Even if it were a higher concentration, they are safe to change in wet conditions. I'd blast mine with Electri-Clean and change them.

Most of us got exposed to tons of it when younger from brake dust and clutches.

My body soaked up so much trichloroethane from motor cleaner, solvent and gas from the auto shop, and breathed in enough dust from the cutting of carbon and g10 over the years that I don't think it will be the little bit of slipper dust from Traxxas that's gonna get me

Got the EXODesign carbon fiber chassis with white wheels for the Re Re 870/YZ10, and possibly Works 91 (picking up Saturday). I like the box, pretty nice. Going to go with Cliff Lett 90s ROAR car as a theme, as it was what inspired the paint scheme (team car) I ran when I had my original YZ10. Which...

Looking through the documentary “RC10 the winning edge with Jammin’ Jay Halsey” I noticed two more decals on the rear of the body. Some other small details emerged as Jay’s father Jim talked about geometry, weight distribution, tires and electronics. I know Jay and his father did many alterations ov...

Looks great! I'd try to lower the body a bit more since you have the chassis cut that would facilitate it. It might be the camera view throwing me off though. 468718940_10160929077691864_1997330751379468688_n.jpg Thanks RogueIV, The body cant sitt lower unless you modify the rear shock tower. It mi...

Started into the paint and decaling of my DS. Lots of decal work left, and haven't started on the wing yet. Like all my paint jobs, she's a 2-3 footer.

Transfered some motor leads to a S&K Ironman Torque II. Working on completing the electronics package for the SWB TRX-1.

The foil takes some getting used to, and familiar with. Using gloves makes this much easier, it doesn't stick to your hands and makes it smudge free. Only the front passenger side bumper was applied so far, that's all one piece. https://i.imgur.com/t4uRwLV.jpg The left side reflects, the right side ...

Beyond offering computers and electronic components Radio Shack was home to another hobby rising in popularity... Radio Controlled electric vehicles. Selling primarily Nikko branded products in its hay day a large number of R/C enthusiests can say the car that got them hooked on R/C came from Radio ...

I cannot stop buying vintage buggies. This Ultramold popped up last night on Offerup and for $150 I could not not buy it. I mean, come on. It's freaking awesome! It also came with a box of spares including a NIB set of MIP CVDs for a goldpan and a OS .15 CVR engine. Screenshot_20250116-164402_Galler...

Making a run tomorrow (if all the snow melts)....got the GNSS charged up, gonna try and get an accurate top speed recording which I have failed to so far..WHY? (if u ever saw it run in person you would understand, it's hard to record the speed of a bomb going off)...anyway...going with an Aerotech G...

Unfortunately the weather isn't cooperating here..ice melted but 20mph winds and cold....that's just too windy to run it..I will postpone the launch until a nicer day

Back on the lathe today. Made a pair of body/wing mounts.

Finished up the paint and decals on my ReRe DS. Stock body, just with the Jon Gooding scheme.

I am about over decals right now, and wish I didn't need to mess with then for quite some time, but I think the next project will be just as dependent on them.

Looks good. I'm amazed you were able to foil the bumper in one piece. Nice! :) Nitrile gloves were the key to getting the foil on there, for me, though it took a of couple swings before any contact was made :lol:. Also used a new #11 x-acto blade to barely score and then tear the excess off at the ...
