That looks sick. Really like the overall look of the chassis.

I hadn't taken the Grasshopper out in a while. Nor had I tried to charge the old hump pack I got with the G-Hopper a couple years ago. This 25 year old battery hasn't been charged in over 20 years, theres no way it can hold a charge. I hooked it up to my Novak Ionic-D to see what would happen. 40 mi...

Very familiar with the Bay.
Yeah I pretty much found everything I needed. Got a nice clean shocktower and some wheels/tires from greazy.
Thanks for the research though.

Nice find, that's a classic. Tamiya should re-re these.

It's mine now. Ordered a new body, wing, and gold screws. Cleaned the plastics up a little, will do a more detailed cleaning later, I wanna run this soon. I had some bearings to fit the bellcrank so they went in. When I removed the tranny, I noticed the chassis has an "A" stamped on it. I ...

65mm shocks for the front is what I used. Check my "Project Sand Blaster" post for a pic.

I had 2 old Blackfoot and Monster Beetle chassis' laying around, neither operational, both with broken parts. So I broke them down to see what was what, salvaged the good stuff and ordered some new parts for a new project. My main interest has been scale trucks for the last couple years but I'm a bi...

Finally got back around to messing with this one. I painted the bumper with a $3 can of Plastikote chrome and I am impressed. It makes the diamond plate look real. Will mount lights when paint cures. http://i538.photobucket.com/albums/ff342/Simpson75/DSC03060.jpg I decided it needed a driver so I'm ...

Also if you need a clod body hit me up man I have one just hangin around. Chevy not 4x4x4. Not neiw but not junk either. I think that if you acually race/play with them then any is worth having and messing with. Now as a shelf queen I couldnt tell you I dont build queens. Thanks for the offer man, ...

I just might do that. I'll PM you when the trade is finalized.

Thanks for the info. I have an old set of Duratrax shocks that are identical to the Kyosho ones. Had them for 15 years and never had a use for them. These will look right on here. Think I'll go ahead with the trade now.

Nice work. Like what you did with the chassis.

Trade for what? I would think that would clean up pretty well. You have Losi belcrank steering and Kyosho gold shocks. If you were to part those out alone, would be worth about $50-100 depending on how well they clean up. Trade for a new Clod body and some scale truck parts. Stuff In my spares I do...

I've been into RC since the 80's and have never owned an RC10. Always wanted one, never got one. Now I want to restore one or at least have a nice example to run around for that vintage look and feel. A friend of mine has this one up for trade. He said he used to race it dirt oval and it has some ol...

That 300zx body is too sweet especially on those wheels. But isn't that a 280zx? Looks like it to me.
