I have already a Fantom, but my son is actually taking it more and more when there is a vintage event and the possiblity to drive it on the track. And since it is probably my favorite onroad racer, I had to solve this... Here comes the 60th anniversary EXT gold version. I have it sitting under my de...

I modified the bumper to suit the EXT bodyshell (not the very last version I did before printing it) https://i.imgur.com/qOyMB35.jpeg I printed it in TPU and here is the result... It fits perfectly under the bodyshell and will provide added protection... I will just have to apply chrome inside the l...

I'm not decided yet on the paint, only thing I'm sure of, it won't be box art...

RC10T time! I never had this when I was younger, so it was fun to build. The toughest part was masking off the roll bar parts on the back for painting.

Their team drivers had to run RC10s in 2WD obviously, but were free to run any 4WD. A lot of them chose Yokomo. Yokomo was in basically the same situation only rev...

I picked this Mr. H up from Mike Ebert several years ago. Hand tuned by Mike Reedy for one of his indoor races.

My Fantom ran on Sunday. At some point I handed my remote to one of the guys of the club to take a quick video... There was another Fantom (non EXT) on the track at the same time...

bA82-PhCNxM Cool interview. I know the industry has moved on, and tracks as in the video are harder to maintain, but THAT is what I call off road. The tracks today are on road tracks with INSANE jumps. I know the speeds today would never be possible on tracks like that, but that’s my opinion. Sorry...

Doorbell rings and Japanese delivery man with a big box arrives. I have no idea what it is...until I see the G Force envelope within. The long awaited MX-4 Forever by Papa and Masami arrived early!
