Oooo... very nice wheels... those look light just sitting there. As pretty as the wheels are though, the Revell paint is shocking. That is a night and day difference compared to the paint pens. A lot of awesome in those two posts. You mentioned painting the bumpers... the original TDP car used chrom...

Wonder if the Parma bodies will ever make a comeback too. www.slotcarstore.net/pages/PARMA-RC-Bodies-T1622.html www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=48592 ...one email away from finding out if you can get one. Totally understand on taking artistic liberty's, it's generally a more fun way to travel.

Yes, those are fingernail stars for women :lol:. They are the perfect scale size to try to make this happen. Perfect! I bought some of those for an Evel Knievel themed buggy but wasn't sure they would work on the inside of the lexan, so I haven't tried it yet. For the helmet they should work well. ...

Part 3 might be available - tomorrow?

That’s awesome. I love hearing the history behind them. Very cool.

I am so happy to see that Cliff and Curtis are still involved with AE -- with Cliff as senior engineer consultant and Curtis as racing product development director. According to Linkedin, former company president Shawn Ireland left AE late last year and even former marketing director Jeff Johns (Axi...

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...

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...).
It also works great as a neutral backer.

The Revell on the outside of the plastic isn't very durable from my experience. It depends on the black backer for its strength.

edit: ignore me! I confused my Revell and my Spaz Stix.

Factory Works bellcrank setup would be even better, and it has color options now.

Want to keep this one a stock example of a mid-late Edinger, on the outside, bearings and 6-gear hopup can't really be seen, but felt. Natural color is selectable to the right of the photo...

Should be a 1/4 x 3/8 bearing

Yeah just a standard plain bearing like the 10t rear axles use.

In 1989 Team Associated would enter the 1/10th scale electric on-road racing market with the RC10L. A scaled up version of the RC12L it shared a number of parts between them. The 10L featured the same coil over kingpin a-arm front suspension with wire tie rod, locking collars and Kimbrough servo sav...

I have already a Fantom, but my son is actually taking it more and more when there is a vintage event and the possiblity to drive it on the track. And since it is probably my favorite onroad racer, I had to solve this... Here comes the 60th anniversary EXT gold version. I have it sitting under my de...
