Man! Your on a roll!! :mrgreen: It's a special time of year before all hell breaks loose with kids' activities! That’s a nice looking chassis! No servo saver cutout, Jrx2 steering and the mini bumper..Looks like a Proformance upgrade with some more upgrades. I agree - someone threw a Proformananana...

For those not familiar with the Project Optima truck, you can read the article here: https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=11218 I've always loved the look of this truck. This magazine article came out when I was in the 8th grade, however, at the time it cost more than 2 years of my allowance. I'...

Man I remember this issue of RC Car Action! I loved this truck! So cool you've recreated it! Looks great! :D I remember having this very copy of RCCA and taking it to school in the 8th grade. A kid I had in class made fun of me for playing with radio control cars. I can still see him - he had a mul...

No runs yet. Need to wedge this ESC in there somewhere. If I had stayed with a brushed motor I could have easily fit the electronics but I got this deal on the brushless and I had a coupon.

And look how you turned out

A local restaurant growing up that's now out of business sold a "honey lovin Jimmy Carter peanut butter bacon burger". Never tried it though!

It has some rare, hard to find bearings

Sweet build! Thanks! I'm patting 12 year old me on the back. :mrgreen: Had a few minutes at the bench today. Bulkheads mounted with a new bumper. 20250309_145854.jpg New steering posts. 20250309_150445.jpg I found a correct "wide" steering rack in the parts stash and mounted the battery h...

Obviously not from AE, these were taken from the parts as I built the kit. If anyone wants to play with them, here ya go. Probably not 100%, but should be a real good start. These measurements taken from the kit parts, and have not been adjusted at all for 3d printing. You may need to open up holes,...

I'll just leave this here.

its amazing how you can cut down development time by being smart. It took me 6 hours to model their parts vs a year of research and development to make it from scratch

The AE rear bulkhead doesn't appear to fix anything, the chassis flex is still insane. I have a brace set coming soon for the new AE car, specific to it. With it you can remove the silly rear brackets it comes with. Didn't get a chance to reach out today, got thinking he probably wouldn't want to sa...

Front end done

This weekend is starting off great. Found some rare sees aluminum and JPS aluminum Wheels. The two sets that are still in packages, along with two sets of sees knock off nuts, just blew my mind. Tomorrow, I'm taking a trip upstate to hit up a couple of old hobby shops. I called one of them, which is...

I know Tamiya already did kits, but I'd be interested if it weren't a pan car

Turnbuckles finished up.

Wheel mockup. I'm not sold on this combo...
