LurkingCAT gave me this car for donating to the website a few weeks ago and I've decided to do some work to it recently. Not sure what compelled me to get this car, but it's nearly as old as me. I do intend on driving this car, lightly, at least a few times. I knew from the start that the original ...

I have been literally scared to dive deep into this Tami 3 speed for way too long, but this morning was the time for it for some reason. Replaced all bushings for bearings, except for two. Haven't put motor on it yet, but it spins freely in all three "gears." Spur gear was shot, and it is ...

Went down to Draper, Utah for the Salt City Clash no prep drag race where one of our team members won the whole dang thing! $8100 cash. Super fun day!

Started designing a complete car today , object is to make an indestructible 3d printed car out of mostly TPU . It's to have a minimum of parts , here i have the front suspension printed in only 5 parts . It uses live pivot joints like I think it was the Kyosho Icarus ? 20230711_200633.jpg 20230711_...

Just picked up two NIB 240s you see on the right. That makes 3 that will end up in Shelf Queens...

It was a good Kyosho day.. A new 480S. https://i.postimg.cc/tgzjZb73/6-CA247-C5-6032-41-A0-9568-9-F4288049-D80.jpg And something I thought I would never find..A W-5005 Special Rod Set(Turnbuckle upgrade) for my Maxxum FF build. https://i.postimg.cc/W3bP0yJQ/80279-B1-A-4129-43-AC-97-C3-8-D722-F35-CAF...

Finally scored a Race Prep motor for the case. Listed as used but it's never been soldered

So, I stumbled into this MIP 4X in a lot that I picked up yesterday, not having any idea what it was, outside of being cool. I am just starting to break it down now to get a jist of what is there and not there, and get nylon soaking. I am going to have a lot of questions because I would ultimately l...

This will be the build thread of a stock spec vintage race truck, an attempt to make a Traxxas SRT fast. With the cost and rarity of Associated parts here I decided to make the switch to the dark side, where parts are considerably cheaper and readily available. A truck that I can push 100% (or beyon...

Really nice score. Does it have an MIP or Thorp diff? It has a diff that looks like this. :mrgreen: TRANS INTERNALS.jpg At some point today, I remembered the fantasticness of Aero Kroil (now just called Kroil??), and went and bought some in just liquid form instead of aerosol. I am just leaving the...

Got myself a race truck from eBay.... a nice T3. Should be great for the Vintage Bash in November.... even if I can't drive!

The body is painted. Almost done....

Got a nice haul of Aussie Dirt & Track magazines in the mail.... a local deal, and pretty good price as well. 26 of the first 29 issues... some rare awesomeness here! DandT.jpg Issue 26 is going to a good mate to complete his D&T collection, and the rest..... who knows? Maybe I'll just read ...

If you want some more front grip, the JConcepts 1.9 fronts fit nicely on the Kyosho wheels.
