Now I just need to work out the wing and electronics.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!!!

Congrats to the red racer! Really interesting mix of nice entries this month.

Started making some progress on finishing the bodywork. The painting went ok. Now more sticker work to do, and then picking out or making a rear wing.

Do you know anyone with a tap and die set? Adding a 1/4-20 UNC thread wouldn't be too difficult. Very annoying though, yes. Someone else here had that happen with a Tamiya or Kyosho kit not long ago. I'm surprised this happens, but apparently it does. If AE doesn't get back to you quickly, I'm sure...

A nice group of motors showed up. I'm most excited about the Race Prep. The can and endbell are both unique. I have no other motors like this. 1000011130.jpg I'm not a RP expert, but they typically have "Racing Motors" on the label instead of the "Performance" for their other of...

It probably is a replacement, but it's not a new MCI replacement label. It's an odd motor. Bushings, not bearings but comes apart like a modified. The brush hoo...

They are 0.250" / 6.35 mm shafts. I could open up 5mm to work. Do you know if either is compatible with an RC10 dogbone end?

I have an RC10 Trackmaster transmission that needs a little work but has a lot of potential. However the big hurdle is it needs outdrive cups. Anyone found outdrive options that will work with it? Preferably something affordable. I am kinda cheap.

I really like the Build of the Month. There are always some new to me models that I never knew existed, some nicely done builds and restorations, and paint work I could never hope to match.

Only a few days of voting left!

Jeff hooked me up with some awesome front shock tower options for my Hyper Hornet. Super fast cutting and delivery! His USPS guy must have a soft spot for RC parts.
