These are 2 of my favorite. Both are great looking, iconic cars. They had high potential but let down by a very hit or miss transmission. I think there was an issue with the molds for the transmission cases. If you got correct cases, the transmission was decent. If you received cases that were out o...

Very cool! There is a small but healthy RC boat racing group near me. Do you race? Thanks! I don’t race anymore, but did quite a bit in the 90s to early 2000s.

Unexpected home remodel project is really interrupting RC bench time (& budget) the last couple weeks. :evil: But still, taking small bites at projects and a few pics. (posting from my Iphone and the preview pics are all rotated screwy) First is one for the married guys. I’m using the wood stov...
