They know its the Holy Grail of rc!

I suggest you put in all the time, money and effort and clean up the old beater to mint condition and give it to someone in your family. I dunno, maybe a cousin or something like that. :lol: Actually, you already have too much invested in the pile to let it be. Breathe new life into it and get it ru...

I just might, still regreting taking back the Hotshot. Wish it was still at your place. I will defintaly get it restored and running and continue the thread, but the thread will have (two) now. Hope i dont go broke!

They both came in. The one from ebay is a basket case The other is mint like the guy said. I did have to fix the servo tray in the mint one. It was cracked in half. The basket case came with an aluminum one. It also has alot if parts missing, bent frame, etc. But i will fix it all. Heres a bunch if ...

Not real sure on the engine. I think it because they modified a Cox Scorpion for a nitro engine. The yellow wire is for the glow starter, i dont have it for the basket case car. It was gone when i got it. U put a "C" battery on the front bumber in between the springs, It fired up the glow ...

Went with a custom fuel tank. This basket case didnt come with a tank. My Nitro Brute tank had to be cut open and repaired...and i am running a rc10gt tank in that truck now, so i decided to fit the modded Nitro Brute tank in here, hopefully it doesnt leak cause it fits great Resized_20190307_134408...

Thanks for the comments and info. As for the cracks, I took Hudy battery strapping tape and put it over the crack on the out side of the body. Then on the inside i used C6000 clear (like shoe goo but better) and spread it over the cracks. Once its dry u peel off the tape and can barely see the crack...

The quality is a little rough... like 1978 amateur home porn rough, but here's some running video. The thing hauls for BITD power!

Changed out these wore our front end components, worn parts had the camber all screwed up, plus they were ugly Thanks to rerelease cars these old parts can be bought

I finally bought a Clodbuster and this will be the soap opera of a rebuild of said Clodbuster. Once you've seen a stock Clodbuster you've seen them all so this will probably be about as exciting as a soap opera to many. I know nothing of Clods per se but this will be my attempt at making a nice orig...

Here we go again! I couldn't resist picking up this beautiful Turbo Inferno. It is a built but never run buggy with some very rare vintage upgrades. It is dusty and I am tearing it down for a complete rebuild. The only negative part is that the blue chassis has faded a little on the top side. I am n...
