About 50 miles due west a large uncontained wildfire with the sunset backlighting the smoke.
High winds from the west were blowing ash as far as the house.

Old school clock tower at a very old school (Yale). Wish I had a better camera on me at the time.

I finally found my unicorn Ground Effects car thanks to Bob Stormer. I built it straight from the kit, then built it into a replica of the Cobra ad car. I'm still searching for the correct Cobra "Pro Series" motor with the green and red label. I only had this one small scan from the magazi...

Box art re-re GT with the AE engine:

The fry sauce saga continues.

Was at the Walmarts Friday looking for "Country Bob's" sauce and gazed upon this...

Just gave it a whirl, and not bad.

The only fix you need is to put the shock on the outer hole in the arm, and add shock internal limiters to reduce droop so the bone does not disengage. You can also place the blue spacer on the axle on the inside to bias the bone inwards. Honestly guys that aren't really builders (regardless of wha...

Body is cut and fitted. The rear end is a very tight fit to the motor and spur. As soon as I can find my container with all my wings, everything can be prepped for paint and decals. Then it should just be a quick 10 year wait until I get it painted.

Cut the battery boxes as per MIP manual.
I couldn’t help myself and started with some decals.
Red lettering are from Autographics #534 Red Racy Sign kit series.

Found this searching "Rocky" on google. There's a black Rocky that's got an interesting shock setup. And, I have to say, the Rocky makes a good showing by numbers! aPP1jfgmnWQ Via Google Translate: Kyosho Electric Off-Road Racer Winning Techniques Optima No.4181 0:00 Opening 3:02 1. Get to...

I'm getting the car ready for the upcoming Jconcepts Clash of Champions next weekend and figured I'd share some updated pics. I'll be running the modern 21.5 class as it doesn't fit in any of the vintage classes. Still a few things to do, but it's close to finished. 20250317_203904.jpg 20250317_2041...

Finally replaced the original melted body! Not sure how I feel about my "vision" for the pain scheme, but here it is. I hate doing bodies. They never come out quite right. This I wish I had moved it forward about a mm and trimmed around the front suspension better. Still have to sticker it...
