Another coat of chrome pen, it's getting smoother.



Going to try the Rustoleum Chrome next. Have some black wheels I want to try to chrome also.

Is there a modern 1:12 car that you like these days? Cue the obligatory Schumacher reference from me :D There is the current 1/12 World Champion Schumacher Eclipse 5: https://www.racing-cars.com/rc-models-2/cars/cars-2wd-4wd=2wd/eclipse-5-1-12th-circuit-kit-k203?returnurl=%2frc-models-2%2fcars%2fca...

Though it was overkill for my cars and my ability, I ran the 1985 ESC-190 Pro (P) black sticker, golden letters, 6 + 2 FET. Bought it as soon as I could afford it. Tekin ESC190.JPG It was the only ESC I ran for probably 10 years and it still runs just like new. Still in my Delta Spyder. Chuck Thank...

Thats what I took the thread for. Perhaps simply "What are you currently waiting for" would a better subject title?? As hard as you've been searching for the Fuchs I can understand your excitement. Congrats by the way ! Nothing wrong with this thread being about parts people are more exci...

I wonder if they would have used their own #6192 chrome knockoffs https://www.rc10talk.com/download/file.php?id=173751&t=1 It's hard to tell with those in the bag still, but are the AE chrome knock offs, completely smooth, or do they have a rough texture with the chrome over it? Here's the resu...

The paint was a little soft still, might have waited another day to let the primer and top coat completely dry, but at least I'm not leaving fingerprints in the paint today. https://i.imgur.com/3w7i8Zb.jpg https://i.imgur.com/LJYM18j.jpg https://i.imgur.com/nYmF9mK.jpg Waiting for front shock pins a...

If the mods need to close this, I'll understand. I haven't received anything yet in the post, I'm anxiously awaiting parts, and that wait will be at least another week. If no one else can relate to that feeling, or appreciate what's on the way, I'll understand why it's so quiet in here. Two more thi...

I haven't got anything in the Post, I'm currently waiting on these parts... That's the reason I made a separate thread.

I have two things in the mail, that will take a while to get here. The first is a decal sheet with custom colors from MCI, for a Corvette project I'm working on. The second, I looked every day for a set of these, for months, placed WTB ads, they were nowhere to be found. Spotted these by accident la...

I like your choice of motor. I kept 2 or 3 in my rotation of motors from mid 80's thru mid 90's. I had better luck with the earlier 1985 version over the later version of the silver labeled 1987 Monster Horsepower stock motors. Still have those motors today. Chuck What's your favorite ESC, for the ...

https://i.imgur.com/dJXAzwZ.jpg Just need the 4-40 set screws to get the diff lock going, may have to order some. These are sealed bearings so they won't do a 15 second spin, $32 turned out to be the deciding factor on this :D. I'll still do the rest of the guide steps, no hurry on this one though....

Obligatory at this point :D. O4irXQhgMqg https://i.imgur.com/q46qsbc.jpg Will get this going soon. The nose braces are aluminum so I can't blue them, tried aluminum black on the nose braces and it was too fragile and sooty, scratched off too easily. Will paint the nose braces, to see how that works....

Here's the reason in the movie that there were two different license plate numbers, intentionally seen. yEBHVJAL_E0 I was unable to find that video clip anywhere else, so I made that one. This scene comes before the big chase scene. The story also goes, that the movie crew ran over the main vette, a...

Finished the 40th chassis today. By building the 40th side by side with TDP, I can spot the parts I'm missing more easily, as the 40th is a complete kit. https://i.imgur.com/BfW5JMp.jpg Missing the lower front shock pins for TDP and the set screws, asc6224 on the way. Think those are the very last m...
