So for anyone running a car similar to this with big bore shocks are you running them on the front or backside of the rear tower? I've done them both ways, if you run the back side of the tower you have to add a spacer between the tower and bulkhead (3.5mm) and you'll have to use the spacers on the...

This time last year I was mourning my mother's passing , full time carer for my children and not had a job in years , now I'm mentally in a far better place and I have a job I love , just got a promotion and my secon...

The nice mixture of imperial and metric hardware, with a sprinkling of wood screws.
I particularly liked the hand carved front shock tower. And of the 6 or so bearings that were not upgraded to bushings most were siezed.

i feel better. dude got back to me and said no worries.

happy new year errbody.

Tacoma RC has one on order for me, should be here soon. Ordered EXOdesigns carbon fiber chassis for 870, it shipped. be about 2 weeks or less.

I wasn’t the first, and soon won’t be the last…. I started this build a good while ago along side my gas buggy. Just ran out of clean hardware then lost motivation. I wanted to wait until the truck was finished but it’ll be old news after everyone has a gold chassis. Now that Associated is releasing...

Needed to cut the Halsey-Thompson Reedy sticker in two as there’s curves in all directions on the roof.

In the meantime I ordered up a small block no pull start and crank Force 15 from AliExpress. They have some coupons available that will vary for buyers. In the past Force were pretty decent, Ofna used to distribute them. Edit, sounds like force is done now so might not be a good viable option past t...

We've all made stupid mistakes, the question is, was anything learned from it? Better yet, was anything learned from the mistakes of others?

The obvious answer to those questions is . . . Of course not!

While I’m not anything like I was as a kid, my 11 year old has surpassed me in the no fear area! All my kids walked and talked early, but he was walking at 9 months, figured out a 2 wheel bike at about 2 1/2. His first real bmx bike was a 12” Kink Roaster, then a 16” Sunday Primer, and we stepped hi...

This is sort of a What's old is new but also a ReRe , this definitely could have been done and is inspired by the A+L trailing arm conversions , it uses ReRe Kyosho Scorpion rear trailing arms mounted to the back of a Yokomo 834b ReRe . This allows some camber change as the wheel rises plus a little...

What is the EGT conversion? https://blog.jconcepts.net/2019/07/inside-look-jconcepts-rc10-egt-racing-truck/ The prototype is better because I built and raced it. :P :wink: I believe only 30 kits were made and sold. I still have to build mine. https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=43125 https://b...

Sounds like AE will have an engine available soon...
