Thanks! I used the Tamiya Curved 3mm tape, this stuff does not bleed, great for edges, and then masking on top of this, for a sharp line.

"I'm gonna bahhhhbecue yo ass in molasses!"

SWB Kyosho Fazer bodies are very close. WB technically is about 1.1mm different. WT, at least on this Camaro, is just where I would want it. Might be a little wide on a non-muscle car. I ordered up a STI body, so hopefully that will line up, but the wheels being wide in the rear is going to be an is...

This evening I watched both Smokey and the Bandit I (1977), and made it about halfway through Smokey and the Bandit II (1980); part II has Bandit written on the drivers door, part I has no name on the door. What i was really looking for was the exact decals to use for the Part I Bandit. The Bandit I...

Light buckets chromed and backed in black, ran out of black, PS-23 gun metal actually. https://i.imgur.com/yo74uz5.jpg Alclad II is very fragile until the backing paint is on. https://i.imgur.com/66AQxoH.jpg Looks like stainless or nickel in some light. https://i.imgur.com/4Et56IV.jpg Got the see-th...

Oh wow... When XLR8 asked about the lights I didn't know the body came with actual light buckets. Hats off to HPI for that level of detail.

Thanks! The Tamiya TLU-01 controller comes with 5mm LED's, and they are really bright. The LED's being sealed in the reflective buckets, does seem to focus the beams well. I hadn't seen those Tamiya Touring cockpits before, those are pro. If I had a 3D printer, that would be the first thing on the l...

Factory Works shorty holder made it today. https://i.imgur.com/2dY46s8.jpg Even with the ESC installed, I was able to fit a Tamiya wrench on the locknut that secures the holder to the chassis, had no trouble installing this. https://i.imgur.com/ysAxoCW.jpg https://i.imgur.com/JcRcylf.jpg https://i.i...

https://www.associatedelectrics.com/teamassociated/cars_and_trucks/RC10DS/Classic_Kit/parts_accessories/ We're getting DS tires soon (late August), listed at $30 for both front and rear! Arms and dogbones are available now. Perfect! 15 bucks for a full set of arms aint bad. Think I'll order a set, ...

Good prices, I snagged a ds and 10t to keep for later use. I don't want to regret holding out like with the 2013 classic haha.

Here is the start of my ten4.1 build. Not all parts are shown and still waiting on a few parts. Chassis will be powder coated.

I am surprised to see "tires/wheels open" for all of the vintage classes. This track was "slicks only" every time I went. The lady in charge was not too happy when I asked either, as if I should have known even though it was my first time at any track in 30 years. A 5 minute hara...

It's only the beginning. Most of my cars were bargin beaters that got turned into nice runners/become too nice to even run anymore. After getting the two you have running, you will want to have one with a stealth trans. After that it's game over and you will lose track of how many you have....... :m...

Getting some cars ready for BOTM 25'.. so i pulled this ole relic off the shelf..heres what was wrong with it since it last ran "at a Jason Fest"...and it hasn't ran much!...theres a saying around here "Rough Life on the Shelf"...every car is always broken after sitting on the sh...
