I seen this ashtray at a gas station and I couldn't leave it there. The yellow lettering looked so vintage and reminded me of vintage RC tires that had yellow lettering on them.
When I got home I took it apart and started to think of how I can turn this into a nut and bolt cup. I think I will eventually find a magnetic cup to put in it or at least make one that fits good.
Weird....searching d5550 brings up a lot of interest in these tires. Also, here is an auction for a pair on associated rims.

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
A friend sent me these... He said it was a prototype car? Looks homemade to me but I don't know about many brands of other cars besides associated, does it looks like something pulled from another vehicle? check out the box, suppossedly came...

Does anybody of you have experience in making a tub chassis from aluminium? I would be interested in making one, but there are a lot of questions...
Which material is good?
What heat threading processes are needed...

Thanks a lot for all your comments and help. It sounds quit complicated. It is possible, for sure, but with a big effort, spending a lot of time testing different materials and treatments. In the next few months I don't have the time to do that, but...
I'm currently working on and testing homemade teflon piston shocks for the rere schumacher mk1 shock, and for the pro shocks.
A 2 holes version for high grip tracks, and a 3 holes version for loose conditions or bumpy tracks.
More to come soon.

Do you still make these?
I’ve been trying to get my hands on a set of 2 hole pistons for my Pro Cat Classic, but Muzzoom models have no stock… been that way for 6 months, like everything else on there!
I got this off ebay for £20 just expecting to break it for some parts, but its got a very strange belt transmission?!
And a mega thick homecut chassis. Oh and a front nose plate worthy of the light weight chassis thread! :lol:

First time i see this beltdrive getting the lightening treatment.
The belt tends to harden a bit into the shape of the pulley which gives a strange fell to it. But once you run it you can't tell.
I found it very nice and quiet for vintage racing....
