I've mentioned this a couple times in other threads but, my brother had been storing my childhood Blackfoot for the last 20 years or so and I just found out he had it about a year ago. Got it back from him last Thanksgiving and went over it to figure out what it needed and a significant portion of m...

If you want a clear matte exterior finish that won't chip... https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Qqd1YwOLL._AC_SY879_.jpg Plasti Dip, Rust Oleum, Et al. make an unending rainbow of rubberized "peelable" paints. It's thicker/heavier than enamel or acrylic but you can spray it inside the b...

I found a new to me shop that’s been there for 14 years. So I had to patronize it. My son deserves a new body for his slash. G-dang those chassis are tough. I also picked up a 78 chevy body for my new sc10 build, deans connectors are so expensive now, and some body posts for the c10. https://i.post...

The Panda Danny Thompson electric stadium truck, released in 1989, was manufactured by Vericom and imported from Tiawan by Global Hobby Distributors.

A central spot to share pictures of cars, parts, or anything RC related. They don't need to be your own photos.

I'll start with a few.

RC in his natural habitat

The plan coming together

This ad always had me envision of my friend's RC10

This was my first actual RC car. It was actually pretty quick.

Dropped a bitchin' motor in. 87/17 combo on a SWB chassis. Ready to rip it on an ultra short track (behind the parts wall, thru the secret door of the LHS, on a Friday night in 1992). Steering would be tough though.

Dropped another bitchin' motor in. Different project.
