For something this specific, why doesn't this come with a prepainted body?

I finally watched the full Jay Halsey video on the previous page. I saw a pic of my replica at the 9:30 time stamp. :) This one? Yeah. That pic is from right before I sent it to him to sign the body so it still had the black wheels. I found the chrome outer halves after it came back. Almost 15 year...

They are press fit in the case and slip fit in the endbell. Yes, you can swap a bushing for bearing. If the shaft is messed up from a pinion screw eating into it you might have trouble getting the bearing past it, so you may end up filing the shaft slightly.

Complete with: - Carbon shock towers - rear sway bar - hardened prop shaft - alloy lower arms - alloy hubs all round - universal drive shafts on all corners - adjustable upper links - modern e...

I was supposed to finish the berm, but got sidetracked by building the tabletop jump which was finished today. Kyosho Optima for size reference.

I've wanted a sealed Money motor for a long time and finally got one.

Amain was (is?) closing out some toy grade stuff, took a gamble on them since they didn't have much for pics or reviews. This entire lot was under $100, and while shipping wasn't free I did make another purchase that qualified so the entire lot shipped for free. Pretty impressed with the quality for...

David finally figured out how to navigate the delicate Politics of botm! Congratulations!

Finally!
A very nice box from Grand Prix 3D in Australia has arrived.
Been waiting since 1991 for a chance to build this!

Finally, a 959 I could afford The Tamiya is just so out of reach. This one ended up being brand new, I was expecting lightly used.

In 1985 Kyosho introduced a 1/8 4wd nitro powered buggy called the Vanning. Preceded by the similar but trailing arm equipped Land Jump from 1980 and sharing its manual with the Presto Buggy the Vanning was built on an aluminum square tube ladder frame with a tubular roll cage. Its molded nylon 4-wh...
