Can anyone ID these heat sinks and whatever these plastic plugs are..they have different numbers on the ends.. ?? https://i.postimg.cc/wxh9QzKw/08-A28-A15-76-B3-4-CE8-80-BA-AC50732-F1020.jpg Well, just by chance, I found the other heatsink.... fits a TP ESC... a friend of mine just got this one tod...

Another small update.... I've been working on the gear mesh ever since I mounted the Irvine engine. When I sent it to RJ for him to play with, I sent up Nitro 10 versions, which come with smaller clutch pinions (25T in this case). The Nitro 10 range have pretty much set ratios (pinion and spur pairs...

An 80 mph nitro car that appears to have the same transmission as a Top Cat. :D Were the internals upgraded for the Daytona? Released in 93, so Cougar 2 Works internals, perhaps? The transmission internals are certainly improved over the TopCat and original Cougar. This is the Daytona diff from the...

Deathstorm2024 started about 5 minutes ago here in Illinois Iowa area We've just had 36 hours of rain in the middle of Summer.... 180mm+ of rainfall overnight, in a non-tropical area. But hey, nobody's messing with the weather, right? ;) Hope you're good, Toddster.... and that the storm doesn't unb...

17 hours into Deathstorm2024 and this, I haven't touched my driveway yet except for the tire tracks. I'm 60 miles straight east of Todd for reference. People were freaking and raiding the grocery stores and emptying shelves over the weekend for this supposedly brutal storm :lol: :lol: image000000 (...

Yeah, if I paid money for Traxxarse stuff, I'd find it hard to believe.....

Seriously though, I guess these are unobtanium? Looks like the start of another project... or the tidying up of a current one.

Racing a Traxxarse isn't enough?

Back to the office after an extended Christmas break, so had a couple of packages waiting for me.... 1. Some miscellaneous parts for my Durango SCT and Sakura touring car : The Durango parts will be an ongoing thing, as I attempt to complete a new DESC410R kit that has been raided; the Sakura batter...

I was too impatient and pulled the tape before it dried, no black as a result, and two silver tests. https://i.imgur.com/YKqa7lQ.jpg Chrome paint pen vs Tamiya X-11 for lexan aluminum chrome testing, next to Blue test. https://i.imgur.com/gu57XdC.jpg Looks like Bright Silver is the way to go, in or...

Picked this up over the weekend, with thanks to my good buddy Rob ( caesar )...

The only thing missing now is the stripper pole I think you'll find it rises up from the floor at the press of a button..... much like the roulette wheel flips over at the bar - at the press of a button. All that red lighting, I was thinking this might be Farmer's Bordello.... very upmarket... ;)

Another Mad Max Mini in the works... painted the body, now to do the decals. Used Tamiya Flat Clear for the first time, seems to make the black much deeper.... not really flat, though.

The argument seems to go both ways, and I've seen plenty of people say they put it on the outside. The way I paint, I rely on painting the inside, as it fixes up my unevenness ;) With this body, it has given me a different looking finish, and I do like it. It's not a flat, matt finish by any means, ...
