  1. Sounds like my Traxxas Stampede and Tamiya M-03 chassis Mini Cooper when I tried running those with 3 cell Lithium-Polimer batteries........kinda wish I had the Cherry Picker this guy was using for those runs.......
  2. Honestly, it doesn't really work for me.......the interior in particular!
  3. It's definately got a "Modern Art Deco" look to it......still not sure if that's good or bad though, I'm leaning towards the latter.
  4. Looks like the clamps are radiator hose sized EFI hose clamps, should be easy to take off and retighten.
  5. https://autos.yahoo.com/news/nic-case-first-break-200-mph-r-c-180010015.html
  6. Eh, just time that with coolant changes and you're good!
  7. It was around long before this movie, just not in Hollywood Knights form.
  8. I've seen bits and pieces of this on YouTube, that '57 is a bit more of a mild custom.
  9. The car is a Traxxas "1/16" Ford Fiesta (now discontinued, but shares 95% of it's parts with the "1/16" Slash 4x4), using a Proline Baja Bug body for the 1/16 E-Revo (same chassis, different suspension parts), then the rolling stock is from HPI Racing's line of Vintage Trans Am wheels, tires, and bodies with all 4 being 1.9" tall rims then the fronts are 26mm wide and the rears are 31mm wide.
  10. Don't know why, but the R32's are the only Skylines I really like.
  11. I know it's an R/C, but here's one I did this summer. The Baja Bug body is made for the truck version of this platform and had full fenders, so I had to chop the fronts off and bob the rears some.
  12. One if these in white with goofy looking, oversized aftermarket rims on a local used car lot. Other than the rims, it looks straight out of an old lady's garage.
  13. Could be another homebuilt racecar.
  14. Is that a UFO or some sort of multi rotor R/C?
  15. Well, at least that Taurus is FWD, that truck is having a hard enough time keeping the front end down as it is, if that car was RWD or mid or rear engine..........
  16. Here's a Corvair P/U vs Econoline P/U dealer film.
  17. It's more like the AMT kits of old, engine and trans fit into a promo style chassis.
  18. Finally got my hair cut today, been needing to get it done for the last couple months but haven't had the time. I had been starting to look like that old pic of me in my avitar again!
  19. Kinda wishing that first one had been left alone, not digging that build style
  20. Because it's now owned by a guy in California that's old enough to remember cars like this being build for the cars shows back in the 60's, and appreciates them!
  21. I agree with Kalbert, this guy gets it, and get's it in spades at that! It screams early 60's show rod and I wouldn't be surprised if the builder is even 50 years of age himself.
  22. Made sense to me, but Dad has actually talked about going into the store when he and Mom lived here in the early 70's. The building was big enough to have two entrances and had the entrance on one street that had one name then the entrance on another street had the other name. No matter which entrance you walked in, you were in the same store!
  23. My allergies!!!!!!!!!! My sinuses are draining, causing lung congestion, and I occasionally have issues trying to sleep because I spend half the night coughing! Tried to sleep last night and ended up waking up at 2:45am with a coughing fit.
  24. I've run across a pump with one of those boots on if one time when filling my 200, couldn't keep it in the filler neck without a fight.
