Just screenshots as I no longer own a webserver or theshreves.com

The Jun Watanabe Hornet was released in 2012 I believe. Did they re-release it under the Block Head Motors label again in 2020 or something? Since Watanabe owns Blockhead my guess is the car is from the 2012 rerelease but Blockhead was/is still making pink tires. Just one color? If you're gonna tea...

I was looking for some spare screws for some toy grade rc cars, as well as my son jegs stinger. I ran across the below article when looking for information on thread count/pitch. https://engineeringproductdesign.com/knowledge-base/self-tapping-screws-for-plastics/ It's a nice read but some key point...

Not surprised to see them back but I am surprised it happened so quickly.

The site is up, but the marketplace doesn't appear anymore... Doesn't appear... yet :wink: Maybe, maybe not. They bought all assets of Shapeways, which is likely mostly printing stuff... And when I read the first message you put on this thread, I see nothing indicating the marketplace will be back....

For a second, I thought the gold alloy shocks you described were THE Kyosho Gold shocks.

Ordered two of these from the UK last night, The Dead Pool project is moving forward again, thanks to @TxRx


May take a couple weeks to get them.

Haha, could you imagine, if that were the case there'd be a lot of shockless Cosmo's for sale.

...and clutchless!

The ol' lady is watching something stupid, so it got me thinking about hand-wound motors. Has anyone ever made one? Is it possible these days? I have not googled this for the sake of conversation. I'd love to make one with a custom label.

This is the most anticipated run of vintage ads for me. :D I like the Schumacher ads more, but I overdosed on those long ago. I probably could have knocked out a year of college with the time I spent staring at those 2 page Tower Hobbies ads featuring the Turbo Ultima. :lol: If you run out of buggy ...

Hi all...adding this here because there are others already posted in this section...Daryl Lane gave this truck to me, his last personal truck, a few weeks before he passed in 2021. As such, I can see his touches throughout and it took me some time to get to working on it. As it currently sits, there...

Serious entry level racing machine!!!

In this first picture, I'd argue the car is actually 'stuck' in sand

The guitar sounds like something from Castlevania, cool stuff. Speaking of castles... so many quarters spent at Aladdin's Castle playing Super Off Road... worth every penny. That's a serious level-up, using a guitar :lol: Are you a game collector, or a MAME user? Let me know if you need any of thos...
