Thank you for documenting this build. I found #2 in pieces in the garage, I'll start seeing if I can get it all back together. Not sure if everything is there and I've got some other projects to do first, but now I at least know what car that is.

Hey MachV, did you ever get this thing going? May need to get the trucks together for a photo shoot sometime.

Looks like a kyosho optima rear end, and a mid front gearbox, belt conversion? Not sure about the arms, out drives look like early YZ-10? But steering uprights and steering knuckles are Kyosho optima /mid era. Anyone else? Thanks, the part on the front gearbox that was throwing me off was the reces...

Hey MachV, did you ever get this thing going? May need to get the trucks together for a photo shoot sometime. Hey look who has entered the zoo! Good to see ya Adam! Hey Dave! I only know it’s you because of your post about pre war bikes, dead giveaway.. lol. Figured I’d join up since I’ll need some...

Wow, such a cool build! It came out amazing.

I wanted to introduce myself to everyone. A couple of you already know who I am, and maybe remember my sisters and I running around M&M Raceway as a kids picking up little parts (some broken), packaging them with my dad’s equipment, and trying to sell them back to you. I’m Daryl Lane’s son. Most...

Some of the very first racing I've done



This was my dad's velodrome top speed car, he had a different one for the multi driver races.

This is my first project in the garage on the RC side. Looking through some random boxes I found 6-8 graphite A&L chassis and after looking around at other spare parts I found a Kyosho front bulkhead that matched the hole pattern on all of them, so I’m guessing Ultima. Someone correct me if I’m ...

This is actually the first Lethal Weapon transmission that I've seen the inside of. Thanks for doing a build thread with one. Looks like it will be a cool set of buggies. I've got a few more to do for other builds, I was thinking about doing an actual step by step of it. You haven't lived until you...

Lol we'll see, some of the builds on here are pure perfection! I think I'll need to clean up the 6 wheeler and submit that on behalf of my pops first.

Hey Adam...what were you racing at the Hobby Shack parking lot races? Was it a Bolink Legend spec car? I remember you racing with us but can't remember what car...lol... Good memory, Dave! That was the first car my dad got me. I’ve got pictures of it somewhere. There was one car between that and th...

I got to work on the cars a little more this weekend and after looking a bit more at the Pro XL arms I have they were in pretty good shape, just dirty. I cleaned them up and stuck them on the new chassis with Ti buckles for now. I’ve got another special build that will need a set of these arms so I’...

This build is so amazing. The way that tranny looks is killer. The coloring is perfect. The fact thats its NOT an rc10 (sorry brian). U make sure u get it entered in BOTM before december. Clear shot to win BOTY! Thank you! I've got two bodies on the way from Penguin in UK, per Jeff's recommendation...

I couldn’t tell you right away but I’ve got occasional access to a material identification gun. It’s what the metal recycling industry uses on the unknown stuff. Pretty accurate minus the temper. For the 70-120 price for ano on the handful of screws, I could see that. You’re not really getting over ...

Looks greater than 90 by eye, if they come from the aircraft industry like mentioned then that makes sense. They use 100 on imperial flatheads.
