Absolutely beautiful, Dadio!!!
...God Save The Queen playing in my head as I viewed the pics - couldn't help it.

Oh my GOSH! You MONSTER! You butchered Great Britain's flag!!
Just kidding, looks amazing!
Too good to race, I'd say!

That's an awesome paint job, Dadio...gotta love those straight, clean lines. I bet that wasn't easy! Well done.

Been a while since updates, but I finally got some body work done https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49140401473_0e16aa75f8_k.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49140894246_4857afaa57_k.jpg Going for a real old school Baja look with this one. Just waiting on some number stickers from MCI so as...

from that angle in the last shot it reminds me of the fibre glass chassis I had on my hot shot , obviously nothing like it but from that angle it does remind me .

I thought exactly the same thing



Edit: I didn't mean your Hotshot, I meant a Hotshot that I had

Well having just checked it turns out that small alloy case behind the motor actually houses a pair of meshed 12tooth pinion gears. Clever way of making the drivetrain relatively easy to refresh i suppose. There is a third pinion gear mating to the diff itself, and the whole set-up spins very very f...

it's a typically used associated connector from that time period. I think there was a thread on here recently to discuss it. GomachV I think had the right part number or family part number. It is a molex connector and uses the same crimped pins and sockets. ah, here is the thread: https://www.rc10ta...

Yes, it is certainly something a little special. I have never seen anything quite like it before. The small details on it are quite amazing. I have added these last few pictures on the RC10talk Fb page, so i will add them here too. I have stripped and rebuilt the entire car now, and am currently jus...

This is a Clod I started building in the fall of 2018. I had been out of RC for about 20 yrs and decided to jump back in about a year & half ago with a tube chassis clod again. This one has taken a back burner a few times due to other projects. Actually finished up my 2nd Clod since getting back...

I´ll give it a thought, Doug

Right now I´m on Dadio´s side, I´ll just say that I was inspired by the Dyna Scorpion....3,5 decades too late

Yeah yeah - almost stock, but at least Todd will able to see it

Did a little rear bumper work. I never liked the stock one. Too wide and sat too low. I trimmed down the stock bumper and made some small plates to attach the bumper mounts on top of the frame rails. The results won't win a concours show, but it is very effective at protecting the rear of the body w...

That is how HPI designed their two speed, and it works great so long as the car NEVER rolls backwards- under power or not. If you do it will strip the spurs or tear up the oneway as the oneways would be pitted against each other. Its hard to tell in the pic but the "clutch bell" contains t...
