Whether these cars drove crappy or awesome, one thing is for sure; they are a piece of art that anyone would love to have in their vintage collection!

Egad, who makes a cartoon about 3 children that have been murdered! Can't say I've seen that one.

Don't worry, it wasn't one of yours!

Nice score indeed. I'm not the biggest vintage Tamiya guy either, but if I found that for a good deal, I'd have totally scooped it up, too!

I was going to post an example of my least favorite style of painting, but then I saw it on this forum, and didn't want to offend anyone.

Run them along the side, a la frog-style.

+1 on not touching it. I'd leave all the dirt and everything.

Traxxas, maybe?

Nice score! I had one of those when I was 10 yrs old or so. My friend had one of the little F1 cars, also by Kyosho. I think the scale for the F1 was a little bit bigger. He had a big unfinished basement that we used to make a track in. So much fun! The biggest pain in the butt were the e clips hold...

Here's me running the TB-02 during the first day of test-runs on Friday: [youtube]c4rv0pxpCRY[/youtube] I'm very happy with this chassis! I managed to get my fastest lap down a little over half a second. My Average lap time was much faster too, and much more consistent than last Sunday. The track wa...

Here's a look at the TB, ready to run tonight: Not the tidiest of wiring jobs, but when I have a bit more time (i.e. sometime this weekend) I'll sass it up, and hide all the wires. I didn't have time, as I wanted to get it up and running for tonight's impromptu open practice at the Depot track. tb02...

Here, we often run 5 minute quals, 6 minute mains. Sometimes 6 minute quals, too. Once in a while we run 7 minute mains, but not too often. I'd be happy with 8-10 minute mains in either on or offroad. (time permitting. no one wants a weekday club race ending at 1 in the morning!) However, a couple o...

I think I was successful converting over to 64 pitch gears last night. (I won't actually know until I get it onto the track tomorrow) Right now as it stands, I'm at a 4.3 FDR. A little lower than the 4.0 maximum, but I thought I'd start here, to make sure I don't run too hot. Here are all the detail...

Well, I bought all the parts, and after getting it put back together, it seems like it may work. If my math was correct, I should be at a 4.0 FDR. I put in a 64 pitch spur using the adapter on the M tree. (thanks, jwscab!)
I'll post pics and stuff later.
