This is project #2 I am currently working on:

- Nice Vintage Custom Works Dominator with white arms
- Hot Trick Stuff chassis, plate and wing

Below some pics.

All parts are still on their way. Will post updates when I start with the build.

Took the custom 1/5 scale out to the local park today to stretch its legs since this is only the 2nd ever run after completion. To say it exceeded my hopes for speed would be an understatement. It's actually kind of scary to see something 50lbs and nearly 3ft long going that fast. It's definitely go...

Haaa, I got lucky. Again. This has to be the best Kyosho score I've had since I bought a closed hobby store's dead stock. I'd bought a pretty rough Turbo Mid three or four weeks ago and uploaded a photo of the box to Facebook, before it sold. Someone replied "I've got one of those". "...

Think I'll sell the box, catalogue and the Optima wheels with the Dunlop tires. Anyone know what they're off. I think he might have had tape on them, or traction compund-the tread is a little sticky, but nothing some Goo Gone won't fix. As for the other Mid that slipped in, well. New Zealand is a ma...

.035 for idler gears. New idlers come with a simple Allen key. .050 for pinion and steering linkage. Likely can skip this one! 1/16 for chassis screws. This is the most valuable driver 5/64 only for stealth trans adjustment and you can use a 2mm in its place. Skip this one 3/32 for cap head screws. ...

I'm pretty sure that 0.9mm fits 0.035" and 1.3mm fits 0.050".

For 1/16 and 3/32, I recommend having good straight and ball drivers.

Losi had 48 pitch gears standard. You could get 64 pitch spur, which is finer. The junior 2 came with 32 pitch spur gear.

Another day another test for the 1/5 scale. Today is its first few jumps to see how it gets some air. Handles great, only one mishap due to my driving lol. I was worried the ramp wouldn't handle the weight but it seemed okay for now. Bigger air to come as I get more use to this big truck. MtuQ4MK2Nlc

Dadio has the skills to pay the bills....who agrees that it would be epic if he made a 4wd Lunchbox? I dont mean take a 4wd chassis and throw a Lunchbox body on it. I am talk'n 3d print parts to make a stock Lunchy chassis 4wd. I think scr8p needs to start a poll....if he has the nads :lol: Me and T...

IFMAR World Championships; 1/10 Off Road 2wd:

Associated RC10 - 2 ('85,'93)
Kyosho Ultima - 1 ('87)
Tamiya (any car) - 0

The sloppy gear box makes it fast.

So...... nearly 12 months later and here is a built up Intruder, complete with a spattering of rare alloy hop-up goodies. I have JamieB to thank for literally every aspect of this build. He really does know everything there is to know about these cars. It has a GPM finned motor mount and optional mo...

Rear belt guard thingie was something i made from a bodyshell off-cut based on an early 90's mag suggestion.

It’s a 4/40 x 5/8” socket head cap screw with a small pattern 4/40 nut. Wish you were close, they are fairly easy to source here. The nuts may be a challenge overseas. Usually they would have a 1/4” drive, these small pattern nuts have a 3/16 drive

The boy turned 5 a couple weeks back. Thought its time for his first hobby grade r/c, 1:10 scale ECX Amp. This should be a good starter. He's outgrown his toy grade 1:15 scale Grave Digger from Target.
