This leads me to wanting to make some Wile E decals that say "ACME Drag Shocks" for craps and giggles if someone has a look under the car. Coming along nicely! If you end up getting the S's&G's decals for the shocks....I'm one of those weirdos that gets on his belly to have a look at ...

Similar, these caps are quite hard to find now and very rarely pop up for sale

This is my goal so to say albeit WAY more rusty and dented.

Nearly done..... Just gotta torque the u-bolts so I can set the car down under its own weight to measure for drive shaft length. Those Strange 1350 u-joints are pretty big, and couple them with a 3.5" driveshaft... beefy.! I don't know why those parking brake cable sleeves are orange, I'll have...

That would be a fun project....

Well, with my pile of parts it turns out I have collected enough parts to put together 90% of another truck. I always liked the looks of Kyosho ST's, so this is the hodgepodge I came up with. 20240228_230814.jpg It's basically left over Tra**as parts so you really couldn't call it a Kyosho. However,...

Titans of CNC is interesting, both in what they do and Titans life story.

I tend to mainly use scissors to cut out my bodies but the Xacto gives a much cleaner finish. If your using the Xacto break off just the tip of the blade, this prevents it from wandering and gives you more control. When cutting a body with an Xacto support the body on the corner of the table and wor...

Your steering servo appears to be plugged in backwards, the yellow wire should be on the inside pin.

Does the truck roll if you push it?

I would take the motor back out and see if it works as normal outside the truck. If it works fine then I would say something is binding in the driveline.

I always liked this video.. it's sort of a cross between currently watching and playing.

However, who doesn't love Lordi and an F1 car made for the dirt

Someone say springs?

I bought 15 pairs of springs so surely I can find 4 that work

Still waiting on the driveshaft to be made..... I tried to get these stickers modified slightly but haven't had much luck with the local printers, so I gave up and decided to just put the originals on. They fit and look ok... Wonder if someone would get a chuckle if they noticed...... 20240308_23565...

Good fund-raising opportunity, RC10 Talk calendar?

Gearbox time !! I bought another 4620 diff for this truck and I attempted to drill out the output shafts which I wanted to do with my race SRT. Needless to say it turned out a lot better then I was expecting. 20240309_221441.jpg This diff feels better than the other two tra**as diffs that I built, g...

The early tra**as gear cover wouldn't fit so I had to come up with another option, why not try a B4 gear cover of all things? Sure enough it fit with a bit of drilling and tapping and it clears a large 87 tooth spur so plenty of gear options. 20240309_224312.jpg I'm not sure if this will be the moto...
