Just make sure to pack the No-Doz....

Shotgun is coming together in preparation for vintage racing early next month... Shotgun.jpg Tore down the Pro shocks, and noticed this on one of them: 20231021_195802.jpg Yep, that's an e-clip embedded in the seal cartridge. Found an extra e-clip in the shock body itself, too! Plus, the shock shaft...

More work done on the Shotgun.... body fitted, radio gear sorted, and made my own LiPo tray out of a busted Cat XLS chassis plate. Have sorted electronics to use, and tested the receiver and servo. Still got to get back to the shocks, and then put it all together... but it's getting there! 20231029_...

That's come up a treat, RJ.... you should be well pleased with the result.

Will be a shame when I crash into it on the weekend.... so try and avoid my mobile chicanery

I have to say that RJ's truck looked awesome in the flesh at the Bash.... and his performance was a standout for me, from a pretty awesome weekend of racing, chatting, and talking poop. Was great to finally meet the guy, after we've given each other so much carp over the years on here! Such a brilli...

I have some pretty ordinary mobile phone photos coming.... but here's one from Out Of Turn Photo Photography on Bookface...

Just got home from the track, thanks Alex for my matching stubble cooler :D It was fun catching up with you and Rob and talking crap. Watching Rob with the wing wire was gold :lol: and congratulations on your raffle win, have you thought about buying a lotto ticket?? :lol: 20231105_215629.jpg That'...

Got some old skool 1:12 parts in the mail, to start making a recent acquisition look a little better. NIP front and rear Yokomo / ASSociated foams, 12L rear wing (well, mostly just a flat bit of lexan!), a NIP front bumper, and some spur gears. All came together, for what I consider a good price. 20...

If I didn't know better, I'd say you lived in Australia!

Looks a bit cold..... and not enough poisonous critters.

This shouldn't take too long to remember all the things I regret selling..... :( Real cars: - Ford Escort Mk2 2-door Rally Pack: Sold when I got married the first time for very little, to buy an auto slush box we could both drive :( - Mazda RX2 Coupe rally car: Sold for $2500 as a fully kitted out r...

I always have to put oil in, the first thing anyone does when they pick up an RC car is to play with the suspension. On a Losi this means adding oil every few months :lol: I don't put oil in my runner shocks half the time.... why would I put it in my shelfers? :?: Wait.... what shelfers??? :shock: ...

Either that or I can get the wife to cook up some sweets/pastries and start a bakery.
