The Dom arrived and is in better condition than I’d ever hoped. Just needs a thorough cleaning. The poor thing’s been neglected and needs a little TLC. I’ll use this thread to chronicle the restoration and ask any questions I have. Feel free to...

I always wondered but never asked what that was in Thumbs avatar. Sweetness.
There has been a bit of recent resurgence of Dominator IV cars on eBay and it got me to thinking...
1. All the early ads for the Dominator in ~'89 had yellow plastic. I've never seen single yellow spare parts, so I assume the car used in the ad was...

The Dec '87 RCCA review of the Dominator mentions the right side slots. Also, unless we're talking about different yellow wheels, I thought the early Dominators used Yoke 834b wheels.
I was browsing google the other day and came across a picture of my old Dominator. I always regretted selling that car even though I thought I got pretty good money for it at the time. I'll have to dig up my photo's of the car. It was one hell of a...

I still have mine - one of Jim Deiter's cars - in fact it has the same orange wheels as yours.
Do you happen to have any pics you can share? :mrgreen:
Did or do you know Dieter? I ran at a couple of his local tracks in the Joliet area as a...
Here's a Custom Works Dominator I finally built after having it sit for a few years. I replaced all the plastic pieces, polished the metal parts and added Houge diff sprockets and new chains.
I used a re-wired Novak T-1X, NER-2X, NES-1A and...

I feel like if you don't make up a set of silicone caps to put on it, it just isn't complete. Don't get me wrong, it's an absolutely AMAZING build! I always wanted one of these in spite of never racing dirt oval, nor having a dirt oval track...
I picked up a sizable vintage collection today from a from a guy who was a hobby shop owner and a dirt oval racer bitd. This is one of the cars in the collection. I dont have any knowledge of dirt oval racing or Custom Works cars. He told me that...

I know the Kyosho cage was popular for a while in the midwest to get rid of the metal cages. It would be consistent for someone to use the Kyosho cage while developing a car.
I picked this up recently from the OSRC Facebook group. I did a light restoration because the car is in such great condition. It came with a Barracuda slipper eliminator also. I have a new lexan cell cradle on the way. And I'm trying to find a white...

Great car Dave! Wish I would have bought when I 1st saw it on OSRC.
Picked this up for myself (NIB), It's a Custom Works Enforcer-10 Sprint conversion for the RC10. It uses the RC10 Stealth or 6 gear, RC10 rear suspension and rear shocks. I thought it might be a silver flecked chassis, turned out to be even better-...

What an awesome build! What's the idea on the trans spacer? More dog bone plunge?
I am just curious and hope that one of the members either is in the know or might know someone in the know. Who does/did Custom Works body molds? Where they done by hand or by some sort of CNC process. I am curious as if you really think about the...

Anyone know another manufacture that carries the same hinge pin dia as Custom Works? AE and Losi are too big. The CW pins have been on back order for a long while and I am missing a couple. I've got tons of loose pins, but haven't been able to find...
Since picking this up on craigslist last week as part of a misc rc cleanup lot, I've decided to learn a bit more about it and clean'er up and get it running. I'll decide later if I end up selling it.
The roller with wheels/tires is sold to a forum...

WOW! I have yet to see a rc car that made me stop, gasp then say wholey crap but this one did it.
Hah, thanks guys, I appreciate the compliments. Yes I really liked how it turned out with the blue body and wheels, too, but now that...
Picked up a dominator and trying to determine which wheels are age appropriate. Were they just using yok wheels? Is it new enough for the spoked CW wheels? If anyone has an age appropriate wheel/tire combo for it I would also be interested. Once I...

If you just want some runner wheels I have some I can sell you cheap from this Dominator project I have.
New is best but sometimes you gotta take what you can get! Are yours foams or rubber? Wheels in decent shape?
Here is my recently acquired Intimidator. I plan to get it up and running as close to period correct as possible, a Tekin 411P esc, Futaba 1024 PCM Radio gear, a Trinity Dirt Oval Motor and some Sanyo 1300 Nicd Cells. Don't know which body yet, but...

Needs a set of white wheeled s'cones and a batwedge body with a big silly side damn!
Hi all, I'm new to the forum and wanted to share pics of a couple of goodies I just picked up a few weeks ago. I just got 2 Custom Works Dominators in very good condition with spares and lots of tires. As an added bonus I was given an old Kraft...

Best AM radio ever. Still have my first one from 1983. And it still works perfectly.

Got this recently off the bay. I have been looking for an old school sprinter to add to my collection... Finally found one for what I thought was reasonable.
Came with all vintage electronics, Novak M something esc, 2 new Reedy Sonic mod motors, a...

:) I know, just wanted to see it mounted. Still haven't pulled my finger out to order one of those for my custom projects :oops:
Has anyone been to their site lately? www.customworksrc.com I know I've been there at least once in the last couple of months, but it hasn't been working lately. Just curious :?

I have great memories of the Dominator I had back in the early '90s. Didn't know anything about it except - put a modified motor in and try and hold on. It would be cool to have a Dominator on the shelf - if I could afford to do that sort of thing.
Here's one of my latest purchase. They came in separate auctions from the same seller who poorly listed them and got the lot for very few bucks. I mainly bought them for the electronics: NER-2S receiver, NES-1A servo and a almost brand new Reedy...

Amazing find! Those cars were called The Dominator for good reason. I was a 2wd lowered and converted buggy oval racer in the early nineties. One day a guy showed up to the track with a Dominator. It was like a rocket ship on rails compared to the...
I don't know why I'm going to attempt this, or what my plans are with this car, but it's too gnarly to let it go. I picked up a package deal a few months ago for a Custom Works Dominator roller with a boatload of spares. The main car was relatively...

hey, sometimes it's fun to just clean em' up and put and put em' back together. not having to worry about nip this and nip that. that crap starts to get old after awhile. for me anyway. :wink:
