[RC project for 2014 #3. SRB Scorcher/Rough Rider (vintage).]

Looking great on the restoration.. Nice to see it in black looks exactly as the black one i painted.. :) Glad you liked it!

Sorry for the yellow color... It will look awesome when its done..

Brad

You can make the decals but you are not allowed to sell it on the tamiya club website unfortunately. Maybe in another place.

Let me know if you make some i would be interested in it. I have a friend who can make those too but i didn't have time to pass by him yet. He uses 3m decals on all his products. They are great..

If you can make it earlier that would be good.

[Another Lunch Box build thread]

Your lunchbox looks great! Hope you can sort out the esc. Nice color & details on it..:-)

[Blackfoot restoration with aluminum hop ups etc...]

Looks stunning , love the alu hop-ups

Thanks... The alu hops ups are pretty neat looking..

Looks great so far. I like those front aluminum C hubs.

They are pretty well built.. I was deciding on polishing it or not. It might stay like this for now..

love this build ! what paint you using for the plastic parts ??

Just regular spray can paint.. Enamel i'm guessing.

With all that aluminum, a cool color for the chassis would have been Tamiya's brushed aluminum silver paint

Yeah that will be an awesome color.. Might do that on the next project..

[Blackfoot restoration with aluminum hop ups etc...]

Since i love the blackfoots and having a few of them around. I decided to make one a little different to the ones i already have..

Clean up time first.. scrub scrub scrub...

Painted it a different color since all the other ones are all red. A little color to make it pop up a bit.

Wet paint..

Toasting at the fireplace..

Start of assembly

[RCH Dual Rear Shock Mount]

I have a set of those but didn't get a time to install it yet on the buggy.. As i remember no need to modify to fit but may be wrong. Its been a while already... :-) Lets see if i can dig it out & fit to the rough rider..

[Input for my next restoration project]

Same as what Mongoose1983 said you will never have enough of them you will eventually have both of them & even more... A lot of people can relate to that...

Although the flat under the rear wheel nut looks different

Was also thinkg Rad22Rad wheels, but can't find many pics of his solid wheels

Edit;

Here's one of Rad's solid wheels;

The diameter of the wheelnut flat looks more like yours

I thought about Rad's alloy wheels but couldn't find much pictures of it for comparison.. I looked at their website he had 2 piece wheels. This one is one piece only hmm... Just remembered i have some of his wheels in a frog that i bought a while back. I'll take some photos too for comparison.. Too much stuff around already..

[Alloy wheels 1 piece wheels identification help]

Can anybody identify the maker of these wheels. Bought them probably more than 2 years ago previous owner might had it for a while too.

They are 1 piece wheels not just the cover ones. Any help would be appreciated.

[How do you display your collection]

I use old boxes or paint caps to keep the tires in the air too.
