This is sort of a branch off from the Mini Jrx2 thread. Jeff pointed me to some Traxxas Hawk cad files and being as the hawk was my first performance RC I have been considering making a mini version of it as I have been designing all these parts for the Mini Jrx2. I printed off a test chassis but wh...

Why that must be Italian!

Handle with care? Right.

Was driving my Lunchbox last night and noticed noise coming from the gearbox .Not a grinding sound but growling , it happens in both forward and reverse . I thought it was just the tires on the floor but I picked it up and spun the rear wheels and the sound was still there the weird thing is when I ...

What you gotta remember is scr8p usually votes on the last day just incase it needs a tie breaker , I wonder who gets his vote this month :?: He got my vote so I'm happy no matter . Yeah, I usually never vote unless it's really necessary. I also never vote for my own entry. So I think if this would...

I am really looking forward to seeing this one. I had a Bullet, but I am not that familiar with the Traxxas racers. A couple of guys I used to race with (aka lose to...) BITD were sent free Traxxas kits. They would run them for a bit and do well, but always switched back to Losi or Associated soon a...

Sorry for the downtime! The site wasn't responding when I went to sleep this morning but was far too tired to look into it. It appeared to be a minor server issue that I hoped would work itself out as they sometimes do. I woke up, and it was still down. :? I contacted support, and within 10 minutes ...

Got eyes on this Saturday. It's a dream come true up close. Realizes a long time dream! Runs decent too, if you're into actually running R/C cars... I just like to look.

Some video of this running last weekend. Drove real nice. It would be great to see it on a real track. I think it would be extremely competitive.

Well yet again I can never sit still, way too much of my Grandpa Murphy in me. He always had to be doing something. Spent the past 5 days working about 10hrs per day redoing the gun room. Ran out of room so needed to extend the slatwall. So figured while I had it all torn apart I would redo the enti...

Finally got electronics and a painted body for this car

Not to get political, but "Made in Taiwan" and "Made in China" don't have the same stigma.

So I found the lengths that will work. And I know the threads are 4-40 type. I can't seem to find the diameter anywhere. And pardon my ignorance if the diameter is implied with the 4-40 thread type designator. Will they fit the Gen I Traxxas rod ends? I'll sign off with the ol' "thanks in adva...

The retro turnbuckles start with a 1/8" rod that is turned/rolled with #4-40 threads on the ends. As shown above just under 3mm

At the IconicRC Revival weekend I got to hold Craigs Detroit 91 Stealth car that he still has, he is looking on restoring it. While I had it I took some photos of it that you might enjoy. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AL9nZEVnfLMZk5zD6aK3Tf5KoDJiKTRih2gqywi30gai0nk7rXWOdUBzvdXmMvJOuPdmxQUWqfK...
