I imagine there will be ripples in the industry because Tower Hobbies was such a large seller, manufacturers will have to find multiple other smaller retailers that can sell at the volume Tower did.

I like what you did with that SRB chassis. Is the top of the transmission open?

The overtime was plentifull at work this year so I treated my Son to a new Axial scx10 CRC jeep. Bought myself a new Tamiya black Porsche 934 and a set of Tecnacraft wheels. http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg131/shodog1/Tamiya%20Porsche%20934%20Black/78307446-483D-40D8-9472-B8FB057ED5EA_zpsbjz8sc...

I have to echo lonestars sentiments. A lot of interesting things have been discussed. Made many friends from around the world. Went through a lot as a person in the last 11+ years I have been on the board. Looking my forward to what is to come.

I’m loving your runner except for those rear wheels. They look like Mickey Thompson drag slicks stuffed up under the body. Cut them down a bit and round the edges

one vehicle that hasn't been mentioned is the Wild Willy 2. the body isn't super durable but the chassis is bullet proof.

I have two other Thorp wings that are bent in some form or other. The size and shape could easily be...

I use a vintage Thorp aluminum wing on mine.

That looks really nice. what are you planning to do with the yellow body? repaint or keep as is?

They made them for Kyosho Ultima also

A liberal application of paint thinner will cause that silicone around the transmission to swell and flake off with little more than a scrubbing with a toothbrush

Nothing nice but super cool sponsorships hand written on the body

Looks like its had some use. This should be a satisfying thread watching you rebuild it.
