This won't have the cool factor of the custom builds I've seen win in the past, but most of my builds are box art/build manual style, and this is the first one I documented the build on here. Thought it was fitting to have it be the first I submitted for BOTM. The RC10 B2 was my second ever hobby gr...

The shiny CVD bones are a touch shorter then the bones in the kit so I'll have to check that they are long enough before using them.


Shocks Installed.

20241109_234709.jpg Same as the last three trucks, I cut the ears off the gearbox. 20241109_234938.jpg Here's a little racers tip for gearboxes, sand the bottom flat so that when you bolt it down it sits flat/square without binding or warping the case. Most molded gearboxes like these are terrible....

Since I originally planned to build this as a "period" racer I bought an A&L/Factory Works Power Clutch to go along with the theme. I've never had or seen one before so here it is for those interested like myself. 20241109_235354.jpg Looks pretty good assembled. It definitely has that ...

And the bag is empty, nothing left....

Alright I cleaned up the hydradrive and cleaned tires all up and swapped out some screws. I will take some more pictures tomorrow.

New motor for the storage case, lol.

In mid August I stumbled across a Youtube clip called “Losi´91 Detroit Conversion Kit – First Track Test Day” published by Grand Prix 3D. After watching the clip a couple of times I emailed Andrew at GP3D and placed a pre order for at kit. I still remember taking the bus to the magazine store every ...

This Big Jim motor is going to look good in here. I also received a new chassis in the mail for this today.

Finally got around to painting the brand new body for my hornet show car. Spaz Stix candy apple red on the body and mirror chrome on the wing. It's not perfect, but for a first time I think it's pretty good.

Not trying to promote a specific vendor but https://www.jcracingproducts.co.uk/wheels/associated-1 I just got some 2.2"ers here.
Direct fit, no hex adapters.
