Thanks sir, unfortunately I've been living up to my screen name and being - sofaking lazy! In my defense though it's hockey season and I just bought a beautiful new LED tv
I definitely plan on getting the trans and rear end all buttoned up so i should have some updates over the weekend.
Okay, as promised. Tranny loaded with Thorp 48p gears, pinned diff and Kose axles in place. I'm stoked on how the rear end has come together so far. Any comments or criticism are always welcome. Thanks, Dave

First off thanks for the compliment and yes those are 12mm adapters. Funny thing is I have a set of white hpi stars for RC10's but they seem to be made for 3/16 axles (which is weird, a 2 inch wheel for modern axles). Luckily I had these adapters in my parts stash since the Kose's are old school 1/4 taper style and these will allow me to use a set of hpi stars designed for Kyosho hexes. When I mocked it up everything fit like a glove . I just wish I knew who made them, I'm sure someone on here will.
I do have the tranny brace but I'm short one stainless button head so I'll have to do some fishing to see if I can come up with another. Thanks, Dave
Dave,
Looks awesome. Another great build in the works!! I also really like the Kose axles on there.
Who made the aluminum bearing dust cover on the trans?

Thanks for the compliment sir, unfortunately I don't know who made those. I wound up with two that came on a couple cars I received in a trade lot. No one chimed in with a manufacturer on the one I used for an earlier build, maybe someone will this time.

The guy that owns TBG is really nice. I've ordered a couple of kits from him and got him to drill one of the chassie plates for a stealth tranny. I'm going to assemble 1 more car with the stealth and i think that will be it.
Remember it's either a runner or a shelfer. Everything else is just parts.

I'm fortunate to have one daughter from a previously relationship, and she means the world to me.

I watched the F1 car doing a demo at the USGP at Indy 4 or 5 years ago and it was unbelievable. Back then you could put one together for under $2500 but now days I think more like $5000 to 7500, unbelievable detail. They had a track laid out in the...
Picked up this B2 about 6-7 months ago and well I can never leave anything alone so now it's outfitted with carbon fiber! Have to find an era correct motor and receiver for it.
Don't know why these came out dark..oh well

The way I was explained it, the B2 was designed to do ONE thing - win the 95' worlds at the Yatabe, in the hands of a very limited, selected few elite drivers.... and so it did :)
Hey everyone, I'm pretty excited to join your forums! I really like seeing all the builds you guys do, and some are pretty extreme and very well made. I've been working on my own vintage-ish builds and the threads I've stumbled on here have been a...
