After a lot of research I finally settled on and replaced the foam on the steering wheel of my old Futaba Magnum Sr. (FP-T3PG). Happy with the results and since I didn't find a lot of in depth how to for this online, I thought I'd make a post to help anybody out in the future. Link to the foam I use...

That is really beautiful. :) There was an Aurora Borealis here two nights ago. It was my first time seeing that in person. I also saw something odd moving across the sky during it. Super high up barely discernible to the naked eye, it looked like a star was slowly moving across the sky in a straight...

Allow me to present my PB Mini Mustang, as raced in the recently-completed Vintage Bash V3 down here at the Knox offroad track, Melbourne Australia. No shelf queen here!

Picked up this very nice vintage race modded jrx pro se with rpm parts.

Also how traces from the moulds leaves marks on plastic parts, wear over time or rebuilt moulds for updated parts. So...

Thanks for checking in; my mind is on the electronics as well! :D I have plans to use a 19.5T 240S Le Mans w/240S ESC. I see the kit instructions calls out a 15.5T or 13.5T Le Mans motors. I do have the 51T BL spur gear installed. The battery door and small plastic parts that latch it into the top d...

Thanks! The looks of the car turned out the way I wanted 8) I’ve always thought it looks a bit strange with the 2.2 on the old cars, but it really makes life a lot easier on the track. Good to have an original set of wheels and some worn and very hard full spikes to look at on the shelf. Then I get ...

Assembled my Kyosho Optima Mid LWB conversion

Enjoy the build.
