Tamiya hybrid buggy, built mostly with Blitzer Beetle parts. It also uses parts for a Stadium Thunder and Hornet. https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=47655 The yellow CVA shocks are from a Vanquish and the CVD shafts are for a TA-02. It uses AmPro upper and lower chassis braces. The wh...

From my experience, those esc's prefer a transmitter with 50/50 range.

Not saying thats the problem, just something I've noticed.

Man I wish Losi still made those tires. They don't say Losi, but Schumacher makes a stagger rib that is nearly identical. They also have a mini spike rear. Oh I know but it just doesn't hit as well without the "TEAM LOSI" on the sidewall :lol: Oddly enough I have several sets of Losi tire...

Good morning, you beaches

The Green Machine will be harder to do, as it has a crimped on endbell. However, the brushes are easily changed. The other can be disassembled and serviced easily. While you can't directly tell by appearance, both motors look to be in excellent condition. Chances are, they probably don't need much. ...

Just like fat girls on Instagram, its all about camera angles.

I don't think it will get much love, and my photography and camera need to improve, but it's fun to take part this month! I never enter with the expectation of winning. If that was the case, I'd have stopped playing the lottery years ago. And even though my vote went somewhere else, I do like your ...

Did a little work on this one. Swapped the Novak receiver for a Tekin, to match the esc. Slightly modified an RJ Speed front bumper, and trimmed the body.

If you can find one, I think the Andy's Pro Arrow fits as well. He does a batch every now and then.

Finally got me a "modern" buggy.

A B4 is about as modern as I'm going to get.
Overall, it looks to be in pretty good shape. Some electronics, front tires, and a wing should have it going.

After work, put some electronics in my newly acquired B4.

Hitec Shredder receiver, Yokomo SCR-BR esc, and an Flight Test servo. I don't have many extra Reedy motors, so I used a Trinity Speed Gems Pro (15X2).

Yes, Custom Works have the correct ball size. I believe that CRC is as well.

If you have some plastics that are stripped, Schumacher ball studs have the same ball size but with slightly larger M3 threads.

Fitted up a RJ Speed Jeep crawler body on one of my Blackfoots, using Monster Beetle mounts. I need to narrow the rear mounts a little but the overall fit is better than I'd hoped for.

The white Great Planes ball links are still fairly easy to find.

I used oven cleaner in the past to remove existing anodizing but this was years ago, I'm not sure if the cleaners are the same as they were back then.. You want the yellow can. Real Easy-Off seems better than the off brands but definitely has a stronger odor. I have even used the Dollar Tree brand....
