It came with some other parts I needed. I already have a nice Diamond motor, so this one is ok to be a rebuild project.

Ok I’ll convert something 1/10 scale to 17mm hex and put a e36 body on. The wheels will look good I’m sure

Small scratches can be fixed with Birchwood Casey Aluminum black.
Clean surface with acetone.
Apply Aluminum Black with a cotton bud or brush.
Rinse with water.
Polish with dremel and cotton wheel.

Here is a photo of it where it’s going to stay.

I have located a body for this. I’ll leave it like this for a bit and get the body on it when it’s time for a decor change.

2024 is shaping up to be an expensive year

Held from August 3-9 in Romsey England, this is a special vintage magazine capturing the 1987 IFMAR 1/10 EP Off-Road World Championships. This cleared up questions about the winning vehicles 1,2, and 3 in both 2WD and 4WD classes for me. Also the prototype Yokomo 870c and Kyosho Optima Mid machines ...

IMG_1139.jpeg IMG_1140.jpeg IMG_1141.jpeg When I get home I’ll work on installing the electronics and see if I dare solder everything up. 😬 also need to put a pinion on. The one thing I usually leave undone on a shelfer is no shock oil. Super excited about how she’s coming along. Glad I decided to ...

Here are some relatively rare Yokomo 870c white nylon suspension arms. I'm tempted to replace the black arms with these.
As close to Jesus' legendary cup as there is

Got some paint on it with new decals.

If you want an alternative, I have had these floating around for years, honestly, until today didn’t realize they were that rare….these look like fronts? But happy to chat if you need them. I will have to pass on your generosity as I will be needing the front and rears. With the rere 870c I'm sure ...

Make sure you put a couple of body pins in those 6929 screws on the rear plate.

Great to be here. Name's Roy, I'm an old fuddy-duddy basher, now turned into a Vintage (and a few present) RC collector/restorer. Been out the scene for many, many yrs since I was stationed in S.Korea back in the 90's I restore old motorcycles as my main hobby, but when the weather got too cold one ...

I came across a nice, one owner, mostly complete TRX-1 in a lovely shade of Kermit the Frog green. It came with a really nice motor plate too. However, some slight difference between the TRX-3 gearbox and a TRX-1 gearbox mean the TRX-1 motor plate only works with a TRX-1 gearbox. Well crap, now I ha...

I received this is body so very long ago when I bought some cars off Craigslist. I can’t remember how long I’ve had this body, at least 10 years. I was tired of looking at it in its state so I decided to paint it. Previous owner attempted to strip paint off and left it pink. So I masked the windows....
