THE HP FREAK

HI!... If I remember correctly, I got this one for $189.00.

HI!... Well I got 90% of the Scorpion done. I decided to paint the body white instead of yellow. IMO there was just two much yellow in the box art. Still got to clean up the motor and put on new wires. Driver and cockpit need to be touched up.

HI!... Well the new replacement roll cage showed up on Saturday. I might end up running this vintage KYOSHO Le Mans 480 Gold motor in it.

HI!... I used to order from Jason's Store all the time. Then one day I tried to buy something on Ebay from him and get this message : Sorry, the seller is not accepting bids or offers from you at this time. This may occur for various reasons. For example, the seller might have a limit for the amount of items that can be purchased within a given time. I don't have the faintest idea what this is about. Never had any problems with him. Now I have to have a buddy order from his Ebay account so I can buy stuff from him. I've tried to contact him, but never get any reply.

HI!... Got a few things yesterday.... - replacement roll cage for my Kyosho Scorpion : - Some vintage electronics : - Some more servo's for shelf queen's : - More Tamiya Bigwig parts : - New front bumper for one of my AE RC10 DS projects : - Oh at last but not least a NIP Team Associated RC10 World's car re/re :

HI!... Mine were not on a sprue. They were single pieces in the labeled plastic bag like all the other parts in the kit. No big deal. The new part was only $3.

HI!... Just went there to order one at their U.S $29 price. When I went to checkout with $2.50 shipping it suddenly jumped to $72. Whats that all about then?? Anyway I was going through my motor collection and fount a Kyosho Le Mans 480 Gold series motor. So I think I'm going to use that.

HI!... Well I got most of the Scorpion together now. Still need to find a vintage KYOSHO motor and buy some PS-6 yellow paint for the body. I installed all vintage Novak electronics in it. This will only be a shelf queen.

HI!... Well this will be my build up of a Kyosho Scorpion (re-re). Well I couldn't sleep last night so I decided to start building the Scorpion. I went to start to build the roll cage for the body when I realized something was not right. The dummies at the factory gave me 2 left sides to the roll cage!!! The right side is missing. So I ordered another one. Should be here next weekend.

HI!... I'm looking for a new or very good condition NOVAK NES-1A servo. Thanks < Neal.

HI!... I'm looking for a Tamiya BigWig "A" parts sprue. Or at least #4, the body roll cage with snorkel. Must be new or in almost new condition.

HI!... I'm selling this NEW Tamiya Falcon "B" parts sprue. Complete except the motor gearbox cover is missing. $20 plus shipping and paypal fees.

HI!... Well it's been a while but picked up a few goodies. BigWig #5 has started.... And some rare MSC brackets for my RC10 - DS project : And another vintage NOVAK ESC :

HI!... The RC10 is probably the most versatile RC car on the market. There is a ton of after market parts for this car and many, many different configurations using the same chassis. The selection of holes was for battery, servo, antenna placement. You could also extend the wheelbase. You could customize each car to whatever suited your needs.

HI!... On the rear body mount I ended up using a new white plastic Tamiya bearing spacer. It matches the colour and the diameter perfectly. You can hardly notice.

HI!... Nice! I have one as well.

HI!... So is there any upgrades for the crappy diffs in these things? I have 3 with brushless set-ups and all the diffs are blown. Keep replacing them and they don't last long. A steel spool would be best.

HI!... I picked this Marui "Hunter" off of Ebay for $40. Seems in really good condition. Front bumper has a few scratches on it but that's about it. I will be basically tearing it down, cleaning it and putting it back together. I've already ordered a new body, decals and headlights for it. Should be a nice addition to my shelf queen collection. :mrgreen:

HI!... Well some stuff came in today. :mrgreen: Some RC10 DS parts NIP : A Futaba vintage ESC and some motors : And a Marui Hunter that I got off the Bay for $40. :

HI!... Got a Team Associated RC10 DS Ford F-150 body NIP and decals NIP. :mrgreen: I foresee a 3rd RC10 DS project coming up. :mrgreen: I want to do something like this :
