I’ve been wanting to try one of those aio motor/esc combos paired with a spectrum servo/rx aio just to make a Uber clean concours setup.
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

I put one in my 22 buggy for giggles. I need to find that servo/rx and swap that in as well We are on the same page...

Speaking of local hobby shops in one of the welcome threads, kinda went on a shopping spree at one of mine yesterday. Knocked a good amount off the grocery list.

Does that say that you paid $4 for that shock rebuild kit?
I paid $18 for the last one I bought (needed internal clips), and thought it was reasonable (comparatively speaking).
Indeed it does. But I actually paid less than that because old boy gave me a certain % off the whole shebang due to buying so much at once, and I'm a frequent familiar face. It's a very small bicycle/hobby shop, dude is planning on closing down shop soon due to retirement, so he's selling the joint. He has a boatload of AE, Losi and Traxxas parts.
Those are some excellent finds at your LHS. My LHS is pretty picked over, but I still find an occasional gem like 3/16 axles. Better than 50% of the AE parts they have left are RC18 stuff though. Last week all the AE stuff got moved to the 'aisle of closeouts' where the remaining Losi stuff has been for a while. This included 3 modern kits that have been waiting 3+ years for someone to purchase. No price reductions though.

This happened two weeks ago but I’ve been slacking. Looks like it was broke early on and they never found a replacement hub carrier. Custom works to the rescue. Just need a kingpin and she is golden.
This was purchased from my old local hobby shop which makes it even cooler.

I got one ! I got one ! This was the last on my list ! The Mugen Bulldog
Never really thought I'd find one under £400 but this one came up buy it now for £200 and I must have seen it first , my first thought was that the seller had cocked up and meant to start an auction at £200 , I fully expected a message explaining it was a mistake but no ! I'm as you can tell a very happy camper !
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.
Today I received a part for my Outlaw Ultima project that was graciously donated by Factory Works (a.k.a. GoMachV).
Thank you Jeff for answering my many dumb questions and for your commitment to the vintage RC hobby.
I've been digging, doing some research, tapping into the past. On my journey I've Found some very interesting early posts by a lot of currant members here in the archives. Very interesting stuff! I encourage newer members to do the same, as the old...

Nope. I'm not clicking on any links in this thread because I know one of them is going to be Farmer's pic. :P
None of them were about that picture.
But now one of them refers to it.
But seeing how often it is mentioned in this thread, it sure...
Thanks to Hoopty for the design, and Mrlexan for the production. They look great. And Thanks again Jay for the body and wing to put them on, can't wait to get 'em dirty. :D

The seller even included a free gift of 4 bearings. Wow, can't wait for my tires to show up too (same as what's in the pic here).
Got a bunch of stuff now, including the RC Channel rear metal kit, SRB alloy chassis and nose. Just need the RC4wd...

since there is no rc4wd local distributor here in our place, they didnt ship here without approval, wasted a lot of good stuff from them (we need to order in a long process)
I built this today, its just a start, it was hard to get a picture of the whole track, unless I stood really far away... anyways more to come soon. its gonna be a lot of fun and was not too hard to do for just a few hours work! i made the rails out...

Big jumps and take some pictures of cars in action :D Looks amazing, I'd love a garden!
I thought I would start a thread having to do with cool/offbeat music. So your feeling a bit low, your dog has a bad case of fleas, it's raining outside, you can't run that awesome RC10 build because your missing 1 stupid part, nothing cool arrived...

I just picked up a few sort of new ones from work, Pink Floyd and AC/DC. The latest releases from both of them on CD.
