Oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy!!!! And Joel even signed my box!
Hopefully this doesn't develop into the need to also turn an original into a race replica. I already got rid of the Ultima that I had for that cancelled plan.

Kyosho wants too much for this one, for my cheapass anyway. Otherwise, I'd have to get one if it were in the $300 neighborhood. And I backed out of my intention to order the RC10CC, due to the fact AE hinted that 2024 has more to come. Even though I have an inkling I might regret it.
Most "pregnant" post I have seen in a while. What are you cutting from that?
A little rear camber link adapter plate. I'll probably burn thru the whole thing before I get it right. So, I'm really making ten rectangular CF key fobs I guess.

Was searching ESC's for the RC10B4 Factory Team and found this LRP SXX Stock Spec V2. Also picked up a Tekin Speed Star 412P for the Traxxas SRT. And some no clue super clean motor with a Trinity Ex Tech label and purple Epic end bell, but its cool looking and nice enough to justify $35. Seller stated, "Vintage Trinity 19T modified brushed motor brand new never used. Applied an original Trinity experimental team decal that is new and absolutely original not reproduction.". No idea how much truth to it.
Got some old skool 1:12 parts in the mail, to start making a recent acquisition look a little better.
NIP front and rear Yokomo / ASSociated foams, 12L rear wing (well, mostly just a flat bit of lexan!), a NIP front bumper, and some spur gears. All came together, for what I consider a good price.
Clear all the Vintage Bash trucks off the bench, and maybe start to strip down this 1:12....
Well, maybe
Osiris is the key.

There's a person that has been selling out of production Trinity NOS parts and has also had those motor decals. I got one with a pit stand and have compared to the Trinity motors. I think the decals are authentic.

All my remaining Traxxas gearbox and drive line part needs showed up. Well, other than a motor plate and the screws to put it together. For the motor plate I need to determine if I adapt one or hold out for finding a unicorn.

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...

thanks

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.
