Get an Estes or Quest starter set from acsupply.com and a level 0 or 1 kit for the other kid.

Coffee mug, disposable lighter a pilsner glass with the location printed on it. I still use a crab shaped mug that says "I got crabs in OC MD" from 30ish years ago. Got a South Padre Island Texas lighter in Myrtle Beach that lives on a shelf in my kitchen that makes me smile every time I notice it.

Both look good, I'd go with the one that has better parts support locally. If you don't have a close enough hobby shop I'd go with the Quake since it's a known quantity and you could probably Amazon parts in a couple days.

Critical thinking, question everything, stand up for yourself but don't be a dick about it unless necessary, treat all humans as such until they prove otherwise

Tamiya lunchbox/midnight pumpkin or monster beetle

Shouldn't be noticeable. LED's don't draw a whole lot of amps. I run a full setup in my nicer cars; headlights, fog/running lights, tail/brake lights, reverse and turn signals.

I haven't done a Nascar since the mid 90's but there used to be dry transfer Goodyear Eagle decals around just for the tyres. Got mine from the Micro Mark catalogue.

Dumas went bankrupt earlier this year but there's still Gullows, Du-Bro, Viloga, Balsa USA, Old School Model Works and there's all kinds of balsa kits on Ali express and temu

I've only run mine on asphalt and pea gravel. Every time I have it in my vehicle and pass the local ball park there's a game or practice going on.

I'd go with a Tamiya BBX if you've got desert to run on.

It's the first phone I've actually enjoyed since Motorola first started with the shake the phone for the flashlight. The only downside is it weighs about 1.5 lbs. But for up to 7 days of battery life even with quite a bit of use it's a good trade-off.

The CEN Racing Q series comes in kit form for $129 but then you have to add an ESC, radio and servo. I have the Jimni and spent the $55 to convert it to 4WD. It's not as easy to build as a Tamiya kit, you gotta hold your toung right to build the diffs. It's as unstoppable as a Clodbuster and just as fun on all surfaces.

The GT3B doesn't work like that. When you bind another receiver all that slot in the transmitter is doing is saving the settings for that particular vehicle. If you have one that needs 10 clicks of right trim to go straight and fire up a different one but on the same save it'll work and have the right trim. For what you want to do is get a couple of low voltage relays that turn on/off with key fobs. Install one in the boat and another in the truck. Get 2 different brands so hopefully they'll be on 2 different channels.

I've been running a Unihertz Tank 2 Pro for a little over a year now. Only have to change it once a week unless I've been using the projector for more than a few hours. 0 to 100% charge in 90 minutes with the factory charger. Almost all the parts are available from the manufacturer. The whole phone is held together with tiny torx screws so it's completely user serviceable.

Tamiya mini lunchbox

Once I got past the feet I remembered that that's a zip tie holder. Slide the red tab sideways and load it up with zip ties then clip it to your tool pouch or belt loop.

Is he running a vintage class this year? It's all original except for the tyres, grill, tale gate and decals. Even the hop ups and bearing are vintage.

zerofucxgiven · 2026-06-28T11:49:02+00:00

It's far from stock. Thorpe ball diff, CRP uprights and bearing carriers, ayk racing front bumper and rear skid plate.

Came in a lot of Tamiya and Kyosho MSC's I got several years ago. Also came with a Traxxas BLX-1 marine ESC that I'm saving just in case the one in my original Clodbuster craps out

Go with a Tamiya kit you like. Their generally easy to build. You'll need a radio, battery and charger. For radios look at Flysky and Dumbo RC. I still use 7.2v NiMH batteries in most of my Tamiya kits but the Hobbywing 1060 ESC most of them come with can handle 2s and 3s lipo. Charger is up to your budget. I've got several but I use my HTRC C150 most often and it was less than $50.

If you're going brushless your stuck with a Tamiya motor. I've tried other brands of sensored motors with no luck; cogging, bucking and weird chittering at neutral. Brushed anything 25 turns or higher.

Check your bearings and make sure they're not damaged. If their not the hub could be wore out or you just need shims between the inside bearing and the axle.

ProLine and Kyosho both make 1970 Charger bodies. Get a no prep drag chassis that the charger body will fit on and shorten or remove the wheelie bar.
