Figured I would get this thread started. I'm still gathering parts so it will be some time before any "real" progress happens. But first, I just want to thank Jake and Niki for all of the time and effort they have put into this deal. It's gonna be cool to have it sitting up on the shelf one day.....in 2019.
So here we go, parts spread out on the workbench.
This one is a little bit different though.....
And a couple of the parts set aside for it so far...

I hear ya on that one. I've been putting my build off until I get most of my parts acquired. Everything is sitting in a box for now. The battle for the correct parts for these builds is tough and pricey.
So with scr8p's slow pace, he may just do fine as parts turn up! Funny, I have seen great eBay bidding wars for certain items lately! I know because I was one of the bidders!
My wild guess is that he is not doing Masami's replica. Since Slotcarrod is already doing Lett replica and Jason already is doing one Cull replica I hope we will see something different maybe Vehlow, Furutani, Drescher, Kloeber or Kinwald replica.
Not much to update, but I did get a nip pair of the roar wheels. Unfortunately, I noticed a couple weeks ago that my tr-32 tires are for the 30 series wheels. So I'll be looking for the correct ones.
I've been doing this a long time, and surprisingly, this is my first B2. Did a little trading with Eddie and got this one to mess around with. There's a good chance this may become my VONATS car for this year, but we'll see.

I will dig through my stuff and see if there is anything you might want. :mrgreen:
I know... if you've seen one you've seen them all. :wink:
I didn't stray too much from the manual. I did put a stack of spacers in the rear shocks, and I should have gone a little more. Installed bearings. I also drilled the lower set of shock...

Sweet! We should see it mounted around 2014 :mrgreen: :lol:
That's only a couple of months away...... wow, what pressure!!!!!

it seemed to be in pretty nice shape. so i got it all torn down, and cleaned up all of the parts in preparation of it's scr8pification (that could be a real word :lol:...
I had plans to build up another B1.5 for next year's race. But A-main Hobbies was blowing out Worlds kits last week, and with the coupon codes on top of it, I could not pass up buying one. It'll be so much cheaper for me in the long run. So I got...

Ahh, I do that all the time... waste money on stuff that I thought would work and it doesn't or it's a part that I already have!
I hadn't planned on showing this until I had a complete roller....but since it's slow....
I decided to build this one as a what-if car. If they chose the stealth car platform and made it available, there would have likely been a champ and a team...
The parts bin was screaming at me....build me....build me. Even though I’ve sold almost all my collection, I knew I’d somehow regret it if I didn’t assemble the Nix91 car given all the parts I had amassed over the past couple of years.
Let’s just...

Your only likely way to save them now that they're already yellow is paint. If you use a good quality vinyl/plastic paint and put it on thin enough, it should end up looking OK. I use SEM paints for plastics and I've been very happy with the...
Ok guys I am new here. I have been in R/C since I was 11 years old and I am 43 now. My first car was a Radio Shack Golden Arrow. I could not afford a RC10. Many grass cuttings later I had a Clod Buster. The rest is history. :lol:
So I have started...

to build a masami replica is going to take a unique set of very hard to find parts, if you want to build it authentically.
off the cuff, you need:
TH-1 yokomo wheel adapters
yokomo wheels
copper yokomo springs
yokomo white rod ends
yokomo white...
