Behold.... and now the Blue Eagle LS-II. Already having a Blue Eagle LS and SRT, I was done with a Traxxas collection, but this was just far too good of a deal to pass up. It's simply fantastic, and at a price just over what heaping piles go for, which makes me like even more. Resized_20240521_15204...

Hi,

A little toy for my fingers ...

Removing anodising or not ?

Brand new Corally SSx12

Many thanks to Alex for putting me onto these cheap tires. I got tired of waiting for Carvers to become available again. I don't know how well these will perform compared to big name tires but they feel surprisingly good and look good. 20240523_220524.jpg Althought not my first choice I've ordered a...

The chassis is finished so thought I'd post an update. P1010001.JPG P1010005.JPG The tub has spent some time as a buggy so a quick coat of matte black hides the scratches. P1010010.JPG I've had a couple new sets of these threaded shock bodies for a while and this seems like a good project to use a s...

After the Lynx, its 2WD brother came in today... The state is not the same, but it was really cheap, so I did not hesitate for long. This will allow me to work on both 2WD and 4WD version in CAD together...

In the bath now.


Back in 20 with the results.

I've installed the electronics this afternoon so it's a runner now. Reedy 1523MG, Dynamite branded HW 1060, and a Corona Futaba compatible Rx. P1010016.JPG I have the body cut and fitted so I just need to mask and apply paint. Still waiting for decal sheet from MCI. The front tires are original 10T ...

Found this critter working outside today.

That was not exactly today, but was yesterday... I went to Montluçon to a vintage event organized by the "Mini Racing du Centre" : Montluçonnaise 2024. I loaded the car on Friday morning, including a set up to allow me to sleep in... About 21 cars made the travel this time, and that's far ...

Just noticed that one of my rear stub axles is NOT threaded while attempting to install the rear tire lock nut. 3 of the axles are threaded, this one is smooth. I opened an AE service request for a new axle and roll pin... will keep everyone updated on what they say. VERY annoyed as this was the fin...

Installed steering and painted bulkhead caps.

Going to decide on the tire writing for the Kyosho, leaning towards yes. At first I was thinking no, I wouldn't... ...but it makes a really impressive difference with the tires painted: Kyosho Painted Tires.jpg Though... 1/10th Goodyear decals/waterslides would look soooo good: Kyosho Goodyear Tire...

Actually finished one of the FXT's.

I found the pièce de résistance. I think I found the only set of NOS roof lights on the interwebs and grabbed them, hopefully they don't get ripped off first run. Kinda sad really as someone probably needs them for a restoration.
