Had a thought.... someone could win the trifecta. Start with the POS of the month, then continue to fix it up like you've been planning all these years to take the hopelessly incomplete title, and then finish it in all its glory and win BOTM. :) I think I'd have a good shot here with my decades in t...

New shocks day, thought the nylon spring adjusters fit this car pretty well.

Finally getting some work done on this car. The transmission is together using 64p Thorp internals for ultimate efficiency. I'm trying to use a modern TLR 22 slipper setup, but I'm having a hard time getting everything to work properly. I think I may need to find a longer slipper spring. B4 slipper...

Open Practice is one week away. Strap on your strap-ons.

As far as the toy grade/hobby grade stuff goes, the Dictator is kind of stuffed in the middle. It was upgradable with bearings, had a modular design with many familiar design elements from hobby 4wd, yet it was a circuit board toy grade car. It felt like one they could have taken to hobby grade if t...

Well, here it is at his latest setup. Still need to finish decals and maybe get another full set made for spare body. Special thanks to Ruben at rubrixrc for the YZ10 lower tray. The decals currently on the body are mostly originals, with a couple from the new MCI sheets. (never said I was good at p...

In 1998 Kyosho unveiled a new 1/10 4wd Nitro on-road model, the MOONEYES Street Van. MOONEYES was opened by Dean Moon in 1950 and produced speed parts for the burgeoning hot rod market. The company was purchased by Dean's friend Shige Suganuma in 1992 who has operated MOONEYES USA and MOONEYES Yokoh...

There is also a very rare Nikko gas car. I had one that I purchased on eBay years ago and sold off again...

It was a GP-15 based Mercedes touring car. A good example can be found here:

I realised that I didn't have a period correct Trinity in my collection. Back in 91 I was running stock motors. So I turned to a guy in the UK from whom I got several nice Trinity motors. He came back with this picture. received_282531700388632.jpeg The motor on the right is an actual Chris Doseck p...

Crossed another car off of my vintage oval bucket list: Raborn Invencer X-10

I added the optional Raborn aluminum spring retainers, Tecnacraft turnbuckles and some aluminum hardware. It's sitting on CW mounted foams and I have a CW Phantom Wedge to top it off.

Picked up a Yokomo. It's a YZ10 body shell, but I have no idea if its a YZ10 or an 870, or if there's a difference. It has a 1 way bearing for the front belt pulley if that makes a difference.

Finished up these 2 Re-releases. It was a busy weekend.

Someone take my place please. My mom's basement nearly flooded so I won't get any pics with all the water mitigation I have going on over here. I will take your place if there is still a spot. If I'm too late or it's already full that's ok. My Agama N110 build. Just waiting for the rest of the piec...

I don't know what they are saying but it looks like a great time.
