Back then, an RC10 with a bunch of Kyosho stickers all over it :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: And a Trinity motor :lol: :lol: :lol: Chuck Actually, it might more accurately be the opposite.

Finally DONE. After 10 months of fabrication, 400+ hrs of work, and a very empty wallet lol. I give you "ICARUS". 1/5 scale Mike Hesse axle truck. Quick overview of it is - 5/16" .062 wall tube chassis I built myself, axles are Hesse axles which I fully polished and have Fastlane 4eve...

My truggy'fied A-stamp from 1985. Works great on grass with the added height. Hope you like it.

The Diamond One look'n good!

That's the REAL DEAL folks

The Diamond One look'n good! That's the REAL DEAL folks :P If the voters knew where the mechanical speed control was located and what it looked like and how secretive it is, it would have gotten more votes...and its not cause its a plastic babys toy like Brian thinks :lol: ....the proof is he didn'...

Awesome I'm in second place ...... if you discount the non Hotshots anyway
