Happy Birthday Thumber!!!!!

Happy Easter all!!!

The event went well overall for attendance and the entries. The track surface is sealed and the course was very tricky. When you pushed too hard you ended up with some pretty good crashes and I know a lot of guys were frustrated. The local fast guys were fun to watch and knew how to drive that layou...

OK, pulled and trimmed a few photos from facebook, compliments of Freddie (Technica) and Dirk (Old School).

Jc racing makes wheels that fit this car and are 2.2" so you can run modern tires. We had a vintage race recently on a fairly aggressive track and a guy ran his new rerelease and broke an arm. Not sure if it was a super hard hit or if the plastic isn't the greatest so use caution on these guys.

Yep Duratax. And yes, you need to hit the very edge of the chassis with a Dremel just behind the mount screws to clearance the chassis for the arms. The chassis is also quite wide in the first third of its length so most bodies don't really fit it well there. Andies pro arrow and renegade fit it wel...

That would be a houge trailing arm chassis. Same form factor as the other one as most of the aftermarket carbon chassis were laid up and fab'ed by composite craft and used roughly same routing masters.

If you have the brake fet installed, I would try removing that guy first.

Looks great with the gold wheels!!!

I gotcha, you are looking for a solution for racing and multiple cars.

Yeah the whole offset thing is crazy to me, they should advertise the dimensions. Same for universal joints and cvds too.

You can use standard white nuts on the m3 threads. They are 1/4" hex but those plastic nuts are usually good for a #4 or #5 screw and m3 is right in the middle of those. Probably what he used.

I'll push my glasses up even a bit further and say that there were several variations of the blue color found on the early shocks. I have a set(sic) of 3 shocks that are almost turquoise, which I believe were on the nitro buggy/truck versions. I'll likely never find a matching shock to complete this...

It's super easy to slam a lunchbox. Just take off the lower block front and year, and use the chassis just like a hornet or grasshopper, then run hornet/grasshopper wheels and street tires. It's how my lunchbox lived forever because when I got it, it was just a box of parts, some of which were missi...

If you are going to do it to the pumpkin, you'll have to watch the shock shafts, probably have to do something different. The lunchbox with the van body doesn't care how far the shock rods stick up. The pumpkin body I think has some limits. You may also have to find different springs or trim the spr...

That will clean up and make a great runner. Rpm worlds car
