I worked on my slash puller a bit today. Got the shocks locked out, installed a slipper eliminator, made up a rear hitch mount, made some rear body posts to lift the rear and move the body 1/2" forward, and made up a battery filler piece because a shorty was all I could find with the max specs....

If they want more money from me they need to make a rere RC10DS

Last piece came today, I could still go further but I've had enough with tracking down parts overseas. Titanium hinge pins, nothing special but they are about half the weight of the stock steel pins. 20240618_203956.jpg SRT Race Roller for comparison 20240618_205618.jpg T3 Race Roller - only thing m...

Well... I apprehensively made an ebay purchase from a seller in Taiwan and I am happy to report that it went well.

Yeah... that was the first time I've made an out of country purchase. It definitely worried me when I read the "small print" after I had made the purchase.

I'm really tempted to give it front and rear laydown suspension, because I have some extra parts.

Finished my Ryft mod/rebuild

There are three of the hungry little buggers...

Spent a little time rehashing a body I had in the shed.... body was in too good condition to waste, so would have to rely on my creativity instead :shock: Previous owner decided they didn't like box art, so painted it white and Camel Yellow, with a pretty awful design. Not much I could do - the yell...

Got a body painted for the Slash puller, and of course had to name it.

Prepped my 870C for a shakedown run tomorrow.

Got a little head start on modeling the RC10 using the fantastic work of user fbmstar https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=46796 not too much detail and realism yet just a test pass. The idea is not to make parts but just to make photorealistic renderings and test body paint schemes for my CC &a...

I had already drilled the chassis for the standard steering servo mount location, so this building it as a standard gold pan seems right. Well, sort of standard.
