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

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

They made some cool changes to the c3, should be a sweet ride when you get it done.

Stopped at the lbs to pick up some axles to fix one of the kids truck. Also came out with a scx24 for me and the bronco for the wife. Now on order new wheels and picked up tires at the lbs. Also got some new bumpers and links coming.

Purchased a gazebo from Costco earlier in the spring. As of today its finally done. 6 weeks of building it a few hours at a time on my days off. Now just waiting for the hot tub to show up.

Dash kit for my F150 to replace the factory 4” radio to a 6.8” touchscreen. Found it on eBay auction and got it nearly half price.

Next is the head unit, amp, and sub[emoji1417]

Had knee surgery last Tuesday (medial meniscus tear), and will be out of work for a couple weeks. What is one to do when recovering from surgery, unable to drive, and very limited in walking for most of the first week? Why, but/build an inexpensive RC, of course. The chosen kit: Tamiya Buggyra Fat Fox Racing Truck (on a TT-01E chassis).

The chassis is mostly completed, with a few Tamiya 'Hop-Up' parts (bearings, hex screws, prop shaft, steering)...but, will be getting partially (mostly?) disassembled/reassembled when the rest of the 'Hop-Ups' arrive. I'm figuring, at this rate, the chassis should be completed right about the time I'm returning to work.

Decided it was time to add to the die cast car collection. It's been some time since I've picked up anything. Theses days it's hard to find 1/18 scale locally. I use to find them all the time. But over the years stores have went out of business. So I guess I'll resort to online.

Not really purchased yet, but the order placed.

Screen Shot 2022-09-01 at 2.34.24 PM by JASON MCKIMMEY, on Flickr

Details:

Half doors and full doors
Willys package
heavy duty electrical kit and tow package
6 speed manual
Rollup windows and manual locks

Now just the wait. This is the 3rd Jeep I have owned. The first one was a '74 CJ5 with a AMC 360 in it. It was fun and I regret selling it. A 2013 loaded Wrangler unlimited Rubicon with a manual that I ended up trading for a 4runner because it was having some electrical issues, and now this. Hopefully it will be less trouble than the '13. I like the 4runner but I really need to be in a manual before you can't get one any more.

I thought it was a model till I got to the "HD electrical" part lol. I'm still driving my 2008 manual Rubicon 2 door and I feel like one of the last of a dying breed. Have to say though that all my Jeeps have been manuals and without a doubt a ton of fun to drive. Having that complete control whether on the street or the trail or even rock-crawling, is a game changer. Nothing beats being able to scoot around in a manual transmission short wheelbase imo. I just sold my 4runner a couple months ago and I miss it a little but not much. My Jeep on the other hand... gonna be hard to ever let it go.

Congratulations! Really cool that you built it with the half-door option too.

It was announced last year...but wasn't released until a could months ago. Even then, getting one varied from "very difficult", to "near impossible". My primary LHS couldn't even get any from his usual distributors. When that happens, what does one do then? Order direct, from the manufacturer, of course. So, that's exactly what then do owner did. However, even though this kit has been highly anticipated, he's not yet she how well it will sell, so he ordered 2 for the shop to sell...plus a third, specifically for me.

What am I talking about??? The new Tamiya XV-02 Pro Chassis Kit, of course (ok...maybe not "of course"...but, no one can deny that I'd hasn't been one of the 'Top 3' most anticipated kits from Tamiya this past year). Last week, they finally arrived...and, I have mine. As of yesterday, one of the other two was already sold, with the second having an "interested party" while I was there picking mine up.

Looking forward to the build...but, first, must obtain a few 'Hop-Up'parts. Interestingly, unlike many (most? lol) other Tamiya kits, this kit includes hex screws, ball bearings, oil shocks (sorry, Tamiya..."dampers"), and sealed (oil) diffs. Actually, it includes three diff ring gears - two 39T, and one 40T (50/50 front rear, OD front, or OD rear). Also unlike many other Tamiya kits, this kit does NOT include ANY electronics - no ESC, no motor.

There is no 'non-Pro' version, although they could release one (without any included 'Hop-Up' parts). Included 'Hop-Ups' consist of front & rear Universal Drive Shafts, front & rear Oil Great Differentials (with metal (not plastic) spider gears, the aforementioned 40T & two 39T ring gears), front & rear TRF dampers, front & rear aluminum propeller shafts (more on that in a sec), aluminum servo mount, Hi-Torque Servo Saver, and the previously mentioned bearings.

The reason to noting the "front & rear propeller shafts" (for those not familiar with Tamiya 4WD kits) is because Tamiya it's known for rear-mounted motors that use a long, single, propeller shaft (ie. center drive shaft) to connect the spur to the front diff. The XV-01 used a front-mounted motor w/ motor in front of front shock tower, and a belt to drive the rear. In the case of the XV-02 chassis, the motor is just behind the front shock tower, with a center-mounted Direct Drive, and two shorter propellers turning the front & rear diff (like the Limitless/Infraction).

On, ok, ok...I know I probably shouldn't have done this...but, it was too good of a 'deal' to pass up. With the 4Tec 3.0 Corvette speed run car coming along nicely (mostly due to a buddy of mine (Richie, aka Driftomaniacs), I felt it was time to finally acquire the chassis for the next (large scale) speed run car - an Arrna Limitless V2.

Sure, I probably won't start it until the holiday season (although I WILL acquire some of the needed parts before then)...but, between the Labor Day Sale at one of my LHSs, combined with my accumulated in-store rewards credit, my out-the-door price (incl tax) was only $280. How could anyone pass up a deal like that?

OG SCX10 I traded AR60s and $100 for. I’ve always wanted an OG just to experience it. Definitely gonna do a refresh on it lol. Also got some Axial Trail Grapplers with Element Ochos.

My buddy has a stock dingo kit and it is a fun truck to drive. As long as you don’t expect it to be on the same level as current platforms.

Very cool rig man

bunch of shit for my 1:1 as I had to replace the intake gasket, then a brake line, then the ignition module all with in 8 days. Still need to do the exhaust manifolds on both sides, and the pads and shoes on the rear brakes.

Changing the oil now in it.

then for RC I got a few items recently.

Body for the Monster Mash build




Need to do a bit of tweaking to a few things on this vs410 sliders and battery plate, but should be able to make it work. But on the sliders, May just end up taking them off and doing up a set of metals to fit.

Just some goodies for a restoration project I'm going to be starting soon.

New stuff just got dropped off at the shop.

Ordered another whip antennae from Bad Andy at Twisted Tree RC. This cool little springy whip will be going on my Enduro FJ Cruiser http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/elem...uck-sendero/609932-b-mows-enduro-journey.html

He has many different style whip tops to chose from. Also can customize the color and to the length desired.

Also picked up some Twisted Tree firewood bundles to take on our next camping trip! And a Twisted Tree velcro patch to put on my Tacoma headliner.

Picked up an ecto body for a Capra axle based 4ws project I’ve been working on…

A friend and I took advantage of the 2 for $500 Drag Slash offer from Traxxas and I went and picked mine up today. We were originally going to go for black (me) and red (friend) but since both were on back order, we went for Blue and Green, respectively.


He’s thinking about ordering one of their Fox Mustang bodies, but have no idea what I’m going to do yet.

Shopped a new direct powered servo for my Gen8 4Runner and luckily came across the 3BRC G13 Pro preorder today only which saves $10.

 

[Panther6834]

Today's collection is a real humdinger. To kick things off, a collection of super-fine carbon fiber parts from BasherQueen to for my Limitless V2 speedrun build.

Next up, a collection of (mostly Tamiya Hop-Up) parts for the Tamiya XV-02 Pro Rally Chassis I'm building. The one (technically, two) exception(s) are the two SSD bags in the lower-left corner...although designed as "threaded king pins for Losi LMT", they are actually going to be used on the Limitless (yeah, I know...'strange'...but, that's what modding is all about, right?).
