Congrats on your new commander role....!!!


:tup:, any details on the kit?

black touch up paint might do the job.

alcheng: hey man, can I come in for an oil-change tomorrow morning..?
mech: Yea sure, but what time are you coming in....?
alcheng: what is the best time for you...?
mech: mm... a bit busy so I am good at 11am if that's not too late for you...
alcheng: 11am..? Good, not too early, I can sleep-in...!! :tup:
both: (laughing)

thanks, mr.alcheng. :tup:

yah, i could partially unscrew it, paint, and just screw it back in when dry.


:tup:

Getting the AE B4.2. Supposedly the shop is getting it tomorrow.

Then I will build and wait for everything else (should be getting ordered here soon too, if not the same day).

do you guys remember the RC10? this thing leaked oil and fell apart often, but was a super machine vs all the tamiya buggies out there atleast at the time. :D

...OK, so i see where mr.alcheng got his inspiration from (the pink and all).... one of my RC cars at the time. :icon17:

No Guts, No Glory, No Rice! :tup:

Holy cow that's old. The RC10 is too. :bowrofl:

Kyosho used to be nothing in the world, now they're one of the top dogs, above Losi.

yah, i was there back in 1986? 1987? racing my hornet and frog and i was getting raped by them rc10's as their suspension was far superb. :mad: :icon17:

kyosho... yah, i have their mini rc cars somewhere...

no maybe it was 1984-1985... i dont remember. it was a while back.

:eek:

I was but a wee thought back then! :rofl2:

yah, i was in my teens, i think. :D

this is kinda cool... if offroad, this is wat i would get today. yah, slow and all, but just cool. :D

You know what's seemingly big now? Rock crawling with R/C. My buddy had one for a while. Was pretty neat.

hummm... i think tamiya had that land rover (defender?) that would be perfect. :icon17:

:icon18::icon18::icon18:

the Frog...!!!

I remember Grasshopper, just spring no shocks and that thing will flip for no reason..!!! :icon18:


mmm... don't forget Yokomo... the amazing YZ-870Z

Yeah, but you don't see Yokomo around much.

There's that Japanese factory driver that makes it to the big events with his Yokomo, but that's the only one I've ever seen.

Back when I raced there were maybe two. One from a guy who just wanted to be different, but the hobby shops never had parts, and the other from another factory driver (probably the same Japanese guy) that only showed up for the Cactus Classic race.

oh yah, bruiser. :tup: i remember that one. was super expensive at the time. :D


yah, i had a grasshopper that i won at one of the races. had 380 motor too... a hump-back 7.2v would last like 1hr. :wtf2:

Not a popular choice since the retirement of Masami Hirosaka (広坂正美)

Their TC kit is still one of the best also most expensive on the market. :tup:

Naoto Matsukura is their driver now.

he is very fast too... :tup:

the heck... 90F right now. :icon14:

Enjoy some laughter!

i checked my yok's tread tonight and i got about another 1.5mm before it's down to the lower limit on lincoln's head. i measured on the inner side of the tires mostly as that's where most of the wear is. :D

Tire Tech Information - Measuring Tire Tread Depth with a Coin

i have one of these miltons that work pretty well too. 2/32 is about when tires are replaced.
honestly speaking, penny trick is easier to see and do while the tires are on the car.
