On reassembly of the chassis I used a touch of loctite on the front screws and the next day the chassis was shattered wherever the loctite touched. Oh well I learned the hard way that my hardcore nitro days dont always carry over to the electrics. from replacing the chassis with a nip one, I went down the line and replaced alot of the Foot witn NIP stuff. I would love the complete Thorp hopups for the Foot! Well heres a few of my race rigs up close and some of the vintage stuff.
Yeah I learned that the hard way too! Wierd how threadlock completely causes tamiya plastic to crumble

just a few years ago i built an old original frog that was nip. the darn threadlock had dried and almost eaten its way thought the tube. i squeezed it and my finger broke right through it...
that smell of tamiya threadlock reminds me so much of being a kid its crazy.

ANOTHER PATHFINDER!!!!!!!!
Looks similar to mine (red).
I used to really dig that Kyosho Triumph buggy when it came out, but I have always been an AE guy from the beginning.
I really need to shoot my entire collection sometime. Guess it means putting kits back together.

Nice RC10 T's
Those are some rare kits! Do they have the narrow front tires?

Thanks! Unfortunately I dont have a RC10T kit with the skinny and wide wheels. Ive been looking for one though, because they are super rare as they stopped including the skinnys shortly after the start of the production run. I know Steve Pond from RCCA has a 10T skinny wheel kit, but it may be some time before I locate another one that someone is willing to part with.

Thought Ide throw up my only Gold Tub I have other than the NIB kit. I need to get a body for this girl sometime soon. Dont pay attension to the crappy picture quality. Im in need of a new camera, and a place to take good pictures.
