15 hours has passed. Hoping the deal comes through. Thanks!! Very Proud Owner! :D I am usually the next guy in line when these deals pop up, so super excited about this one! And no joke, this was about 4 minutes away from where I was planning to be today. And because of various things going on thes...

No pepperoni was harmed during the taking of this picture.

Well, I can only assume that every member here is watching Cobra Kai since its inception. Part 3 of season 6 jumped the shark just a bit but they did make excellent use of this song. I still really dig it. jhat-xUQ6dw Going to start watching the newest episodes this evening. The show and cast far e...

Finally started on a parts lot that I had for 2 years. Much more modern than my usual. Not enjoying the 5/40 vs 4/40 hunt and peck.

I for the life of me cannot remember where I put the transmission, driveshafts or turnbuckles.

Its nice to start a project

I figured I would finally finish this CCP blackfoot build I call (Purple Rein) today. I've been stalling on the last step, which was the wiring, as I hate soldering 🙄 but I said today was the day, and I must say I like how it looks so far. Next, I'll polish up the body as it sat for a while, collect...

I put a 17.5 brushless setup in my TC3 a while back and it was glitching with my AM radio. I tried a Novak Polaris receiver and it was still glitchy. Tried a Futaba R162 Rx tonight. After adjusting the throttle range a bit, all was good.

Trifecta?

I'm gonna buy one, probably 2. But am I the only one that thinks it's a bit... Ironic?

Motor options. I did not have Losi motors back in the day. Mostly, I had Trinity Monster Horsepower or B&R, as that is what the local hobby shops had in stock. 20250215_105307.jpg 20250215_105903.jpg This is what I had in there BITD. Need a pinion and a few misc screws to call it done (for now)....

my pin is cooler.

Ok, Purple Rein is complete. Body all polished and cleaned up. It's not my best paint job, but it will do. Now on to the next one. Stay tuned as I think you guys will like this next one.

We old farts grew up in a very different world. I grew up out in the sticks so crime was even less of a worry for us in the small town where I went to school. No kindergarten in my time, but it was added by the time I was in the 4th or 5th grade. We also had K-8 on the same campus and the high schoo...

Oh, and buying throwing stars from Cutlery World in the mall at 12. :mrgreen: Amateur! :roll: We made our own in shop class when the teacher wasn't looking. :mrgreen: At least until a few of the idiots started throwing them at the wall in the steel storage room, which shared the wall with the Engli...

Getting there a little more, have a bunch of cool things inbound this week and a few ideas to try. Hopefully get a full shakedown by the end of the week.... at least that's the plan. Tried to strip the shell of its paint, but after 3 days only the yellow would come off, so masking and a rework will ...

I don't have a lot of specific stories to tell, just that we had total freedom back then. We could go pretty much anywhere at any time as long as we were home before dark. We never got into any trouble and no one ever bothered us. I especially remember that there was a store about 2 miles from my gr...
