Electronics wired up and tested. Speed control is a Hobbywing V3.1. When I originally bought it long ago it was listed as a standard V3.1 but when it came it was the waterproof version :roll: The waterproof version has a super short sensor cable epoxied in, external switch and a pigtail fan lead. I ...

Vice grips, a belt sander, dremmel and some patience, Trying something different on the inside of the front bulkhead instead. Certainly not that level,but making do without a CNC. Contemplating using the leftover brass to fit one under the servo if the geometry allows the servo horn and to clear the...

Copy/paste (with some edits) from my FB post on the Vonats: On to my racing. Let's start with 2wd. I raced a rere Worlds car. Everyone was saying Jconcepts Ellipses were a popular tire there, so I started off Friday practice on greens. As the groove came in I tried a set of lightly used green Dirt W...

Team Losi, advertising their Hydra-Drive system that they debuted at the 1991 IFMAR Off-Road World Championships and subsequently released to the public in 1992. The Hydra-Drive used one of three different weight oils inside an internally fluted molded plastic housing attached to the transmissions o...

Hi Dual, what a buggy! If able, could you tell me what is the length of the 3 front tower / arm support posts? Would be helpful as not having this part. Thanks in advance.

Hi Dual, what a buggy! If able, could you tell me what is the length of the 3 front tower / arm support posts? Would be helpful as not having this part. Thanks in advance. 👍🏼 Are you talking about the standoffs used to mount the camber link to the front shock tower? If so 15mm x m3 - plenty on alie...

Yes you definitely need to bring your own vintage hobby shop whenever you are running especially harder to find models. If I'm racing my B2 or b3 for instance, whichever one I'm not racing becomes my backup. Plus I have spares. For my rc10, like Reg said, spares come along and the vonats crew is pre...

You definitely want to have a good amount of spares. Especially if it's a car with a lot of custom one off stuff. And like Joe mentioned, if you don't have a lot of spares, just bring extra cars to use for backup. This is the amount of stuff I typically take to the track if I'm staying relatively cl...

This is my Traxxas TRX3 buggy: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe7QUuZz4TpKHirpVr7sjhL5gxvjjmrWZNigKpVMKK_hE9tW4MavBtqDcTFMDgJItlfE2wQpvClit3JS81oobdae4vKnDueKjhE4WABqDz1g-VASK7f9t7fRmg1J3u31RkPOsPXAHDNfwMSeop23uFRF3H4mAaPqx2BtbVUYLGKw84DyMjtUOvY7DI-bcN/w640-h350/20220806_...

Not been on here for a while or really into much RC-wise but these are too cool not to post. An old journalist friend has loaned me his album of personal pictures from the Romsey Worlds in 1987. I have seen one thread requesting pictures of this car but not much else - these shots are previously uns...

Here is the start of my ten4.1 build. Not all parts are shown and still waiting on a few parts. Chassis will be powder coated.

I've had this buggy that has lots of factory driver or factory supported parts that's essentially what factory guys were doing with the JRX Pro before the SE was released, so maybe 1989/1990 ish. Anyway the 21.5 heritage class is growing like fire because of the re re 40 car, so I thought I'd run it...

In 1999 Team Losi reinvented their 1/10 2wd off-road buggy with the release of their newest model, the XXX. Just as the Double-X buggy was a leap forward from the JRX, so to was the Triple-X compared to the Double-X, sharing only a few major components between the two vehicles. The XXX, underpinned ...

Here is what I don't understand, it's a solid rear axle...with upper and lower pods that are attached to the bearing carriers? So what effect does the watts or double watts have under compression, wrap and load? On the complete chassis with the 3 link imagine a typical pod with two lower links and ...
