This is the driver figure fitted featuring my own head 3d scanned and merged with a figure designed by miniguy71 on Thingiverse .

I'm sad to say I really am a 50 year old bald fat guy , the skin tones are wrong and although I did add my horse shoe of hair its very faint and you can't see it otherwise its recognisably me :( my painting of small things lacks a lot of skill , a lifetime at the spanners and workshop power tools ha...

Marui Hunter?

Nice, I'll look forward to your resto. After restoring my brother's Galaxy and currently working on a Shogun, the Marui cars indeed each all had major design flaws and bad weak links, they were all quite fragile. They were really good runners though, until they inevitably broke.

A subtle, yet obvious hint!!! Totally missed that one.

The build is coming along nice, looks good!

Right you are! Still, a different direction...good thing they backtracked.

Here is another project underway. I think this is an old Hyper drive H10. I am not sure but I think it was their first 10th scale pan car. A fairly nice car looking past the goofy tires stuck on the rims. Guess they wanted an off roader. It has a real nice Tekin G12c III, Hitec 645MG servo and B&...

Rear suspension with tires and dog bones. Need 2 1.4mm nuts to finish this part.

I love the Challenger 260 radio. It was the best I could afford bitd. I have several now that I still use in a few vintage runners, and now that everyone else uses 2.4, I rarely get any interference. They really lack many of the electronic adjustments that we're accustomed to now, though. Lovin' the...

Great to see this finished and safely on its shelf ! How did you solve the broken mono shock mount in the end ?

:) Really appreciate all of the love and replies on the 834b! It was pretty special back in the day as my parents upgraded me from a Super Champ (I still have and is in rough shape) to the Yokomo. I raced a little bit back in the 80’s and did fair. Then I started upgrading parts. Then...my friends a...

I still run mine from time to time but then I have three (how did that happen?), one very stock , one retro moded and a third that i cloned with CAD and 3d printed so I could have one I could drive without regret .

After a lot of painstaking black paint removal, most of it overspray on the outside of the body that was obvious when looking at it over a white piece of paper, it's ready to be repainted. I'm lucky to be able to salvage this original body, even with a few cracks and flaws, and not have to buy a rep...

In the process of mating together an early Blue Eagle with the Bullet, i have almost everything i need except for a transmission halves.

First pics as I start my LXT build... JRXT was actually my first kit and after a couple weeks assembling I finally made it to the track for the first time and everyone was racing their new LXTs!! I was so frustrated but kept racing my JRXT while saving lunch money to eventually buy an LXT. Unfortuna...
