With the transition to indoor racing (clay/carpet) there's unfortunately a lot less demand for ribbed front tires. Jconcepts Carvers is the only racing tire currently being produced, with the JC Racing Products Double Ups as a possible alternative. Don't know if they're out of production or just wai...

So, they appear to be dimple died?... problematic because nothing would attach flatly to the chassis in their locations. Got to looking at the reflections trying to figure out what's going on around the trans mount when I noticed... the reflections on the chassis are on the wrong side compared to th...

updated the "slot car" logo Can I just say, I’ve never put two and two together that was the intention of that logo :lol: I feel like such an idiot!! ...really blow a persons mind, the AE logo was a slot car track... and Associated updated their "Slot Car" to an "R/C Car&qu...

Are you implying that there are Eclips that aren't horrible? :lol: Dunno about azone but I'd say there are e-clips that aren't horrible... they're the ones still in the packaging. :D Speaking of which, azone, putting the dates on the first post is awesome 👍 but looks like some got transposed.

In 1970 Associated Electrics introduced their first radio-controlled vehicle, the gas powered 1/8th scale RC-1.

It's exceedingly cool how their autopsy series examines the cars, and the car's they're examining. Could do without the green screen but, part of the gimmick. They've done four previous episodes and disassemble the cars in each one... Pilot - Michal Orlowski's Schumacher Buggies emLuoNh_Oco Episode ...

Awesome, congrats! Don't forget to crank up some Huey Lewis and the News while you're building it!

I think you scared Morrisey0 out of posting...

The new design brought with it a lighter hourglass shaped fiberglass chassis that was less susceptible to tweaking compared to the previous aluminum version, with the plastic front bumper and floati...

Oooo... very nice wheels... those look light just sitting there. As pretty as the wheels are though, the Revell paint is shocking. That is a night and day difference compared to the paint pens. A lot of awesome in those two posts. You mentioned painting the bumpers... the original TDP car used chrom...
