I can finally start my 6 gear build.

Looks like its time for me to sell some hydradrives! Lol

I put together a simple archive site with all of my Competition Plus scans here:
https://rchistoricalsociety.org/

Nowhere near complete, but I will maintain the site and upload more as I can. All issues are downloadable PDFs with highlightable text so you can copy, paste, control/f, etc.

That's a really cool buggy! Does it have a paint job already? Could have a light colored front to darker back theme. Or flames in the front making smoke towards the back. Yeah, THAT would be real simple to paint.

Yeah, no paint "yet". I kinda want to farm it out. It seems like a new from kit on a near pristine factory short chassis build deserves more than a two masking tape stripes three colors MAX rattle can afterthought job (but only because I'm not 14 years old now). Thinking clear wing though...

That's a pretty buggy... Can't blame a ya for wanting to farm out the paint. Cost of paint, materials, etc. is almost the same as a professional paint job... but without the better results.

Not exactly today, that was more during the long week-end we had here in France, but met again @TravelinTravis and @Trass in Belley for few days of RC vintage fun...

Got these Uber rare Lunsford XX front titanium axles. I didn't even know these were made until a year or two ago. Very happy to have them. There's been a used set on evil bay for awhile, but I was determined to wait for NIP.

The cups and collars are AE but the shocks are not. They have no hex under the cap. They're possibly Parma (I think they may have sold a blue shock like those but not 100%), or re-ano'd Duratrax or Kyosho golds. Could also be off some Bluebird model I don't know about.

Butchered this 6 gear motorplate to fit a stealth and then chopped some more to fit it into the tamiya astute chassis. Quite pleased with the final result. Will dye the stealth case black to match the tamiya plastics

You almost got it right

I know this is an old thread, but did you have this made or make it yourself? any tips on making one for myself?
