So, what did you do RC today?

When it's R/C related, but doesn't fit anyplace else.

Yes. 1:10 scale RC, 2WD, full interior, detailed chassis, suspension, 390 engine, C6 transmission, single exhaust system, etc.

Nice work! Have to see the build thread on these. Are those metal hood hinges?

Thanks again.
Actually, apart from windows, light lenses, and tires, everything you see is ABS.
For the photos, I've fitted some quickly made lexan struts in place of hinge springs to hold the hood open -- until my extension springs arrive.
So, I guess they're really not yet "finished" but I almost never get a project this close.

Those look incredible! Would've liked to see a build thread on both of these. Are they RC?

That's a nice pair of trucks! Really like the details!
Consistency is the key I keep misplacing.

Car only had about 5x 5min runs on it with a 13.5 on turf. Slipper was set properly.
The Optima Mid was one of my top contenders when I was in the market for a 4WD buggy. Ultimately, I ended up getting a YZ-10 instead (and then a RC10 4WD). Seeing this makes me think that I made the right decision.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.
