Any RC Folks?

No not even close. Paid $3 sqft for the materials, some floor leveler, few tools and did the labor myself. I think it was around $1000 total for everything. It is the 10m thick with the padding already attached. Just had to put down a vapor barrier and install the planks.

Here is what it looked like once done

Here is a new body I just finished for my brother. I wanted to do a few more black accents but there was just too much going on to get it taped off good. I think it looks pretty good myself.





Here is a little buggy I have been gathering parts to put together. The body was suppose to be purple, but when I sprayed the black undercoating on it ended up turning brown. In the daylight it's a real dark chocolate color.

Been sitting for a LONG time, pretty sure the motor is seized up.

Seized probly not. Gummed the Hell up most likely. Your carb is where you will have the most trouble. But taking it all down and soaking it in nitro fuel should loosen and clean it all up.

What engine is on it?

I just know it wont pull. Its got a O.S Max.

[petyweestraw]

Yeah it's got dried up fuel inside it. OS max ? That's worth tryin to save I'd say.

Just take it off. Pull the head and button off and soak it in some nitro fuel making sure the inside of the block is full of fuel. It should work itself loose. Take It apart and clean it.

Get a new plug and see what happens. Taking apart the carb and cleaning it is needed also.

If it spins it will start. If the carb can't be saved you should be able to order a new one thru hobbytownusa.

Thanks,I'll give that a try. Is that a good motor? I know it was fast as hell, especially when it shifted into 2nd. I just order that AC cobra body, so I can make a "mini me" for my factory five. The front end is a bit goody on it, but thats the only one I've ever seen.

[petyweestraw]

It's decent. No slouch that's for sure

From facebook for those of you that race at Mike's:

Special request from Mike Darnell: We need as many people as possible to show up this Wednesday, 6/26, at 10:00am at Mike's Hobby Shop to help the State Inspectors understand the value of having indoor RC racetracks. Please share this post and invite as many friends as possible. All people are welcome to show up (with or without RC vehicles). The more the better.

[1carcrazyguy]

Wonder what is up with that? Sounds like the state is trying to shut him down?

My newest RC acquisition. Batteries are charging now.
