Tamiya did re-release the Hotshot....

If you'd like some more comparisons..... This is Schumacher U1399Q, the 2-speed setup for the Daytona. Schumacher 2Speed.jpg Later came U1665X (offroad) / U1666Y (onroad), the 2-speed setup for the later mk.3 Nitro 10 range. U1666_Nitro10_TwoSpeed.jpg The first version is pretty much a copy of the P...

Yes, a pawl instead of shoes

OK, so i just got off the phone to Tim Lucas, the ex-Brimod test driver. It turns out that this was the actual car that he drove, covertly, in around '87 - '88. He told me that the Brimod guys entered it in secret into the Stafford round of the Radio Race Car Off-Road 4WD National Series (I am looki...

Just read this whole thread....real decent read!

I was a bit heartbroken when I had to sell my mint Hi-Lux build last year. Link here: https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=44190 Well, finding this shrink wrapped truck definitely makes up for it! It's pretty crazy that a 30 year old truck like this is still sealed in the box. This thin...

Not sure, but I remember brushless used in insane speed run cars in the mid 90's. brands like Aveox etc...

Not exactly sure what year.... the orange endbell with small brushes is thr original piece....but i switched to the aluminum one cause i thought it displayed better. The motor would be whatever year Big Jim Greenmeyer worked at Trinity....that orange endbell was his doing i believe

I installed some 2 stage foam inserts today from Crawler Inovations. Prolines come with nice memory foam inserts, but on a heavy truck (Mine weighs in at 8 lb.-6 oz), they are the equivilent of having 4 flat tires. With the stock foams , the truck is pretty much riding on the rim while running on a ...

Might not be a big deal, but I restored a 30+ year old Wild Willy. The only decal I have always loved, and thought is just a part of this particular car, is the "club" suit decal. I did not have high hopes, but was able to lift this 30 year old decal, and save it from turning to dust. I re...

Well look what arrived from overseas earlier than was projected. Since no where have I seen pictures of the contents of this Worlds conversion kit, here they are in case the Yokomo timeline is updated when mid 2000s is the new vintage.. .

Tamiya's rereleased their SRB diff with a new part number 54897. From the pictures it looks to be identical to the 84113 diff. At least the crazy prices these things fetch will stop....... for a while.

The old Pro-Line bumper is mounted together with a reinforcement for the front shock tower that my brother folded for me. I also did some threading, M3 for the shock tower and M4 for the bumper. I think this will improve the sturdiness of the bulkhead in case of a crash. Yokomo Racer 188.jpg Yokomo ...
