Congrats David.

I also want to thank everyone that has taken the time to enter a vehicle this year, and to all of those that take time to vote each month.

Looks most likely the standard white components have been dyed red.... people have been doing that for decades.

Uh, how else do you dye parts

You gonna dip the completed car in a pan of black dye

He still had it! We bought it immediately and did a complete resto. All original except body and ser...

Here we have a Bolink (not RJ) Digger, nothing special. I picked it up on ebay because it had a Novak Rooster and a nice Fantom motor. The body is a RJ reproduction of the 1/12 Bolink 69 Charger. The General Lee decals are from MCI, of which I only used a few of. I still have the white letter Bolink...

Optima clone Great Vigor Beagle after a complete stripdown rebuild. No one likes the original body and the one on this was knackered so rather than a pretentious kyosho body might as well go for summat completely different. Buggy special brown dot motor. 2.4 Rx and ESC , running condition. Hi-tech q...

This project started off life as a parts car purchased off of the bay that was in pretty terrible shape when I took delivery. Did not expect this to lead me down the path of doing a take on Mark Pavidis’s car and a mistake during painting almost derailed it but pretty happy where it ended up. Here i...

Still need to tweak some things, but close-as for now.

Today finally the postman arrived with the new designed rear shocktower! So, mounted it, and finished almost the whole rear end. Together with the carbon milled washer plate, the whole rear bulkhead, and carbon shock tower is realy solid. Pretty happy about how it came out, plus the way it looks. Th...

In between just a few pictures to have a better look at the car for now.
I need to start working on the electronics, and needs some “planning” to fit it all..

Hope you like some of these snapshots...

Me and "the diamond one" were talking to an RC legend the other day with some cocktails and asked him what he thought about what girls think about us running our cars....he said "what would you think if you were married and came home and they were playing with dolls? Its the same thin...
