Built the Dirtmaster. Feels like a really solid car. Just need to paint up a body and give it a shakedown run.

I know that feeling. I have this and a DS coming in to my LHS. The amount of reres I've bought this year is getting out of hand.

Would be good to see if someone with a "gritty" diff tried new diff/thrust balls Swapped over to traditional thrust plates / balls, and it made no difference. Going to swap back in the new style, and just start swapping parts individually until some improvement is witnessed. All parts app...

I need to get me one of those Trans Am bodies that looks so good, did you go short wheelbase I had to with the protoform 71 Camaro to get a good fit in the wheel wells. The new DS Classic doesn't mention having an adjustable wheelbase, anywhere. The only place I can see where the wheelbase could be...

Those slightly protrude from the bottom. Unless you put a backing nut on, that's all the thread engagement available. When they are in stock, I like the JConcepts ones. They are aluminum versions of the Worlds bellcranks. The Fan RC belcranks have material added to the ballstud areas meaning they h...

Rogue nice side by side stealth comparison. Regarding the outdrives... I'm in the midst of building my trans for the fan kit. I did feel that the rings could use a sanding. I only sanded one side assuming that I don't want the ring to slip on the outdrive right? The outdrive to me felt rough. Like ...

Wondered across this while searching for other cool things... from the December 1990 issue of RCCA... no backspacing info, but has wheels weights, should your graph need another column :D Wheels Round Up 1.jpg Wheels Round Up 2.jpg Wheels Round up 3.jpg Wheels Round Up 4.jpg Wheels Round Up 5.jpg W...

Thought occurred to me. Since the mesh part of the wheel is a separate disk that's non-structural we can easily change up these disks with custom 3d printed ones to get different looks.

Today I finished assembling my Kyosho DirtMaster - well, the chassis anyway. I'll get around to painting the body and wing some day. I also finished this cad model: Dirt Master2.jpg Dirt Master1.jpg Dirt Master3.jpg It's pointless, I know, but I enjoy making digital models of my RC's. BTW, "Di...

I fear for the corner marshals

Anyone else unable to get the thrust bolt with greased washers and diff balls into the hub? I tried for a couple hours last night and could not even come close. Without the balls the washers will fit in but it's almost like the balls are too big or the diameter of the bolt is too big for it all to ...

I actually Picked up this Pontiac HPI body last night with my DS as there was one on the body rack at my LHS. Your build showing how nice this body is really set it up for me. I did briefly consider going with the Kyosho Skyline 2000 GTR but was unsure of fitment and it was twice the price. Maybe la...

Yes. It's AE's rendition of the Mustang Tommy Kendall drove in the SCCA Trans Am series. Thus, it is a Trans Am Mustang. :wink: The Jon Gooding version is better looking IMO. I think I am going to just go with the stock body and try to pay tribute to it (minus the big wing). 0e18ab57-b16b-4764-9638...
