Once I find a suitable black balloon i’ll give it a try on my Accord wagon.
Heh, I was jest jokin’ around. Baseball helmets WOULD be cool because you could use the “bill” to flip other cars. :p
Quote:what a piece of shlt, that thing is the worst micro rc you could ever buy, a helmet car, what will those american’s think of next, even a toilet would be better:question:I assume no responsibility for this utterly retarded piece of crap.:p
To make it completely realistic, you’d have to fade the paint unevenly just like the cars around here with those things!:p
Heh, just taday at a relative’s house I found an old 1985 Nikko buggy.
When I was looking at WW2s, I found a body for it. Was some kind of super deformed buggy, complete with “Fearless Freddy” figure. I can get you guys the details if you want, although I personally prefer the classic Willys styling.
Heh, still about 24 hours ’till Santa here…stupid Western hemisphere! Happy Holidays everybody. 🙂
Heh, looks like it had a run in with that Skyline of yours. Nice job Brendan!:approve:
Wow, I like it. Lime green is my favorite color. 🙂 do you have any shots of it with the Martini paint job?
Impeza, I know how you feel. I live near Lake Erie, 40 miles south of Canada. Very cold right now!
Quote:If you’re going by Tamiya America’s pricing, yeah they don’t
do anyone any favours over there. They keep everything a
premium-priced product over there. :dead:Amen to that! In some cases it’s cheaper to import stuff from other countries!
I enjoy suspending reality in my mind and thinking up things like this. :p
Heheh, this is hilarious stuff. Spy magazine has something like this in every issue I’ve seen.
I nearly purchased a WW2, I almost wish I did.
Heh, Savage SS is my dream monster truck. How ’bout that rippled pipe?
Ah, thank you for clearing that up for me.
Well, this is the tentative “project sheet” for my XMOD:
Rechargeable NiMH batteries
AWD kit w/ front AND rear ball diff (this means that i’ll have to buy 2 AWD kits)
Sealed bearings
Team Orion MRS4 wheel lugs
Stage II motor w/ 10 tooth gear & heat sink
Soft treaded tires (front & rear)
Hard springs (front & rear)
4.5 degree toe-inAny suggestions? After I finish this project, it’s on to an Overland!
Isn’t the Wild Willy 2 built on a modified TL-O1 chassis? I’m thinking abot getting the SVT Cobra Mustang kit, I wouldn’t mind a nice, cheap on-road car. Thanks for your review, it was quite a bit helpful.
I’m pretty sure it will fit, if not, I have a Dremel ready in my bottom drawer. :DThanks for all of your help!
I have a beach on a lake near my house, running there with a nitro is a lot of fun. Then you go home and clean out the secondary air filter. Not fun.
Nice pics Aaron! Glad you’re allowed to post big pics here, you can actually see details…

Heh, if it wasn’t for the snow, I’d find out right now. My buddy has a Factory Team GT, but he converted it to an RTR Plus because he kept breaking the graphite parts. Of course, he goes off of the huge jumps at motocross tracks…
By the way, you can see a pic of my chassis here:http://www.ohionitro.com/Pictures/detail.asp?iData=54&iCat=638&iChannel=3&nChannel=Pictures
This is my truck stock, a guy at the hobby store told me that each of my new wheels need to have some sort of rubber peice mounted on them.:p By the way, anyone have any recommendations for tires?

Quote:I’ve said, I’m looking forward to making up some custom parts, I’m getting a lathe in the new year, maybe a mill after that. I plan on doing a full propo mod and building an outdoor track using styrene for the racing surface.This is what I wanted to e-mail you about! Would you be making parts like aluminum lower chassis, etc.?
Well, I really like my XMod, I bought it and I drove it for AT LEAST 2 hours straight. One of the few cars that I enjoy driving as much as I enjoy modding. As for mods, I at least want to get Team Orion HPI MRS4 lug nuts and sealed bearings, pluus the RS 4WD kit, suspension, tires, etc. Is the Mini-Z better? Yes. Will I ever get a Mini-Z? Probably. Does it prevent me from having fun with it? No!
By the way, can anyone post some links for those sealed bearings? Also, both RS’s in my area apparently ordered a few sets of the bearings to sell.Edited by – Camshaft on 21 December 2003 14:23:09
I didn’t have questions about your banning, just general stuff about future projects. ph2t said it best-you ARE MRCC. I am sad to say I was there at the moment when it fell. It’s all downhill from here-MRCC has lost its innocence.
