So, what did you do RC today?

[MarkyDents]

Picked up a Yokomo. It's a YZ10 body shell, but I have no idea if its a YZ10 or an 870, or if there's a difference. It has a 1 way bearing for the front belt pulley if that makes a difference.

The wheels and tires look adorable on it
The car looks like it’s in great condition, body looks to be pro executed…. Any signature on it ??

Yes, they are cute little foam tires. They're even on rims intended for foam tires, not off-road rims.

The body is very well done but is not signed.

Finished up these 2 Re-releases. It was a busy weekend.

Built the transmission for an upcoming Traxxas based project.

Hot Racing case with a rebuilt diff, Drag Race Concepts aluminum drive gear, and Hot Racing aluminum idle gear. All shimmed to reduce endplay.

I used an old style hex input shaft so that the old style slipper could be used. It just looks cooler than the Revo style.

RPM gear cover and Tamiya TZ motor finish it up.

Are those Hot Racing doodabs readily available?

Yes.

That hex input shaft is the only thing that isn't.

Over the last few days I've been resurrecting a few old and worn parts.
Filing, sanding and polishing, polishing, polishing...
More hours than I care to admit.
My Litesink is the same one I used when I raced my Houge RC10 in the 80's-90's.
Never really been happy with the way the Litesink turned out after the last couple anodizing attempts. 3 or more since new.
My guess is that the aluminum was not the best quality.
Last time I dyed the Litesink I used Rit dye. This try will be with Caswell dye and nickel acetate sealant.

I started a remodel on my Granddaughter's RC track. I picked up some scrap plastic gasline to replace the steel posts. They will be over soon to grab shovel's and start building jumps. I'm doing my part to inspire the next generation of RC enthusiasts

[radioactivity]

Did some anodizing...
Turned out pretty nice.
The rounded part on the top of the "radiator" of the Litesink was to clear a body I once had on the car.

Old motor mount - new ( refurbed Litesink) motor mount

The combo will be going back on my Houge before long.
