Ill start with this eBay find- nice slipper arrangement and how do you part the case? Both sides are welded

no problem as long as the outdrive bearing doesn't go south. have to use a trick allen key to get in there and loosen the bolt. how do you change the thrust bearing? worse, what did the heat from welding do to the bearing, diff balls and diff rings? ugh.

Now how do ya get bearings in those? Lol

I think the sweet tires that were on my GP-10 when I got it qualify as fail...



...especially combined with the battery straps on top of the top deck instead of underneath, and the packing tape holding the electronics in place. And I haven't even shown you guys the underside of this thing. It looks like someone attacked it with a belt sander.

Here's a couple gem's I've posted around here before. Both worthy of this thread.
This was originally an RC1-


And here some turkey tried to run the motor straight off the receiver-

Ahh, FINALLY! A place for me to put all my threads...

This thread is going to be great. We are all going to feel a bit better about ourselves now.

I had to swap computers to get my photos, so sorry for the multiple posts. I tried to make a wheelie bar out of gold pan trimmings because I installed a Mamba Max 5700 in a RC10. Epic fail on the wheelie bar, universals, and tranny

I guess the skate park did help either

Never mind it's a cheese grater, the one hole he forgot is the one for the steering servo horn lol!

That one makes me smile.

I will leave the fun for you guys on this one. Besides the coat of paint all over it, do you see something else that isn't quite right? I do and why anyone would do it boggles my mind

I was going to bid on that one...but I already had too many Ultimas. But none of mine has an astute trans.
