If John Milner was into RC cars...

I do a fair amount of designing parts in my free time and decided I should just make this thread for anyone interested in my debauchery. Up for today is this: RRD-LRM-Hydradrive-Cvr.jpg It's a redesign based on the long discontinued Losi JRX LRM HydraDrive Gear cover. Still need to do a test print a...

Print came out OK dimensions seem to be good and it fits the car with and without hydradrive. it does still have the slight clearance issues at full compression as the original with the sliders and the camber links at the inner most holes but it's ever so slight and there's not much more i can shave...

I bought the Digger when they first came out because it was something I could afford as a kid. It's funny, I remember the night I put it together because the desk in my bedroom I used as a workbench was under the windows, and the moon was shining in. The desk in question was covered on top by a piec...

You might have a business opportunity there. Buy them cheap and sell them as RC stands. This kid apparently expected to get 2 60th Anniversary Optimas for Christmas.

Some before and after pics of my Hobby Shed. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49408064247_6e81b88720_k.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49407384358_501dfe1488_k.jpg It was like that for around 10 years, then there was this global pandemic that caused lots of lockdowns and isolation periods...

This will be my first time building a new in box rc10 in about 30 years. I am building this up with a graphite chassis I picked up and didn't have a specific build for. IMG_3473.jpeg The front end went together well. You can see some small voids in the front A-Arms. The pieces are opaque, not clear....

Starting out the new year 1X better than last year. I've missed out on a few nice Novak 1X units but this one was right condition, right price and just needs a replacement power switch added. I can take care of that.

I feel like an RC10CC will be the right way to start the year.

The shock builds and top plate installation went fine. I'm not great at bleeding shocks, but I make a great mess trying. For the battery cup, my green fiberglass strap ended up being a better fit with the top plate. . PXL_20240107_044916669.jpg . PXL_20240107_054229011~2.jpg . After that, it was tim...

This also seemed like the right place for a body I had a friend paint a couple of months ago. The colors weren't a good match with the intended buggy, but I think this is the right buggy. I also added a homemade wing because I like wings. . PXL_20240107_223856551.jpg . PXL_20240107_223122890.jpg . P...

If I could make a suggestion there is one paint job you rarely see done yet would be somewhat period correct…. This paint job spells America with a capital M for sure !

I became a new dad to a newborn son. Strange for me to say it after all these years. I was THAT guy thinking it wasn't necessary, that it would be okay unmarried and without kids. No looking back now lol! Typing this as I try to figure out the basics of holding, changing, burping, balancing work, be...
