What a awesome build and thread. Truck looks fantastic and love the cross outs on the body I might have to do something similar on mine.
Good job placing 4th in the event, must have been driving pretty darn well.

It was awesome meeting you and the wife RJ and talking poop with Alex. I also concur this thing was awesome and his performance making the A final was a stand out.

Cheers
Rob

Yeah, if I paid money for Traxxarse stuff, I'd find it hard to believe.....

Seriously though, I guess these are unobtanium? Looks like the start of another project... or the tidying up of a current one.

Found a cool video on YouTube about Shodog's collection with his son. There are a few other ones as well.

Never heard of these guys before... pretty solid track. itg6kgijKUY Pointless but true story: I very nearly bought a 63 Fairlane that was owned by the singer. He had sold it on (I assume he moved up scale with the band's success). When I saw it, it had deteriorated a bit from when he had it, but st...

This leads me to wanting to make some Wile E decals that say "ACME Drag Shocks" for craps and giggles if someone has a look under the car. Coming along nicely! If you end up getting the S's&G's decals for the shocks....I'm one of those weirdos that gets on his belly to have a look at ...

Gathering. I still gotta dig some shock bodies out, misc. hardware, etc. Kinda floundering on replica vs. variation on the prototype...nothing is perfect I guess. Anyway. Still need to determine some rear hole locating (bulkhead attachment) for the battery box side plates. Plan is to get battery str...

You'll have to bear with me as the donation system no longer appears to be recording any donations made. :shock: :? I'm getting the notifications directly from PayPal to my email though, so they can be figured out that way for now. It's just a much slower process. I donated $500 just for the record...

I wanted more than just a couple waffles... so I got myself a whole box...

Machining some big bore spring collars for Associated shocks. Handy having machine tools.

Machined up a special diff sleeve for the Navajo because it doesn't have one. DS.jpg I finally started building my backyard track last month. Just doing a bit each weekend as time allows. I've been shifting dirt with a wheelbarrow to make the berm. This is how much has been done so far. 3.jpg This a...

The track's finished. Added a small jump after the tabletop and halfway down the main straight. The pictures are taken from the driver's stand. The driver's stand. I'll build a real one in 2026.
