Lane assist is a tool to keep you from running off the road, This caught me off guard the first time I drove a car that was smart, my cars are all too dumb to even tell you if your seatbelt isn't fastened..... But I found the fact that when you veer into the next lane to avoid parked cars on the si...

Feeling nostalgic... this takes me back to the roller skating rink..

Nothing beats high downforce and big power when your car is hooked up !!

That's gotta be a Thumbs family home movie, surely....

Nothing like a good family photo

Since the pullstart has no relation to the glow plug the only thing I can think of is the one way bearing is sticking to the starting shaft or somehow getting stuck when it's put under the load of compression. Take it off and clean it in some type of cleaner, take note of the direction of the bearin...

Driver B puts the same car together but cleans out the bearings, free's the car up, preps the tires etc... Driver A can't figure out why driver B's car is so much...

Errbody in the club get drinks

Now we just need OS to re re the CZ.

At first I was like WTF but that’s a pretty cool kit.

Traxxas wheels? Did you machine the cut outs?

The OS engines have/had big pull starts so something like a Force engine with a smaller pull start wouldn't be nearly as bad. The header on the other hand wo...

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.
