I really think my dobie is not all there

I wanted to share some pics of my Halsey edition, nice and low and 4WD. I wanted to get the body really and also show off the the Factory Works Ten 4.1 kit, I really like the mechanical look of the belt and pulley sticking through the body...kind of a supercharger sticking through the hood look. MCI...

Nice job packaging all those connections together in an uncomplicated looking setup. The easy looking setups take some work to become easy looking.

Got this little guy in with the plan to pull the rollcage off, and turn around and sell the roller. After getting it though, I think I have already have all the parts it needs, and the brown dye can go to black, and I think after very little work, it will be a runner. It probably won't be much of a ...

I lowered the body and exposed the kit on my Halsey

That Cobra is really starting to piss me off....

I played Pitfall on Atari at a friends house in the '80s. I didn't make it very far.

Yes, Trackmaster.

If they were more common and reasonably priced, all of my six gears would have them.

After destroying several UM-1, I searched for a substitute and (hopefully) found it in parts from a 3D plotter store (for just a few cents)... pictures:

Works smooth and quiet:

Belt module is GT2 (or 2GT, means 2mm per tooth). Calculated length 142mm (71tooth). Pinion
16tooth and maingear 50tooth (better take 48: only very small gap to the outdrives left). Smaller
pinion should be no problem, respectively with a slightly shorter belt.

There is also the option of using different spring cups.

B4's had various spring cups that seated the spring at different heights, all higher than the early cups that Fan RC copied.

Here is a comparison Pic. Both car have the same length shocks, same springs, and same tires. The short arms and Andy's arms mount the shock relatively the same.
The difference in spring seat height and preload is pretty evident.

I still need to cross drill the differential shafts... The printed plastic hole doesn't work good enough for the centering of the cross drilling. I discuss with Dadio , and he suggested to use a piece of rod drilled in the center section to guide the drill bit (super easy to do with a lathe, but I d...

Associated 6491 springs, Kysosho scw026 spring set I believe would work also.
