I won best RC at a local car show with my shelfer Hornet!
I’ve been going through some custom R/C graphics I did in the past…
That reminds me, I made a replica of the Losi LXT graphic used in the manual so it could be used on a decal and added it to MCI's catalog.

I've always loved that logo. Thanks for sending to MCI. I will be getting some.

Not a problem, I haven't even ordered mine yet as I'm waiting to see what I need for the BK replica before I place another order at MCI. It's only in the custom decal section, you have to search for "LXT"

Looked in the shop, thought about cleaning up the cars from last weekends run....but realized I cleaned them up before I left and the next vintage race/meetup is only a couple weeks away. They'd probably collect more dust on the shelf if I took them out now anyway.

Did some cutting and paint on the optima mid worlds.
Got the paint pretty damn close.
Before you ask, no i don't have a formula i just kept adding white to Mission MMRC-011 RC Aqua till it looked right.
Cutting the body to work with the Exodesign chassis was fun. I cut it before paint so it was easier to figure out.

Stickered up and final trimmed and mounted the body and wing. Wing is not perfect, really hard to get paint on the inside area of the sides but it's acceptable for a runner.

I had an itch to try this esc and finally did. Seems fine, the solder tabs needed more heat.

The Zerda ran at Montluçon few weeks ago. But it was with the main belt longer than what was required, with adjustment of the tightener rollers diameter to make it fit.
The proper belt arrived the day before Montluçon, and I had no chance to change it before the event or during the event.
I decided to do it today...
I can't imagine doing this on the field...
Anyway, it's almost done now...

Made gigantic setup changes to my sons B6.4D to run a 21.5 class this coming weekend, massively increased the chassis flex via plastic side rails, removed the waterfall brace, plastic front and rear arms. Then softened up.the front and rear with 2.0mm 1.8 x 2 pistons, 27.5 wt oil, and 3.6# springs, plus HT +1 steering arms. Rear is 2.5mm 1.6 x 3 pistons, 25 wt, and 1.9 springs, 18mm ride height for both. S15 body (neutral) short chord 6.5" wing, slipper eliminator, 72/34 for a 5.50 FDR
Should rotate like the rear is on ice, I've only ever run 21.5 with vintage....should be fun

Worked on rebuilding another old Tamiya tourer, this time a TL01...
Added it to the group of Tamiya touring cars recently finished (or very close to finished)..... family photo:
Left to right: TT01, TB01, TB01, TL01, TL01. The silver car belongs to my nephew, I'm just giving it a freshen up

It should drive nice and grip up like a banshee, unless it' ends up too soft.

Finally brought the RC10T that's been sitting in a heap back from the dead. Still not 100% done with it but I'm setting it up for Turf racing with a buddy that's also running a brushed RC10T. She sits LOW at about 20mm right now. Most of the stuff is parts bin stuff I had laying around but the truck for the most part is mostly stock, aside from me countersinking the chassis and the battery cup being recentered by the previous owner. Plastic all cleaned up pretty well from being caked with dirt since the mid 90s.

How do you clean up the white plastics so well?
