Good idea Thumbs.

My son and I at this year's VONATS. He's a sophomore in Mech Eng with a Geology minor. Glad someone snapped this of us. Time goes by quickly...

I think I fixed that on all my videos but I will check again thanks Mike

Good point, but I´m happy with what it is now. Going on adapting the body.

I was supposed to finish the berm, but got sidetracked by building the tabletop jump which was finished today. Kyosho Optima for size reference.

Amain was (is?) closing out some toy grade stuff, took a gamble on them since they didn't have much for pics or reviews. This entire lot was under $100, and while shipping wasn't free I did make another purchase that qualified so the entire lot shipped for free. Pretty impressed with the quality for...

Just got back from my cousin's place. Coxbros and the diamond one hooked me up with early Christmas presents. No idea when I'll get around to it but I will. Bag is full of motors and cases.

David finally figured out how to navigate the delicate Politics of botm! Congratulations!

It looks like the RC10 pulls the B3 but they were actually 100% even no matter how many passes we made. Both ran great. We had a Top Cat out there too that we should have added to the mix.

Been waiting since 1991 for a chance to build this!

There won't be much blue on it when it's done, just the chassis plates and possibly a thumb screw. This s...

Finally, a 959 I could afford The Tamiya is just so out of reach. This one ended up being brand new, I was expecting lightly used.

I had to space the tower forward a little for some extra clearance when using 12mm springs and maintain proper shock angle.


All mounted up


OG stickered A-arms from back in the day.

Made some battery changes....put a 7 cell unit in and rebuilt the motor...it's had a rough life on the shelf!...when Thumbs came down last weekend it was slow...pulled motor, only cranking 19k rpm...cut the comm, new brushes, etc...30.5k rpm now at @3.75 amps 20241031_142519.jpg 20241031_142528.jpg
