Actually a few arrivals and a little bit ago

Well looking for something else on Ebay I bumped into something very familiar looking RREGSHSDGSD.jpg What gets me is the inverted rear shocks, which has been something that people are currently doing. I was looking at that one, too. If I hadn't bought all the stuff to do a Retrofit trans for my LX...

I finally have steering parts to model

Oh nice! I have been working on a xx buggy chassis to shrink to 16th scale myself. I was thinking of redesigning those bellcranks a bit to eliminate the bearings and servo saver when I shrunk them I'm planning on changing the design a bit to try and emulate the worlds prototype's machined look. Sho...

A bunch of odds and ends for the Lazers and XXX, the most noteworthy being the Rere Kyosho Gold shocks that were back in stock (albeit with a 'B' suffix) for the Pakistan Lazer

Thanks for the feedback… from the pic I see A5056 showing xxx-SCT on the label so I assume the one I posted would work as they are also advertised as such. So the front shock on the Truck isn’t 1.2 like the rear? it’s different? Cause the shocks I have F/R are same length? I’d much rather have the ...

Oh, god! Two or three times they've replaced it!?

Guess I'll be shopping for a new transmitter before too much longer! lol!

Thanks for finding that!

Fortunately my job still swaps out customer printers and had a bunch of old Dymos in the bin. From my printer design days I recall that Dymo likes to use worm gears and extension springs (super specific industry knowledge), so I took apart a few types and one had the dark brown small spring, which I...

"The RC10" being used loosely here, at least for '89 and '91 :mrgreen: Well, there wasn't any "loose" usage in 1993. Just saying. The RC10 was still getting it done, several years later. The Ultima, well wasn't. If the Ultama were truly the better car, it would have maintained i...

My cat fell ill, recently, and I had to put him down just a couple weeks shy of his 15th birthday. During the week we were waiting for test results I stayed home and took a lot of pictures. I snapped this one of him starting his daytime snooze out back and have it as my lock screen on my phone. Late...

I don't think I've made any component changes to the car since last posting, but I've run it a few times and eventually decided to do a rough setup for running at the upcoming burn. Doubt I'll have time to run it or anyone to run with, but that's neither here nor there. Anyway, I set the rear ride h...

Looks like the Optima Mid Rere has gear diffs and dogbones while the Worlds Optima has ball diffs, universals, and a bunch of Optima option parts

Didn't realize there existed this type of RC racing. I know I would totally be the person to trip over all the course barriers.

So I have a XXX buggy I overpaid for that I'm in the process of collecting parts and, in research, I saw there were a number of rare aluminum parts made for it. While finding those for a reasonable amount seems futile at this point, I got the idea to see if there were any for the TLR 22. Turns out t...

Since I got two of my lazers back together (one running, one needs electronics, break-in, and testing), I decided to dust off my YZ10 and get to work with that. One thing I'm doing is replacing some of the hardware with screws that seem to fit better and/or aren't as beat up. Also I sourced new bear...
