Didn't get the joke?

I'm using vice's car as the inspiration for my car as I begin the build up, I was referring to the 1984 song "You're the Inspiration" by the band Chicago, written by Peter Cetera and Dave Foster?????

nothing.....

Dang! :lol: 8)

got it.

And if you plan to cut the side like you are talking about don't go to low. I would leave it a bit taller than mine for rigidness reasons.

Really, you are listening to Chicago? :shock: :? Just kidding

The e-z lock wheel you are looking at is perfect. Just take your time making several passes. I fogot to mention if you did not have a DA sander, a file will work just fine as well. Mig will definately get you going in the right step. I studied the same car when I built my cars. Good luck with the build, I will be checking in occasionally.

im not certain, but i think rpm still makes the front a arms for the rc10. this should indicate that if you ever break one, you get a replacement for free from rpm ? am i right guys ? if not my bad :oops:

So I need some help, when I was young my cousin gave me his RC lot and it included a motor that I ran to bejesus out of. It had a sticker on it and it was the small wimpy puny little motor

here's a pic, (on the right)

My question is, does anyone know what motor it is, if you have one, you wanna sell it?

TOTALLY Random bump of the day....

OK, so I've been shelving, and working, and shelving my projects for about 3 years now.

I'm still working on a graphite runner for my brother in law and I'm having battery issues.

I'm putting a lipo in his car but I can't find any that fit the rear bulkhead, most if not all lipos these days are 25mm tall but the opening to the rear bulkhead is about 23mm max

So my question is what Lipo's, and straps are being used to fit in these vehicles?

I'll take some more pics in a little bit, I cant find the camera charger

I think I have several of those motors Adam. I will give you one if you want?

The guy that did those, his name is Lee Morrison. He is out of Indiana. Don't know if he is still around, but he had a little motor lab in the back of a hobby shop. Anyway, Wimpy motors was the name of the motors, and he also did batteries called GonZo Batteries. They also came in Modified winds.

DUUUDE! Chicago? Really? :)
