Like the subject says, Gold Pan #3 finally made it in yesterday and other than bein dirty, its in really good shape and mostly complete! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/66sprint6/66sprint6s%20album%202/2012-10-31_23-26-33_600.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/66sprint6/66sprint6s%20a...

Yeah I already had 2 goldpans on the way and saw this one CHEAP so I figured, why not...could always use a parts car right? Unfortunately, I cant bring myself to just let the thing lay around so thats why Im thinkin its WOIN time...or even make this one into my basher buggy. As soon as the 3rd one s...

I too think it is an awesome idea and ALMOST did it with the one I tore down, just so I could go thru and have the joy of building it as if it were brand new! I look forward to seein more updates when they happen!

The guy sellin this one WAS sellin 2 at the same time, one with a broken arm (one I got) and the other one was complete but I was too slow to get it from him lol Wonder if you did indeed get the twin LOL

Matt

Thanks for the info guys. I've got most of the metal parts in a bowl of pbblaster and I'll see what's salvageable tomorrow. Gonna look at ordering all the parts needed to make this thing a reliable, fun buggy again. I also wanna see if this motor has any life left in it. Love the old school speed co...

I'll see if I can find some...it made me laugh when it came off but I was thankful it was such an easy fix! I thought Ide broken the knuckle off until I got closer.

GoldPan #2 just came in...and, like I was suprised how clean and well oiled the other one was when it showed up, Im equally surprised at how tired, broken and dirty this one is. I didnt pay much for it and knew the arm was broken, so Im not worried. Regardless, Im thinkin this will be the perfect do...

Lookin awesome so far! Bulding my first RC10 as we speak and love lookin thru all the vintage builds and OIN builds for inspiration. Keep it up!

Its def. a new adventure for me, but I also have a scaler runnin a 10.5 brushless and another runnin a 7.5 turn but the way they are geared keeps em from bein very quick up top, but when you hit the throttle down low they scream lol. The one with a 7.5 is lowered and set up to handle a little better...

Hmmm...so the issue with the balls not spinning is the width of the spur gear surrounding the ball, not the fact that its too tight and the balls wont spin huh? I might have to check out RJSpeed! In the mean time Im still runnin the spur that came with it. Cant get the ESC to reverse so Ive swapped ...

Got her runnin today after a quick trip to the LHS for some parts. Im gonna swap a 48p Robinson racing spur from one of my SCX10s, just gotta figure out how to make the balls spin a little free-er. Coupld guys at the LHS really liked the car and asked if they could get it off me. I laughed and said ...

I strip lexan bodies all the time for my Scale Crawlers, brake fluid is the best and only every now and then does it destroy what Im workin on and thats usually if I soak it rather than just pour it on and wipe it all over. With these bodies bein so cheap I might still try it just cause I enjoy it b...

Right now Ive got the trans apart, not because it wasnt already in great shape but because I wanna learn how this thing works and I also am thinkin bout stripping the body and painting it myself. The wing is pretty much garbage but the body is in great shape!
Matt

Yep! Two more on the way, altho they are not goin to be in the best of shape but thats ok, this one literally appears to need NOTHING so the others can take all my $$$
