Man, I need to pic your brain a bit more! Those results are awesome.

It's funny you mention that. I saw that the other day on a car somewhere (ebay or FB). I don't ever recall seeing it being done back in the day I was racing RC10s... but who knows.

I raced again this Sunday... Yeah, the GT3C worked well for me. Of course other than model memory w/ Trim and endpoint adjustments I haven't used all the other settings. Weight is definitely part of it for me anyways... no need for a next strap with the modern radios.

I bought a simple FlySky GT-3C radio for like $50. It was my first "modern" wireless radio and I didn't want to go too crazy. Coming from using my Airtronics 3PS and M8, the radio seemed to have a lot of configuration options. I use it with my RC10, B6D and SC10.2. Raced both the B6D and S...

Awesome! There's not enough on-road projects.

Definitely a nice looking ride.

Wow. Impressive. If you machine any cool aluminum bits, I'd love to anodize them.

That's my boat... 41 and my girl turns 3 this summer. Definite "oops", but wouldn't change a thing. I wouldn't mind another, but I think I'll have to settle on a dog... Lol

Rattle can job of my old school racing colors. kinda like the bright color contrast...

Definitely looking good! Giving me some ideas for one of my future projects.

For starters... I think you need to add some sort of dimensions there.

I have a Xerun 17.5 combo to use. Yeah, I'd have to do something if I wanted to "black" the wires. I may use some black wire-wrap instead for now. When I wire some of my stuff, I have some heavy duty 12g marine wire that I've liked so far. I also found some high quality wire yesterday from...

So I got the White World's car wheels in... Took to the dye again and came out nice and black. DyedWheels.JPG They were a little too shiny for my liking and showed the imperfections. I took some 1500 grit sand paper and scuffed them up for a matte finish. Mounted them up and I'm liking the look so f...

I tossed a small piece of white kydex in when I was dying my wheels black. It worked. Didn't see signs of any deformation, but it was a very small piece sitting in the bottom of the basket.

Looking good.

Another trick I saw was someone who tapped the wing tubes, then took a thin/long flat piece of fiberglass and mounted body mounts to that and screwed it into the wing tubes.
