Re: ** Build of the Month Contest - January 2025 ** - Winner - coxbros1

This is sort of a What's old is new but also a ReRe , this definitely could have been done and is inspired by the A+L trailing arm conversions , it uses ReRe Kyosho Scorpion rear trailing arms mounted to the back of a Yokomo 834b ReRe . This allows some camber change as the wheel rises plus a little...

Re: The next rere... a GT?!!

I reckon if you're interested in building a mid-motor electric stadium truck, then this release is for you. However, from the video, it seems that AE wants to help racers revive vintage nitro truck racing. If AE is serious, they really should do what they can to help customers source reasonably pric...

Re: The next rere... a GT?!!

If AE is serious, they really should do what they can to help customers source reasonably priced nitro engines that drop in with no modifications. Engine availability will certainly impact sales for the new GT. Sorry for stating the obvious. :oops: I'd venture a guess that a motor will become avail...

Re: Plazma Limited - Last 1/12 Re-Release?

I've built half a dozen plazmas & Fantoms ... and have run into tough spots on a number of builds... I think this is one of those times where I think there is about a 0% chance of me getting this right before I lose both springs & every e-clip in the kit. I can put the e-clip on OR I can hol...

Re: Plazma Limited - Last 1/12 Re-Release?

The trick is, as I was saying, to do the top first where the spring pinches the e clip against the block, then you don't need to worry so much about it flying away. I then move the kingpin until I can feel the clip "find" the groove, and from there your just pushing it in. You shouldn't ne...

Re: Plazma Limited - Last 1/12 Re-Release?

Oh good... I feel better now ... When I was 14, I could build a Kyosho buggy or pancar practically without even needing the manual...Not only is my vision making it a lot harder, what's worse are these these newer cars that come assembled with only an exploded view & no step-by-step assembly in...

Re: ** Build of the Month Contest - January 2025 ** - Winner - coxbros1

Not super vintage but it's Associated first official 4wd buggy. This is an early kit which has been raced a couple seasons on carpet and put away just as you see it, there is still carpet fuzz in the wheels.

Re: ** Build of the Month Contest - January 2025 ** - Winner - coxbros1

This is a recreation of my late 80s Blackfoot. I put it back to the specs i raced it like back than, including the Lemans 240ST motor. It was the golden era of rc and this was one of my more memorable rc vehicles. Display body includes 5 coats of automotive clear. Messenger_creation_219B7354-C3BD-49...

Re: Plazma Limited - Last 1/12 Re-Release?

If it helps, work with your hands and components in a gallon ZipLoc or freezer bag as you put on the circlips. If you send one to the moon, the bag almost always catches it.

Re: Yokomo 1991 (Super)Rat(Fighter) build

During 2019 I overworked it for running, mostly after lawn mowing my garden. Fortunatelly I never broke any of the fragile composite parts. I left the Tamiya Egress shocks and Kyosho Lazer wing mount. Why not. One day maybe I will install it's ugly slotted diff covers back again. I never threw away ...

Re: So what did you get in the post today ???

My works 91 just got dropped off. Wasn't supposed to be here until Tuesday. Had the Flu this week so I kind of forgot about it.
