Section, FROADER..............updates???;) Attended my first local comp of the year last weekend, but due to very limited practice time on my comp rig, ran into a bunch of problems when it mattered.:( Ended up 5th out of eleven for the event, but with some minor tweeks, I should be able...

I almost starting losing interest in crawling there for awhile, as I got caught up in drifting. But then I ran across this thing.................. TOO freaking cool!! I got a build up thread going on over at RCC: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=103656

1BJB definitely has some mad skills when it comes to the scale stuff! His entire RC collection is just amazing!:eek: Strange part is...............he is only 22 years old...............i.e., he wasn't even alive when the original Hilux came out!! "feeding the kid in me" is the only excuse...

Oh, I know exactly where you are coming from Jeff.:thumbsup: Going more with realism has become a major aspect of RC crawling over the past 1-2 years, and it's popularity continues to grow everyday. Up until about two years ago, everyone wanted the biggest, most unrealistic, RC rig that they...

I have one (in parts) sitting out in the shop. Definitely one of the greatest RCs ever produced. Mechanically, they are simply fascinating to look at.............even more to actually drive. I took the long approach of getting one at a decent price, but it may be worth it to you. I picked...

Right Now: Associated TC4 Reedy 17T Motor with 23/72 gearing (stock) HPI wheels with ABS (drain pipe) tires Volvo S40 body By next weekend: Novak XBR Sport 10.5 Brushless motor and ESC HPI T-Drift tires on Associated 8-spoke wheels (the ones in the first pic) Parma (maybe) Lincoln LS...

Although more partial to crawling, I did discover a whole new world of RC fun over the weekend..................................drifting!!!:thumbsup: If the concept of drifting is new to you, or more specifically RC drifting, just head on over to youtube and search "RC drifting" to get an...

Kinda sorta.;) Unfortunately, back in the '80s, Tamiya subbed-out a large portion (the good stuff) of the parts/components that came with the original 3-speeds (Blazin Blazer, Hilux, Bruiser, and Mountaineer). In the 21st century, most of the designs, molds, and tooling of these parts are no...

Looking Great Froader!!:thumbsup: The HPI Bronco body is really nice! Thick lexan and plenty of detail. An excellent overall body, and easily available. The Proline FJ40 (as pictured) is long since discontinued unfortunately.:( They replaced it with the "Bushwacker" body, which is...

Corey @ RPP is one helluva guy!!!:thumbsup: The AX-10 is a GREAT deal out of the box! In fact, many RCC clubs have created an AX-10 "spec" class, which run only stock AX-10s with limited modifications. I picked up a pair of AX-10 axles and a tranny earlier this week. They will be under...

Jeff, you may be in luck, if the straight-bed Tamiya version will suit you. If you have looked at the pricing of the original Tamiya 3-speed bodies these days, you know they aren't cheap..............and most are missing mirrors, headlight buckets, etc. But....... Tamiya just released the...

Gas is good!!:thumbsup:

Just a reminder to all that as the Winter/Cold season comes upon us............this is the perfect time to play with scale rigs! Radio controlled rock crawlers and scale off-roaders have come a LONG WAY in the past couple of years, so if you ever interested in playing around in the past, you...

Weird, I pop up after so long, and the thread at the top of chat is one started back in my day. I realized that I did post in this thread, but only to be a smarta$$, and not to answer the original question. My wife and I were about two weeks short of our 7 year dating anniversary when we...

Not too many changes in my life for the past while. Closed up my family biz back in late '05, moved on to an unhappy job for a few months, then hooked up with a great firm that I have been with for about 20 months now and really liking it. My wife and I tried to have another child in '06...

Received, and THANKS Ben!!!!:thumbsup:

Back in the day, I posted a thread in the mod forum called, "The Truth About My Son," or something along those lines. Somewhere in that thread (I think it was in that thread), I wrote out a letter I had received from a family friend in reference to my dad and my first child. If it wasn't that...

Hey Josh, I have a set of Warn shafts with CTMs sitting around somewhere we can probably work out a deal on. If you are interested, shoot me an email and I will dig them out this weekend. Truck looks nice!!!

That ain't Japanese. ;)

Nice Work Matt!! "Rememberance" tatts are my favorite, since all express a love or connection that can only be truly understood by the owner of the tatt. Our dog has been there for us through many a hard time, while being a true friend the entire time. I have little doubt that I will one day...

Kind of a re-release of the old 3-speed "Hilux" rigs that many of us grew up with. The "scale" and "crawler" RC crowds have been waiting for Tamiya to come out with something like this for years. MUCH more plastic, and no where near as realistic as the old 3-speeds, but a fine "scale" truck...

Truck looks great Josh!!! :thumbsup: Good to see it went to someone that would appreciate it!!! ;)

Thanks for the wiki link link Justin............that threw a little more info than I had. :thumbsup: I never put the connection to the Jag-S together, but always thought they looked similar. Anyone have any personal experience with this motor? TIA

Hey guys.........been a while. I know a few of you are Ford engine fanatics, so I thought I would drop by and ask for your opinions. I bought myself an LS with a DOHC 3.9L, and I know absolutely NOTHING about this engine! Just wanted to see if some of you guys know of any good resources for...

You mean post civil war America?
