I'm really getting into these road cars. During my 20 year hiatus from the RC hobby, I've completely missed the touring car era so I'm trying to make up for lost time. :D I have at least four more on-road builds in the works at the moment: a custom RC10-based Greenwood Vette, a Mustang GT4 from Tam...

Of course

Thanks!!!

Édit: are you sure?!

Not true confirmation as I didn't build it new but I just took these off my XX buggy.

Well, I guess that makes three of us. :oops: I looked at that Lancia a very long time before I realized it was a model. :D That T/A looks amazing as well; I'd like to see more of that car. Anyway, there's one final modification to the Scooby that I’d like to cover. The body came from Tamiya with bod...

Hi Everyone. Dug out my old RC10 truck conversion from 30 years ago and was thinking of getting a new body since the old one has cracks. This is what the current body looks like - I prefer this style with the sloped/smooth back and can't seem to find anything online that looks like it. Can anyone h...

Progress:

Cut and mounted the nose plate

Mounted the rear Klein arms, b4 hub carriers, and threw some B3 CVDs just to have a visual, need to order a set of B44 CVAs....

Hi, Costing questions are generally frowned upon, but you have asked in a very educated and well thought out manner. :D Here are my views to try and answer your question. Yes it is generally better to buy a good donor car that to build from individual parts. Princing falls into several categories: A...

it's kind of been a double hump in the market and value/price. before the re-release of the classic and worlds car, things had peaked and were slowly declining and you could get hard to find parts once in a while for reasonable prices. so the hump/peak happened then. At that point, associated was st...

Twitchy is fast

Off course, you need to adjust your driving to the car, not the other way around....

What a hard decision ! as always i wish i had more votes , Wild Willy's story is wonderful and my second car was the Willy's Wheeler its sister (or brother ?) car so its close to my heart . The Javelin well its a Javelin ! few more pretty cars have ever been made . Lastly for me is the 240Z ! i near...

Hi Lonestar What a great build! Maybe have a suggestion for the clearance between the two ballstuds. I have found short neck ballstuds give a tiny bit more clearance if used on the tower. If used on the outside of the bellcranks mine bound up the ballstud cups under full droop, so they did not work ...

We got the shocks all mounted today:

And the truck as it currently sits:

this old truck has been passed between me, my brother, and son since new all 3 of us have 'tried' to race it at one point or another but i'd like to freshen it and hit a local track beginner class with it just for fun .. so the questions -- will a rustler/stampede tranny bolt on without modifying th...

This is my (almost complete) refurbished Tamiya King Cab.  I didn't take pictures during the process so only end shots. I started with 3 King Cab/Monster Racer chassis. The intent was to combine all 3 into the best King Cab I could make because I had the proper rims then assess what was left to buil...
