One piece as well!

Some parts arriving. More this weekend....
What did I do? Now tracking down TRX-1 parts.
I will rebuild the ones I regret selling.

Serpent has M3 4.5mm pivot balls. But they are open top with 2mm hex.... Screenshot_20230131_162110_Samsung Internet.jpg Nice! You think that the inner pivots are 4.5 rather than 5.8? Yokomo aint my "ball park" so I find it hard identifying the different sizes/models of hardware. Trying t...

About those hard anodized shock caps on the -89 Stealth.. It's not going to happen for my part so I'll go for the next best thing. Enamel paint! With that said I'm partially color blind so don't ask me for the color blending. I've been at it for the past week :twisted: but I have used the following:...

Hello my friends on the best RC forum on the planet. It's been a while. I just published these Quadra-symmetric arms on Printables.com for everyone to print with their own 3d-printers. You don't even need to log in to Printables.com to be able to download my CAD files. If you do log in - would be ni...

Body trim

So I went to town a bit today. What a blast getting to this point. Really reminded me of when I last built one in 94. I have a lot to do yet. Need to align the wheels, decide on the electronics, and then recondition them. I've gathered a nice little Novak collection, but I'm still holding out for a ...

A little side project. I’ve had this in a drawer for a while and decided to get it cleaned. It’s quite impressive what a thorough clean can result in. Boiling water. Simple green. Toothbrush and pipe cleaners. Brass brush on the Dremel and Birschwood Casey Super Blue for the hardware. No hydro perox...

Sorry if this is a dumb question but where is the list you referred to that Curtis published of potential stealth racers? I didn't understand if that was something he posted around the time of the races or something more current he posted here in the forum? I sent Rick Hohwart a message on FB yeste...

Body mounted

Can you show how the back of the body is cut out for the rear mount thanks Hi Hugger19 Masami cut his body just aft of the rear shock tower as he didn't use the rear budy post. He used velcro on the sides. The pictures of Masami Hirosakas car in the Associated book don't do justice as the car has b...

Okay.. this shows what color scheme I’m going for..
NOTE! Do not mix Faskolor and Tamiya’s PS rattle can paint. Faskolor do not like it at all!
I got my work cut out trying to fix the body.

The final pieces of the puzzle.

The B3 ran very well in a rear motor class (outdoor carpet). My car is green one (back flipped at the start )

Got the new Jconcepts Detonator Worlds body trimmed up and mounted. Still have to install the electrics and cut out some clear chassis tape for the bottom. Oh, and make a bumper.
