  1. And I thought there was only one drag car to wear Petty Blue!
  2. RC's, messing around on the computer, watchting TV, ext
  3. Never heard the original Hot Rod Lincoln before now, it's a shame to see that Charlie Ryan passed, but atleast he had a long life. I read an article about the real Hot Rod Lincoln he built when I was in highschool, and it sounds like he had a little bit of a lead foot......Well maybe Tungsten is more like it
  4. Good thing it's not a Smokey Yunick car then
  5. Not sure if it's a real or model, but is sure reminds me of thoser little Japanese vans modded to look like bigger vans from other countrys.......
  6. Thought so too, the openings were just too small for a wheel that large.
  7. Is there a car that color doesn't ruin?
  8. Much better choice in rims!
  9. Wonder how many of them got shot by people trying to put them out of their misery
  10. Is it going to be half sunk too?
  11. Junkyard parts is junkyard parts, even if it's off a ZR1 Vette
  12. Don't know how clost the G-Van chassis would be, the real ones are actually a variant of unibody construction. Front suspension might be close, but those were all leaf sprung from '71 or '72 all the way through '95.
  13. dang.....Makes me want to buy one......... Good Job to whoever did it!
  14. A word of warning Gregg, if you're going into areas for crawling that don't have much shade for a long period of time, bring a hat and sunblock. Didn't do that for the SCRC comp with my AX10 today and I kinda look like a big, fat lobster at the moment Tomorrow is going to HURT
  15. From what we've gotten at work for from Horizon Hobby (Losi's parent company), htey have been told to take all their bug looking products off teh amrket by VW.
  16. I'd try something like that, but with a budget boosted 2wd XJ
  17. Hey walt, what chrome stripper did you use?
  18. Did they tabulate the votes at a bar after the show?
  19. I'm guessing real, but really, reeeeeeelly hoping photoshop! Did Homer Simpson have anything to do with this....thing?
  20. This one will be getting sledded!
  21. Man are you lucky! I wish there was stuff like that around here
  22. No kidding Nick! I used silly putty on my Wheely King for the first couple months and it did work halfway decent, but in climbing, locked front and rear worked better. I bought the Maximizer lockers for mine since I could "easy" get them (they were on back order at the time, so it took a little more time ) I may go back on the front with mine since it'll now be more of a trail rig/basher since I've got the Axial as a comp-able rig. I did JB Weld the diffs on my Venom Mini-Giant and also set up one with heavy grease, which acted like the silly putty does on the smaller rigs like that and Mini-T, that one will get the putty/grease front and JB rear diffs once I get around to building it back up. Both of my rigs have steerable knuckles on the back, but I've thought about either buying or trading for the factory ARTR/RTR rear lockouts for the Axial, Not going to bother with the WK even though I don't have plans to make it rear steer either. If you're going to run any kind of 2.2 class comps with your rig it can't have rear steer on it. One question for you Gregg, have you joined any of the forums yet? I'm on RCCrawler under the name BJoe.
