Rails are something I designed for myself and had cut by sendcutsend





Sendcutsend customs!

I love this mat. Worth every penny [emoji23]

Dude. I installed it, calibrated everything and set the settings, and the glitchyness happens after reversing moderately. [emoji31]

I see, rails look sweet. Good idea on using Sendcutsend for that!

Found a decent price on a 4ws Capra roller on eBay… saved about $200 by not paying for parts I won’t be using anyway.

Since I already have a GK, I picked up the builder's kit to run the Interceptor rails.

I'll make a thread on it some time when I'm set on the parts I'll run.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...79030c6f00.jpg

Saw this little pup badly advertised in the depths of Facebook Marketplace, part of a job lot including a SCX10.2 Cherokee, 7 lipos, a DX5C, a DX5C, loads of spare parts, wheels, tyres and all for $365 so had to snap it up.

It’s basically a MST CFX with a Rastar Discovery hardbody, been really nicely done to be honest.

Definitely one for the shelf!

The screws/bolts, nuts, and wheels package from LockedUp RC, for my "Mad Max" vehicle, arrived today.
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ff91f9d526.jpgUnfortunately, they won't be in my possession for too long, as I'll be shipping them off to Rusty Kustoms within the next few days, where they'll be getting some "special treatment".

Sweet, Panther. Out of the sets of wheels I have, my Locked Up set is probably my favorite.

Thanks. Have LURC (SLW) wheels on another vehicle. These are my first 8L wheels from him. Felt they were THE most appropriate for this project.

Same here. Unfortunately we will have to wait until my next paycheck. Not going to be anything 'crazy'...just a simple flat black on most of the components. Will post 'updated' photo after getting them back.

Just picked up the new release from LEGO. As a kid playing with LEGO's and watching James Bond was great memories and now the two have merged together!

Here in the past year, I've been buying the grandkids LEGO sets whenever they come to stay all night and that has re-sparked my interest in LEGO. So when I would buy them a set, I'd buy myself one of these LEGO Speed Champion sets to build and collect. Fun little kits and are getting as addictive as my R/C's!:ror:

Oh that is cool. I haven't paid attention to Legos much anymore. Like you, Legos were a huge part of my childhood. 007 I didn't really become a fan of till I was in my teens though. So cool you have grandkids to build Legos with. My kids are lame, don't want my help anymore lol.

That's cool. I'm also a Bond fanatic. I'll give you a couple of "bonus photos". This past week, a was driving for The Quail (driving the event staff shuttle), and the Concourse d'Elegance (driving for Lamborghini)...and, at The Quail, a certain DB5 was on display.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...bf22d1b200.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d6406524ed.jpg
Granted, a few of these were used in "Goldfinger" - this one has the working (raising/lowering) 'bulletproof' shield, and the spinning 'machine guns'.

Grandpa was a big fan of Bond and Sean Connery so he always had it on when I was little. I grew up in the Roger Moore Bond days, so that is what I remember watching mostly.

I do still have all of my LEGO's from when I was little. They were packed away for years until the grandson got interested in Star Wars and then LEGO's. Now he likes to build the Star Wars LEGO's and doesn't need or ask for much help much.

Got LOTS more photos (including a few more of the DB5)...but, I will admit, most of them are is Lamborghinis. I'll pay some of the photos in the 'Cool Photos' thread later today, while my clients are at their lunch.

Big thanks to @Phyro and @Goro Majima for re-sparking my search for the HPI FJ Cruiser clear body. I've been searching for one with no luck for awhile now.

By dumb luck, I clicked on RPP's website to see if they even sold HPI items, and to my surprise they had a brand new clear FJ body in stock! I quickly thru it in my cart and checked out before they became unicorns again!

The plan is to get this trimmed and mounted on my Element Enduro Sendero that has been sitting idle in the garage for over a year now. Stay tuned for updates!

It’s not here yet but it’ll be shipped soon!

I was lucky enough to get one of the first rc speedy c3! It’s fully built and waiting on options to ship

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ae12044de1.jpg

It is vs410 pro based with no dig servo. I’m hoping to build it as a trail pig once it’s done
