Re: Traxxas Sprint Car

I would love for this to catch on and become a new oval class. Not Traxxas, though. Tamiya would probably be best given their expertise with scale accuracy. Fun fact, Cecil Schumacher runs a vintage Talbot Lago grand prix car and he is also among the world's top mechanics specializing in pre-war ra...

Re: (2) RC10GT's - Black Tub and Plastics - #7065

Am I remembering correctly that you'd mentioned a dilemma with your antenna and not wanting to poke a hole in the body for it? Was thinking you did so I've been looking for an RCCA Pit TIp from back in the day. Earlier today BattleTrak posted an article from the issue which had the Pit Tip I was loo...

Re: Traxxas Sprint Car

and... for those interested, a longer, more in-depth look at the car: _ptQ4rjQiDo The wheels were kinda cool... I expected them to be solid with a mesh cover but it turns out there's lacing in the perimeter of wheel center. I foresee someone gutting one of these to build a period hot rod. Actually, ...

Re: BoLINK Bodies Ads

I often wonder what became of all those painted bodies, and how many are still around... Would be exceedingly cool to track all the bodies down... "Where are they now" style. Interesting conversation in your '55 Chevy thread. Good read and very cool the promo cars of theirs you were able ...

Re: Ruined GT paint - attempt to fix

Paint come out really nice. Good save. The red and blue being pearlized, almost pastel, looks cool. The marble paint reminds me of silly string... and who didn't love that stuff! :lol:

Re: ** Build of the Month Contest - January 2024 ** - Winner - coxbros1

Now THAT was a race!

Coxbros1 in front out of the gate, Frankentruck charges forward to take the lead, then coxbros1 lunges ahead in the final stretch to take the win! :shock:

Thunderous indeed, was like the Kentucky Derby of build contests! :lol:

Congrats Coxbros1! Very sweet car 👍👍

Re: Tamiya Polycarbonate Metallic Paint - Backing colors

Car is looking good. Might not be the Nassau blue you intended, but it's just about bang on for Admiral blue. Very pretty as is. 👍 Depending on how far you want to go there are a few options... If you just want the stinger in white, Hobby Lobby sells single 8.5x11 vinyl sheets for $1.50/sheet. They'...

Re: What RC Videos Do You Like On Youtube?

An off the wall one I'm not going to link because it's got just a little vulgarity, is the video for the Drum and Bass track, "Joyride", by Amaro and Walden, which features animated characters cruising and getting into trouble around London in a Tamiya Wild Willy. I get the hesitation... ...
