Got a bit more done on the SRB. I ended up breaking the pot metal on one of the front susp arms, so need to track one of those down. The shocks have serious dissimilar metal corrosion, and I think I have three worked out, but one is a little messed up. The rear body mount post had a wood screw in it...

Painted the wing and mounted up the body for my 870c. Gave up on trying to get paint into the sides of the wing and just ended up painting the exterior of it, doesn't look too bad, just less shiny than the body.

Painted a couple jconcepts bodies today.

Shocks mounted and body cut out. The shocks are butter smooth with a touch of green slime and the big springs, Fabio can't believe it either. it's good to see it finally coming together. I've still got a few little bits coming to shave a few more grams off it. The rolling chassis will be over 100g l...

That body looks really good for being painted on the outside. Did you clearcoat it? I'm not familiar with this car but the body looks pretty cool, aside from the front shock mount...

You should be pleased with the suspension mod , very tidy

I’ve been waiting on my window net material to show up. Dropped a Cadillac motor and NiCad pack in to give it some weight. Probably going to call it good enough.

Something fun!

Very nice, but I wouldn't expect anything else

Last piece came today, I could still go further but I've had enough with tracking down parts overseas. Titanium hinge pins, nothing special but they are about half the weight of the stock steel pins. 20240618_203956.jpg SRT Race Roller for comparison 20240618_205618.jpg T3 Race Roller - only thing m...

Looking good. Awaiting the stickered up "reveal"!

I first saw one of these on Tamiyaclub back in 2006. First impressions were, "what were they on?" :lol: After much investigation and research, I decided that I would buy one and modify it for running. There's no way I could shelve something this weird. The overall plan is to add bearings,...

I had already drilled the chassis for the standard steering servo mount location, so this building it as a standard gold pan seems right. Well, sort of standard.

I have already a Fantom, but my son is actually taking it more and more when there is a vintage event and the possiblity to drive it on the track. And since it is probably my favorite onroad racer, I had to solve this... Here comes the 60th anniversary EXT gold version. I have it sitting under my de...
