Joe Handley

Picked these up at the club meeting tonight.

One thing I never paid attention to before yesterday is that he actually changed the tone of his voice if he was voicing Bat Man or Bruce Wayne. I don’t remember Michael Keaton or Adam West doing that prior, though I’ve never seen the versions that Lewis Wilson or Robert Lowery portrayed back in the 40’s.

He started earlier than ‘99, The Animated Series started in ‘92, and he did the voices in that, Batman Beyond, and a lot of the animated movies as well as video games, he even played Bruce Wayne in one of the WB/DC live action series in one of the episodes! He’s really “The Batman” for Millennials as well as younger Gen-Xers like myself, just like Adam West was for the kids that grew up with the live action series in the 60’s.

What Rick said up there! May even see if there is a shop that specializes in automotive paints too, they should be able to do what he suggests and mix it up for you right there!

2 Thinks! #1. Only have a little pain left from when I tripped and fell 3 weeks ago, still taking Motrin here and there, but it's nothing like it had been even a week ago #2. Had my Traxxas Stampede out for a bashing session yesterday and hit the steps in front of the house, breaking a bearing carrier, but just happened to have a replacement on hand and will be fixing that and a couple other little issues I noticed shortly too, all at no cost since iad the stuff on had for those as well!

Must be an old snap together kit then, that's how their 1/32 snap tires were done back in the day.

I think they should get in contact with the Van Halen clan and license the opening to Hot for Teacher! The drum portion for when "idling" since it sounds like a V8 on nitro then add in the guitar for low speed up until 35mph https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7grUgixqH8I

I just ran across this interview with Block about this car, sounds like it was quite the animal and would just destroy tires in new and unexpected ways! https://www.thedrive.com/news/the-drive-interview-ken-block-hoonigan-electrikhana

Finally got around to driving my Traxxas 4-Tec 2.0 after fixing a few factory driveline related issues it took me a few years to figure out, broken parts, and a couple mods, plus trying the “trans brake” transmitter from my new No Prep R/C with it. Hadn’t driven it at all over the last 3 years, with the breakages and overheating, I had parked it not long before my niece was born and other than tinkering off and on since then, it’s just been collecting dust. This is just a taste of what it’ll now do and it’s an absolute animal now, and this is only on a 5000mAh 7.4v LiPo with only a 25c discharge rate! With a bigger or higher discharge 7.4v pack or an 11.1v will probably make it too much for the driveway here and I’m honestly not sure how come the factory tires survived the pack?! I do need to find it a new body, this Javelin body I put on it several years ago is beyond beat up now.

Eh, an all new tool of a fairly modern production car and full detail vs a snapper, I’ll still get them as they come out. I just hope it has a full, swappable drivetrain and suspension and that price point.

I don’t mind the golf cart sounds, I kinda enjoy the pissed off screams of a potent electric systems being driven like that. Most of the R/Cs I’ve had, as well as the most reliable I dealt with while working for a hobby shop have been electric.

Is it me, or did that car seem to be more consistent in it's power delivery than any of the Subis and Fords he did this with in the past? Being electric would make a big difference, same with not having to deal with spooling up turbos like with all but the Hoonicorn's V1 time period...........

Hmmm, I'm happy to see that there is now a 6BT available, been wanting to stick one in that Lindberg L-700 kit I bought over a decade ago for some time now!

Am I right in assuming that he made some of the features on this car radio control?! http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-K7zwMBHehMI/UpXmtKVwkLI/AAAAAAAAEDE/HswdmHRlKHs/s640/Dean-Jeffries-05.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-WrrX9Ovb0H0/UpXm2M2AWLI/AAAAAAAAEDo/5xo8E8MbyZE/s640/Dean_Jeffries_Manta_Ray-18.jpg

Hopefully there will be detail kits with motors and gearboxes that can be used for scale EV swaps!

And that was only on a 2s/7.4v pack that wasn’t fully charged or using the included optional pinion (motor) gear that is optimized for that kind of battery! I also found that the “Trans Brake” feature built into the transmitter works with older receivers in other cars I have, I figured it would, but it’s good to know my suspicions were right there?

Finally ran the Drag Slash today, went almost completely straight once the tires were scuffed in after the first pass down the drive!

I’d be happy just to see a Pentastar in the kit or as a swap for it!

Since it's the "Last of the V-8 Interceptors", wonder if we'll also get the cop versions too

How about something completely different?! one of the Matchbox Subaru Sambar Kei Trucks mixed with the engine and wheels from a Hot Wheels “Altered Ego” dragster for a little Zinger Action!

I did that with a few Matchbox too, really made a big difference on the Ridgeline and Renegade! Picked up one of the Hot Wheels Max Steel cast that had a crunched blister and two bent axles, finally swapped in the wheels from a Broken Promises version of the Mod Rod, which were the right width for the chassis, just has wider front “tires”. did a little detail work and swapped the wheels around, just need to drill, tap, and screw the halves together!

Wait, somebody tried to repop that in resin and actually sell it?! I’ve seen better looking stuff come out of those blow-mold machines at the Museum of Science and Industry!

I’d love to see a Tucker kit, I’d have to have at least one, if not a few of those!

Tripped over my own feet yesterday and hit the ground like a sack of potatoes. Ended up taking today off to go to an urgent care and get X-rays taken. Looks like nothing is broken, but was recommended to get checked again if I’m not hurting any less be next week.

Great! I was surprised how well it worked too and gave recently found rolls of bigger sheets that I also want to try. Sometimes I just roll it across the shavings or peel off a sheet or two and stick them to the desk top and hold the Dremel so the shavings primarily hit that.
