Got my custom graphics from MCI for the rocket car (which is now called "The MAX Q")....plus some composite engines to test...trying to set a 1 sec et/mph record
The Slingshot decals are for the Slingshot I restored, want a more early 90's/late 80s paint scheme...plus I got a new Dominator body for it and side wing...stay tuned!

This followed me home. Dirty, but everything works.

I made a visit to my local hobby shop.. a mix of deliberate and random items. Took home all their Losi Ti-nitride shock shafts If you can guess what the 8x16 bearings are for, you’ll get a thumbs up!

The bearings are for your Coyote or another you're building.

I guess that was too easy! . You are correct! Side bearings for Coyote diffs..

I was just lucky really.

I got a -1/+2 sprocket and chain set for my GSXR, which means I really should be working on that and not reading about RC cars, but here I am.

Custom chassis for "The MAX Q" rocket car...
Thanks Jeff Malar (Factory Works)!

Sure looks weird with no holes

Man u forgot to drill them!...F....lol, it will have plenty of holes when I get done with it! (I ordered it bare, no holes)

Another really early eighties car, this time a Kyosho (/Graupner) Rallye sport Alpine A310...


The car is almost complete (missing rear springs) and the bodyshell and tires are in pretty good shape. I'm very happy with it. This is another project to be added to the existing pile of projects... I guess I won't start it that soon

Got this in anticipation for the new arrival

I love the coloring on these batteries. Does anyone know about what year these came out?

Thanks

They look like they came out in the 80's..... and have been out, loud and proud ever since

As soon as I saw those cells I thought of this motor.
