Therigliveson's Garage

Thought I'd post up some of my projects over the years here in a place I can keep them organized...somewhat. Starting off with my Cadillac rebuild in it's various guise.

Got my all of these in a Craigslist lot with my RC10...been slowly restoring/resto-modding each. The Merc is a Bolink Eliminator 10, the FX10 was my first "hobby grade" car BITD...I'm a sucker for nostalgia. The Blackfoot was a great original, just needed cleaned up and painted. I hope I don't upset anyone, but I have to say the Losi might be my favorite in this JRX-Pro theme. Had to throw in the o.g. Rustler...it's old school with all black chassis parts.

After a long time away from R/C I got back into it when the crawling scene was taking off. Here's a couple from throughout the years. First up was my home built comp rig, complete with a Stampede tranny and 2/3 battery pack! Then that truck became a scaler. Had a Losi MRC for a blink of an eye. Next I moved on to the Wheely King platform, never ran it stock...and didn't keep it the same very long. My most recent crawler morphed into an old school MT based on a G-Made Sawback...yep, it sits on a shelf.

Let's call this the best of the rest. SC10.3 buggy conversion, Bigfoot collection...it was a phase, Yeti SCORE, Lazer ZX5, LST and vintage Nitro Rustler.

Lately I've been all over the place...mainly an itch for speed.

It's just a run of the mill Street Outlaw Slash-ish build from the remnants of the old school Rustler I picked up in a CL lot. Really nothing special, but parking lot drag racing is picking up in my area and I didn't want to miss the boat.

Been busy during the COVID shutdown.
-Sticker bombed and made a wheely bar for my old school Bolink for basher duty/no prep.
-Injora chassis Jeep project, making the cantilever rear suspension was a chore.
-Converted my LST2 to brushless...it's a beast on 6s!
-Picked up an HPI RS4 Sport 3 Creator's Edition and v8 swapped a bug.
-Just finished up a vintage LXT, still waiting for a TBG body and MCI stickers, lots of SabulaTech goodies on this one.

COVID has kept me busy for sure...wrapped up a TRX4 in honor of my namesake, "The Rig" and I finished up a Sledgehammer with a tribute body.

Basket case RC10T restoration and a look at the shelf as it sits now.

Covid has been tough on the wallet! Trying to keep up, but I didn't even take pics of my Mystery Machine Lunchbox, Tamiya Street Devil, or the Team C no prep car I'm wrapping up!
