and reduce the cars tendency to become airborn?

Great video. I got the sense Akira said a lot more in Japanese about the reproduction project than the English subtitles provided. Several minutes of speaking yielded a couple english sentences, I would like to know what missed out on. well darn... I had the video translated but apparently the link...

The driver looks absolutely terrified!
