Always wondered why they say "Twisters" on motor label but are actually called "Twister"....????

Actually I have it turning even like this...I thought about it but the holes didn't line up and and looked a little cheesy

Got the metal clutchbell designed by Dadio on...it fixed the clutch issue...drives great...will make a few speed runs at next Fest

Haha, could you imagine, if that were the case there'd be a lot of shockless Cosmo's for sale.

...and clutchless!

Resurrection coming soon..big changes

...and a JRX2

It appears there is resurrection after all!..it will have Sanyo cells in it 4x2...gotta do the cuttouts in chassis in just the right spots, no room for error...Associated gold shocks coming, having different sprockets coming in hopefully a smoother finish with the "dirty yellowed" look lik...

When I was working on it today I asked myself the same question...it was so long ago I don't really remember doing any of it or how it was done...I do remember they are from a Tamiya...I am gonna go back thru the thread and try to find it

Yup, just found it! Lol...DF-02 c-hubs and steering arms...just got the aluminum front arms ready..they match the finish and the rest of the aluminum parts

Just waiting on the shocks to come in...then the Diamond One can do the body
