Looks pretty nice! Do you have any way to make those pics bigger? Wouldn't mind seeing some upclose views. I was always a fan of the Worlds.

There's an indoor dirt track in York Maine called "Maximus" that's having a Ford Powerstroke Diesel sponsored trophy race next Sunday, the 26th. I'll be there with my Team Car if the RC demi-gods are smiling on me, and I believe another guy there has been racing his graphite Team Car latel...

The B4 gear cover does fit the old stealth. One screw hole lines up perfectly, and the other would need to be drilled out. Personally, I find that just one screw is plenty for holding it on, and I don't drill it out. I use a little nylon washer from the hardware store to clamp it on more firmly with...

(Hopefully) end of story. The diff got pretty gritty again. I think I was still running it too loose. I finally bit the bullet and bought an entirely new diff. New gear, new AE carbide balls, new thrust balls/washers, new drive rings. Could've bought some ceramic balls for similar money, but I bough...

There's plenty of threads on here about putting B4 wheels onto your buggy. You'll need to switch out your axles and hubs I believe. You can try searching 'B4 wheels' under 'vintage forums.' JC Racing products also makes 2.2" wheels that fit the older 1/4" axles. RPM makes arms for the vint...

Hi guys, I apologize if this is the wrong venue, but I happened to get an email from John, the JC Racing guy who makes the 1/4" 2.2 wheels, and he wanted to let me know he's moving away from eBay soon. I guess he set up paypal directly through the website. The website's easy to find if you goog...

You're right it is pretty hard to find just about anything but brushes and bearing for old motors. Someone could steam off some old labels, touch 'em up in Photoshop and reprint them. There's no reason you couldn't do those yourself if you've got a half-decent printer. I'm pretty sure those were jus...

You mean you guys have current race vehicles?

your worlds car has dogbones? Perhaps you mean that the dogbone end of your CVD shaft broke? They tell me these fit the old 1/4" axle CVDs found on Team and Worlds cars. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXAV59&P=7 I don't know this from personal experience, however.

I'm certainly not one of those guys!

Good job on the first RC for your son! My daughter is only 3 months old, but I hope to help her build one in 10 years or so (if they still make kits... )...

Good luck I have been hunting on ebay for a stealth to bring mine out to brushless. I noticed it is like a gold rush trying to get these cars If you can't find a nice stealth on eBay, RPM still makes a gear box that converts a stealth to 2.65 ratio. Includes case, and a top shaft. I believe tower s...

Interesting...

This thread got me wondering. I guess the new B4.1 Worlds has a +8mm chassis. Anyone know if they decided to add it on to the front or the rear? Curious how AE's reasoning on the new buggies compares to what you guys are discussing on this thread.

Well they're usually pretty cheap, I might just order a B2 one and see how it fits. If I do I'll post that here.
