I want to say that I used TS-11, but I don’t remember exactly. If I were to replicate mine I’d use TS-11.

I also like box art with alternate colors. Always liked maroon on a lunchbox after they did it in Car Action magazine. (I can’t find a pic of it, but here’s one of my old LB)

picking out your own paint color(s) is the second thing that drew me into the hobby as a 9 year old. (first being that they were cool cars). I think the only box art body I ever did was a Mini Cooper Monte Carlo, as a display only body. I also remember all of the rad sticker sheets we had to choose from at the LHS. also, has a phase been coined for this move? Livery appropriation?

wow, I’ve seen cups wear like that but not dog bones.

thanks for the input. Looks like my best course of action is to stick with plastic, and keep a spare in the drawer.

After having destroyed a couple of the standard Futaba steering servos that were in service for 3 years or so, I’m considering an upgrade to a metal geared unit. I try to keep my rc hobby on a “beer money” budget, and wondering if 3 times the price is worth it. Curious about peoples experience with both. To be used in ORVs for yard driving. and, if I can shake my cane and rant a little, I never had a steering servo die on me in all the years I beat my lunchbox around the yard, or raced my M03. Did the old units I had in the 80s and 90s that were considered standard have metal gears?

good score, exactly what I’d want. I complete CE at a good price that hasn’t had the bag beaten out of it.

I put a set of Fast Attack Vehicle rears on my Frog. not a perfect fit as the rim sticks out about 1mm. Going on 3 years and have held up great on the pavement, dirt, and short grass.

pretty cool, won’t get one

@wtcc5 hard to tell bc I haven’t tried it with it open. can’t complain too much about the turning radius. not great but not horrible, and I don’t ask much of it. I did have the servo installed in horizontally (because I thought it looked better), but found out it functions better with the servo mounted vertically.

I don’t remember Playboy having either 😉 good looking CC02. I really like taking my stock-except-for-bbs FJ40 along for walks in the woods and in the back yard. I set mine with low gearing and locked both diffs, and found it’s still a little speedy at full throttle.

idk, I tend to believe that they’re not watching what’s happening on eBay. it does screw up the game that they aren’t playing though.

LB!

it never hurts… you might find yourself someday building something out of spare parts and they would be handy. I typically keep spare unused tree parts in the kit boxes, and I have a little plastic caddy that I throw all of the hardware into for spares.

just found the front light from my Frog Beetle that fell off about a year ago. a year in the New England elements has aged it a bit.
