Re: Picture of the day. (Taken by you)

I'm gonna break the rules and post a picture that I've never actually taken. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. :oops: This image is from Google maps. This "T" shaped bridge is the exact spot where the Enola Gay dropped "Little Boy" on August 6th, 1945. hiroshima.jpg That domed struc...

Re: ** Build of the Month Contest - October 2024 ** - Winner - TheDiamondOne

I'm in My entry is the Marui Racing Buggy, aka Hunter prototype (at very least, this is the inspiration, from a single picture) https://i.imgur.com/X7RrfXd.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/hXNwRk6.jpeg Again, this is relying a lot on 3D printed parts : At the very exception of the wheels (orginals from a Ma...

Re: Picture of the day. (Taken by you)

I visited my mom this evening and took this picture of her backyard in the dark when I left because I grew up there. The digitizing of the pic turned out interesting I thought.

She was thrilled to be going on a car ride at first, but I think I captured the moment she realized we were at the grooming place.

Re: So, what did you do RC today?

I can relate to the above post, but in a shocking development I came out to the barn to watch the Colts for a bit and the one B3 I have left caught my eye. Decided to open the r/c tool box for the first time in a long time. Gonna tear it down to run it with the greatest motor of all time. The Johnso...

Re: Vulgar Display Of Power (updated pics 4/3)

I wouldn't call it a restoration but I am breathing some life back into this piece. Wild hare i guess. Still has the wheelie bar on it. The Johnson 540 being installed won't require it.

Re: Vulgar Display Of Power (updated pics 4/3)

Car is in good shape. Tranny is super smooth so I'm not going thru the trouble. Shocks need rebuilt and wheels and tires need a cleaning. I have plenty of modern electronics but my cousins will resto the Futaba to compliment the Johnson 540. Body is a question mark. I think I want to paint a now one...

Re: Vulgar Display Of Power (updated pics 4/3)

Wheels and tires are in relatively good shape, so I just cleaned them with a Mr. Clean eraser. I've been down the rabbit hole of replacing wheels and tires enough to know it'll have the bank on you like flies on a rib roast.

Re: ** Build of the Month Contest - October 2024 ** - Winner - TheDiamondOne

Sassy Chassis Tamiya King Cab According to the nice woman I purchased it from, it was built in the 1990s by her husband, driven for years, passed down to their daughter, driven some more, then listed on Offerup and scooped up by me. It is by far the most upgraded (and probably valuable) RC I own. It...

Re: ** Build of the Month Contest - October 2024 ** - Winner - TheDiamondOne

RC10B1.5 resto mod. The buggy that was meant to be but never happened and would have complimented the T2 nicely. This one started as a used, stripped down, left for dead T2 sport chassis from ebay that I picked up with the intention of making a modern "woin" racer. Highlights are a shorten...

Re: ** Build of the Month Contest - October 2024 ** - Winner - TheDiamondOne

This car started in pretty bad shape and in need of a lot of TLC. My first thoughts were “Going to try and not spend stupid money rebuilding” but it turned into a 3½ year project. My build thread tells all the details. One of the contributors to the thread had said “u need to smell watchu shovel''n”...
