I'm probably too RC motivated as it skews my priorities, which I
I know is wrong. My wife will probably divorce me before not too long. I've done RC every day of my life for the past 25 years, I don't know any different. I have a couple of full size cars that are partially restored and need attention which should be my priority. I guess once I get back to a happy place in RC I'll concentrate on the full size cars. I've probably got about 10 cars to finish up to get to that point.
I only loose motivation when parts become difficult to find.

that's where i'm at. gotta focus on the big toys awhile. stuff is finally getting done to my 55 chevy for the first time in 10-11 years. hopefully, i'll be driving it next year.

That's where I was at last summer, but this summer the spending money just hasn't been there--for either 1:1 or 1:10 cars. The only thing I could afford to do this summer is restore the Charger's heater box.
for many.... many years, my car was buried. i couldn't work on it even if i wanted to. well, there's no excuse for it now. my dad purchased 2 4 posts lifts for the pole building so my car is up off the ground. all i have to do is pull the car out from under it, and drop it down. now, working in the pole barn isn't ideal (minimal lighting and no air compressor...yet). but i can always drag it up into "scr8p's shop" with the tractor.
ya, they're nice. right now they're really just for storage. but eventually, we'll get some more lights, oulets, as well as a compressor down there so we can actually work in there.
i kinda wish he would've bought at least one 2 post lift. it would've made taking bodies off frames, and putting them back on a whole lot easier.
nice collection .. whats under the cover ? we work on alot of the older and custom cars at the shop http://autofunctions.ca/Home.html .. ive been building cars before i could drive .. would love to build a 55 shoebox
I've been working on my Tamiya HotShot re-re and I think I'm about halfway done. Problem is, I've kind of gotten into a bit of a funk with RC. Just don't feel like doing anything with it right now. I still like reading about what you guys are doing...

MN weather doesn't help much either.
At least you have a team in the playoffs to watch :shock: :( I'm in an RC rut, and I have no team.

What I mean is, what is the proper technique when you are trying to jump your car over a hump? I've been experimenting just on my driveway and hitting the grass (has a slight incline), and a few times I got it right and the car sailed over the bump,...

It's a great passing and counter passing technique too 8)
I am currently putting a stealth CE runner together... with a Protech body, which I like so much more than the Viper. The body was painted before being 100% cut, however now I am struggling to cut the body to clear the rear shocks without...

Body was cut... a bit of a hack job in the end really as it has to be removed/put back on easily , will post pics soon. I'm soooo excited as this'll be my first rc10 runner :mrgreen:
I have some shock bodies that I'm probably going to stip the anodizing off because they are already loosing the color due to shock springs rubbing and general use. I would get them powdercoated but I'm afraid that the coating would interfere with...

If you have access to a drill press this is an excellent kit for polishing
so i converted my original ball bearing gold pan to a mild brushless setup with a stock AE 3300kv brushless and xp BL speed controller that were brand new takeoffs from some newer AE kit. I got a 2s/4000mah battery for it and that cheap flysky...
