I'm shocked that they haven't adapted to running on beer :mrgreen: :lol: I was dog sitting for a friend a few months back, Sammy looks like a lab in a corgi body. At any rate, I was giving his owner poop and staged empty beer bottles in and around Sammy's kennel, took pix, then texted said owner to...

I've got the week off to relax, so I'm surfing YouTube watching random vids of whatever and came across this one. Pretty darned neat, I'll be checking out more of his channel.

Back in the day when I had carb vehicles, it wasn't that big a deal. Were there minor issues here and there, yeah, but overall, having a carb isn't that big a deal. Since I bought my first new vehicle in 1995 that had a throttle body, essentially a fuel injected carburetor, there's been a marked imp...

One thing to keep in mind with this project is that the roof isn't visible from the ground, so as long as it's watertight, that's all that matters.

SHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Don't tell anybody!


I was gonna post that we're our own worst critic, but that's not true because I'm gonna judge the h . . . e . . . double hockey sticks out of it!

For my workshop, I found a crazy stupid deal on some fastener bins, so decided to make the base of my main worktop a bin holder. Plenty of storage, and this is only 12 of the 20 bins I have. Whoa! WHOA!!! Slow down there, Kimosabe, you're becoming VERY close to being organized! :shock: :mrgreen: :m...

I was never a Kiss fan, they mostly made noise, not music. They were a product of the rebellion of the 60's and 70's which led to the hair bands of the 80's. Whomever was the most obnoxious got the most attention. Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, different genre, I know, but it was same thing, the more outlan...

Isn't it more on the users to create the events, or at least show the companies and suppliers who would sponsor these things that there's enough interest in vintage racing to make such events happen?

Just because you buy something doesn't mean you want any more from the manufacturer. Some guys buy these things as a toy, to be played with, they have no interest in racing or any other kind of event surrounding them. Same goes for those who build shelf queens or just enjoy the build and never run t...

are brushless motors still a thing in RC? LOL! Brushless is the standard in modern RC. :wink: You youngster's and all your "modern" stuff. :roll: :wink: :lol: When I was running Clods NiCads were still a thing, I think it was Lipo that was just starting on the scene. I was out of RC by '0...

ME: See, if I buy all of them, then I can keep the one I want and sell off the others for close to, if not more than what I paid for all of them, and I get the one I want. WIFE: You always say that, but you never actually sell any of them. ME: .............................. I have no legit rebuttal...

Does anyone else spend time on vacation looking for RCs? Or is vacation time meant for being away from RCs also :?: Vacation?!?!? What's that?!?!?! :? IMO, vacations are for doing whatever you like, there are those who think hiking is a great thing to do. Real weirdos, if you ask me! :shock: :roll:...
