Soldered up some motor leads. Black Dean's mini pins. When did those hit the scene anyway? I'm shooting for late '96. Probably should have a different motor, but I can't give it up... 20240309_175044.jpg The motor is a few years older than the buggy, but i don't think that means it isn't period cor...

I was using those Black Dean's connectors in the Mid 1980's and then switched to the same style Red Dean's in 1990.

Got a bit done on the Bullet. Called this a stopping point because although the driveshafts I had were NIP, they were weathered and a bit orange. Will let them soak overnight and continue at some point tomorrow.

Saw this and couldn't resist posting it here!

Introduced by Schumacher in 1991 the Cougar 2 could be had in three models, Sport, Team, and Racing, all underpinned by a formed aluminum chassis and ball differential equipped transmission.

Featured here are a pair of ads for the Nitro 10 Storm stadium t...

Just thought I would also post up some pictures on the comparison of the ayk/ae tires. Since I have an ayk Sidewinder it would be interesting to consult the well-known relationship between the two.

Brought out by Schumacher in 1989 the ProCAT retained the Crashback front suspension of the original CAT lineup but on a wider fiberglass chassis that allowed for saddle pack battery mounting. The front and rear diffs were also upgraded, and on the later ProCAT SE, Varishocks and 2.2 aero wheels wer...

Brought to market in 1990 and based on the Cougar aluminum chassis the Shotgun with its high riding body was Schumacher's introduction to the monster truck racing scene.
