A little bit of old, a little bit of new!
Some of you may have seen pictures before but I just rebuilt the shocks, tranny and painted a new body. I'm a proud Dad!
NOW THAT'S ALOT OF USE!
The blown up Hydra slipper pad that melted the NEW rare Stealth Hyper gear cover! DAMN Losi parts!

Any of you guys still use this little trick to clean your bearings the lazy mans way?

Why would you clean the bearings? Aren't those disposable?

Dude, I said "LAZY"! I don't want to remove no stinking bearings until they stop moving or blow up!

Thanks trey, it's not that hard to do. I just use masking tape on the body, draw the flames, cut the pattern with exacto, paint black, remove tape, paint red on flames and then yellow, back it all with white!

Runners are the only way to go! So much fun! I'm building one runner of each RC10 made. This is for my 25 year project (car shown is not one of them), you can only guess what I'm up to!
