While it definitely isn't "chrome", I use Duratrax Silver Streak on bumpers and such. It is metallic and reflects well in sunlight (its overcast today, so...). https://www.rc10talk.com/download/file.php?id=174630&t=1 It also works great as a neutral backer. That does look good. Spaz S...

The completely dry lexan scrap, with the Revell painted side facing outward, notice the mirror like reflection. https://i.imgur.com/fS5WZQJ.jpg Severely folded and twisted the scrap - Revell did not lose adhesion or make a dent in it. https://i.imgur.com/uewzk2A.jpg I'm convinced Revell is durable e...

The last can of TS-15 will be here tomorrow, that makes (5) cans . I learned some really hard lessons on this model about prep and painting, but it should be done very soon.

Have to do this one in TS-14 Black. Finished the electronics this evening, and will paint it tomorrow.

Got the Dhawk TDP wheels yesterday, they're exactly what I ordered, beautiful craftsmanship. Tried all of the foam donuts that I had purchased in anticipation, and none of those foam donuts fit the TDP wheels yesterday. Was so bummed out over the money and time spent, to have it all not work as I ha...

VUI-ELCdjxo Can't go any further on this project, waiting for parts again. https://i.imgur.com/Yl1A46y.jpg In the mail currently. 40th axle shim kit - the original cone washers and flat washers were bent, one was nearly folded. Would cost too much to go NOS, went 40th instead. https://i.imgur.com/J...

Everything is under control. Situation normal
There was a slight browser malfunction. But everything is perfectly all right now.
We're fine. We're all fine here now. How are you?

Who is this, what's your operating number?

Bought a VW Dual Cab body a while back and got it cut out. This one has a wheelbase of 256mm, or standard RC Touring size. https://i.imgur.com/5nsRN5S.jpg Going to paint it with Tamiya PS-55 flat clear primer, and then use automotive color matched L31 Dove Blue, for as close of a match to the real t...

Who is this, what's your operating number? dJLKBb2MgwA Sade's Smooth Operator could be the irony card to play here - as in - that went well, or well that escalated quickly. :D https://media0.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExMDdrbGlyNWk3OGFpeDZwb2dhZzk5Y3Z6YjRkc2p0ZmF2bTA2OTNtMiZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hb...

Those are great rear tires... But, Tamiya Holiday Buggy tires are what he ran. Thanks for the info! Maybe I'll set out to find a pair of those Holiday Buggy tires at some point, but the sidewall writing on the Pro-Line's is my favorite look of that period. Going to have to be a loose interpretation...

Completed.








Going to focus on getting all of these Tamiya models finished. Really like how this one turned out.

Going to take this car in the direction of a Jammin' Jay Halsey tribute, to both the 1985 race car, and the RC10 in the movie The Dead Pool. Not going to mod the chassis or make an exact replica, exterior will be close as I can get it though. https://i.imgur.com/3Ct0pZP.jpg https://i.imgur.com/YGIC9...

If this mid-late Edinger had come with the box, manual, and original body, I would've left it all stock.

Need to work up the courage to cut out the Andy's body.

Nobody really used the single cup on the early cars, people installed the pack sideways. The holes were offset to one side as well, so the pack would have sat at a bit of an angle. It was for servo clearance with the speed control on one side but that never made it to production. Now that you've sa...
