With a bin full of used parts it seemed silly not to have a runner. Not modern, not old school- just whatever was kicking around. Topped with a TBG pantera body, I was thinking I was using racing red- it was bright red. Now she looks like a Ferrari. Great basher body now lol! Now if we would get some decent weather around here I can take it up to the dog track parking lot for some fun
That body post spacer is bugging the crap out of me but I won't run a batch of dye for just it.
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas Factory Works website

The chassis is scarfed up and it's a late model with the "is" holes. The radio tray is cut badly for a servo. The front arms are three hole cut down to 2 hole and dyed to hide the evidence. The axle is an early hollow steel diff axle. It's a mutt...so I'm ok with running it! Lol

Looks awesome, Jeff. I love the Pantera body...but you should've gone with a Shelby blue with white stripes theme. Growing up, a couple kids our age (not friends because they were spoiled brats), their father had a Pantera, painted pretty much like this...it always looked and sounded awesome driving by.
Marc, that one got so little love that it almost didn't even get the windows masked out
Sold her a long while back. Decided runners are overrated

Finally got caught up enough to build a runner from my parts bin. Fresh rebuilt 6 gear (rockin a new set of OG white idlers :shock: ) smooth as can be! I did update the chassis just a bit, it’s 1/4” longer to accommodate a lipo pack and bolt in...

No, I was able to copy an original. This one is modified slightly though.
Matt, not a clue on that one. Likely one of the reasons they aren’t used anymore
Saw an old beat-up 12i on the bay, looked like a nice little set-up, snatched 'er up. Here's the bay pic: new buddy.jpg
Both servos work! Receiver does too, but not well enough to use. Motor the same. Resistor is shot. Maybe I'll try that radio...
Call me old fashioned but how the hell is the driver supposed to 'see' outta this... :P

To me, the cab forward bodies make all modern buggy's look like those cheap RC toys that come ready assembled in a box with a clear plastic front. I don't mind low and sleek but cab forward.......pfffft......NO THANKS.
So I was cracking up to myself the other day while building what might actually be the most hideous RC10 ever seen from parts acquired over the last couple of months...everything has been drilled out, had glue splattered on it, rusted...

the guy must have been drunk while drilling the holes for the Stealth :?
I was hoping some of you could give me your suggestions on what ESC units I could consider buying, given my needs and my current equipment. I'll provide as much info as I can, and if you need anything more, please let me know.
I miss my old stash of cars. I cant remember if most of them went to Switzerland or Australia. This is the old hobby room....

Getting closer. It’s almost presentable. The rubber base molding was remnant from a local carpet company and the crown molding was found in the garage rafters so it was free :P Still trying to decide if I wrap it with a trim line around the center,...
Hey guys! For those of you not on Facebook, I figured I should fill you in. We put in an offer on a place and it was accepted so we are packing up and headed to Idaho. Factory Works will be up and down for a while as we try to get our house sold...
