My Tamiya Frog. Has MIP diff and some re-re parts. Built it during my time with cancer.

Entering my Kyosho Pro-XRT stadium truck. Picked this up early 2021 and spent a little over a year collecting needed parts before starting the build process. Finished the build and installed electronics a couple years back, and just recently finished the body which is a TBG repro with MCI decals. Tr...

Ordered stuff Sunday and it arrived in short order. Paint scheme might pre-date the car a bit but I'm ok with that. Hope to find time to ice down a few beers and paint it this weekend.

This is one of those months where I want to be able to have multiple votes. The front suspension on that Marui Hunter is very cool. Arrgh! So many good options!

Hmmm. this is a hard one I'm going to have to sleep on it for a few days nice cars.

Gonna take you back to an very important car in my rc history. 1989. This was my ultima that was modified as much as my budget for a 16 year old could afford mowing lawns (which i still do to this day for a living). Our local track converted to dirt oval. It was a very loamy heavily watered soil so...

The amount of work on some of these cars just looks incredible...

Well, unfortunately it's too windy to paint today. I went thru some totes looking for a nice Johnson. :wink: . Found one and ironically found the original Mamba Max 5700 first. The Johnson will fit in the rear nicely, but first run, I may use this Paradox I came across. It performed nicely on the Pr...

Got the exhaust fitted

Coming together nicely. Finding tons of $#!+ I forgot I owned looking for a few things for this. Mostly electronics. Hope to paint next Sunday.

Short video of it idling.

What was the first RC buggy to include rear toe-in as part of its mechanical design? Was the Yokomo 834B the only RC buggy to have won without any rear toe-in? Did Gil Losi Jr. ever think about implementing it into his 4WD at the 1985 IFMAR worlds? He must have known some of the tuning benefits of t...

To throw a rant in, the evolution to "what works" though is how you end up with a bunch of race cars today that are all virtually identical. There is a fastest way for sure but not necessarily the most interesting way when it comes to design.

Totally agree. Things are fairly boring today compared to the interesting ideas and concepts of yesteryear. Its one of the reasons I'll always be faithful to Tamiya. They still do some things differently.
