Alright chassis is together! PXL_20241008_124310872_C46nFyGI9L.jpeg PXL_20241008_124331431_2X3eGqbF2O.jpeg First white part is a silly one, but I dig it! Rear hub spacer. It was black in my later B2 kit back in the day. PXL_20241008_124351830_14L3qcwv01.jpeg Time to build the best shocks in the indu...

#8 is the size and 32 threads per inch is the pitch. An 8-32 tap is the correct specification.

Alright, everyone, this is it. Woke up this morning motivated to get the body done. This is a body I had on another car, so it isn't perfect, but the paint was close enough to the box art/Matt Francis design, that It was worth putting on this ride. I removed the stickers that weren't correct, and be...

Here's an SRT in a bag.

All parts are new although the screws will slow me down as I haven't ordered any.




Jeff's kits/conversions are always well put together.

And here the transmission is mounted in the truck. The shiny CVD bones fit so I'm pretty happy about that. I left the heatsink things on as it seems like something that would have been an option back in the day, kinda Litesink-ish. I also decided on a different gear cover, it's a T3 cover which I'm ...

I finally got my cheap CNC to start playing ball by simply lying to it about certain parameters. :D I have to tell it that bits are smaller than they actually are so that it will cut further, and after more testing, this works just fine. I need to see if there is a possibility that I can write this ...

Popped the seal on a couple Cadillac kits and figured id share the moment.

6016 kit w/ bearings


6020 kit w/ battery

I got the tank built. I did go ahead and build and install a sump box for it, and ran the internal lines close to what the instructions call for. Maybe there is a secret to bending 1/8 brass tube that I don't know about (I am thinking heat), but it isn't really as malleable in the real world as it i...

Hey very nice work! I will send my chassis to you right away...

Had a little time earlier today to get the throttle and brake links set up. This is not Asso correct, and purists may cringe, but this was my way to go about it. Still need to get to the steering linkage. I bought some square shaft Futaba servo horns, but on top of them being weird and square, appar...

This might help with the wing setup? e0f854_ccf8ab505d6544938db1b3d3c18f7ca5~mv2.jpg I was going for the actual car that won the '85 IFMAR 2WD buggy race, not the magazine cars. Thanks though! https://i.imgur.com/98WxrHh.jpg https://i.imgur.com/E2LOzqJ.jpg JJH came in 2nd place in the 4WD buggy cla...

In 1989 Kyosho brought a car called the Buick Stocker to market. A 1/12 electric on-road racer the little Buick was built on Kyosho's Super Alta platform originally released in 1985. It was constructed of molded plastic with vertical chassis plates connected by tapered horizontal plastic tubes. Coil...

Man...they just keep coming!

One question about flipping the gearbox around to do a mid motor. Isn't a reverse rotator motor needed, or a 0 degree timing motor that can be run reverse polarity for driving forward? I've always flipped the top shaft direction when I do a mid motor to keep motor rotation in the normal direction. ...
