You two (maybe not Jeff) might be surprised at my tolerance to alcohol, then again since its never above freezing in NS or Ontario you might just get more in you before it evaporates

Sweet! Pink and Black are mine right?
That other pic, I have to clean up the battery slots with a file or Dremel. Looks pretty bad in the pic! I did put in the one way and the belt from Reggie, as you can see!

Yup, yours are the pink and black ones. The blue ones are for my RC10L and green, of course, is for my 870c. Wont be long before we have them at the track together

This is where I'm at!
Made a belt tensioner with some flanged bearings and some Tamiya wheel shims!
Narrowed up some Losi 2.0 Step Pins for the front! Added AE titanium tunbuckles and AE Team shocks F&R!

So you have seen my wide armed "mod" runner. This is where I'm at with the "stock" runner! Re built the factory shocks and used green slime on the single o-rings. They are buttery smooth and do not leak! Added a vintage Yokomo stock motor and some vintage electronics! This car will be run will all original electronics and tires from back in the day, with the exception of a 3600 SMC battery pack!

I don't know where that came from! It was on my work bench, must be Tiffany's!
