Thanks everyone....the only difference between an Optima and the Pro is the radio plate, body and under tray. The radio plate is specific to this model as it moves the steering servo to the back and moves battery forward a bit. I know in the 1st part of this thread i was gonna use a 240s, but it jus...

This is the hardest Le Mans to find, Period...unless u have an original Turbo Scorpion. Its the Holiest of Holy Grails! Adjustable timing/bushings just like a 600e. Its all original, factory brushes, barely ran (not rebuilt) but does of a new MCI decal received_1120107675081240.jpeg received_7281952...

Energy IL, where folks change holy grails like underwear.

At some point, they just end up being ordinary grails.

A lot of truth to that, simply being something that is sought after.

Perhaps, being raised in the south, my view is a little different.

So recently I got hold of a car I always wanted but avoided getting because of the reputation of their fragility , the Marui Samurai , In my mind they are one of the nicest looking cars from the 80's and when I decided to get one I was sort of resigned to never really driving it. When it arrived it ...

She's gonna be a beaut clark, make sure to go full box art on that resto! Definitely going do to box art. I personally think its the best looking one. I took it apart last night, has a small crack on the back of the chassis, but i should be able to repair it easily. Everything is is extremely clean...

So, my mind is a bit blown. I received a Circus Hobbies era JR radio today and went down the rabbit hole researching. A349C091-557A-4771-A461-8DDA0F982296.jpeg My buddy bought some stuff while at Circus hobbies way back in the day, and mentioned it was part of Circus Circus. Found this to be true wh...

I restored an AYK Buffalo that, if built according to the manual, had a bad bump-steer issue just like your Rocky. It was easily remedied on that car by reversing the installation of the outer tie-rod ball-studs on the steering knuckles, so the balls were pointing down instead of up, which brought t...

It's looking really special ! I noticed you have the steering configured differently on the two cars , do you know what the stock configuration is ? Thanks. :D The stock configuration is in the Coyote. I copied Umberto Pernice's steering setup from his '87 World's Coyote in the Pro 10. Love that Pr...

Hope this doesn't ruffle anyones panties but, i figured out why no one votes. It's just good ole fashioned laziness. I mean you vote for the president and its a waste of time (at least in Illinois) but in an important poll like this people just casually stroll by. this crap is serious! Don't worry,...

I actually did install car stereos for a few years.. and was wondering "how does he know??"

Picked this car up a while ago. Don't know why but never took any good before pics. Only got a few. evader orig1.JPG evader orig2.JPG evader orig3.JPG evader orig4.JPG evader orig5.JPG evader orig6.JPG The first upgrades included a few parts, wheels, tires, springs, shock shaft, bumper, hub carrier,...

That looks sweet. Going to be doing this on a body for an actual CE car. Any huge benefit to the decals on the inside? I have never done this. Thanks homz...car still sitting there just like that...never raced it, lol on the decals inside...not really and it can actually be a PIA to get rid of bubb...
