My 100th video! though the focus of the video is 3D printing for day to day items, the clip show covers 100 glorious rc car episodes!

When I was growing up, I found an 1989 issue of RC Car Action with ads for a car called the Pandamonium. They were all over that magazine. I always wondered what it was. Well, I got one a couple weeks ago and am now going to cover a complete rebuild! Part one covers the cars features, tear down and plans.

It seems your missing the spot lamps on your pinto/panda (easy fix)

Hopefully my box account with various info proves a help, looking forward to some 3d printed improvements!

Yeah I have some for it though. MCI Now has the decals by the way! They also whipped up the Graupner Pinto ones.

I thought I had posted my Highj Lifts run. It was amazing! Sorry but the audio is just music due to the insane wind noise.

Hi wild, you're welcome downunder anytime and a short camping trip from my place will get you to sand dune heaven.  those tyres were bought as proline paddles from the US. I paid about $65USD for those on the bay delivered with some thin fronts. they are certainly fun. gotta get them on my Sandy for some fun too. see you when you're here!!!

That video makes perfect sense of the Grasshopper. So that’ll be +1 for the camping trip.

As a Tamiya Grasshopper and Hornet fan, I have a lot of parents that reach out to me asking what a good entry level car is for their child. In a world of incredibly inexpensive and high quality RC cars, that is not an easy question to answer. This episode of the buyers guide series will explain more.

I’ll be out again soon. It was lurching a bit too much and lifting it’s inside front on the turns.

I’ve changed the shock oil from 300 to 400cst, added a shock collar on all four corners and i’m rebuilding the diffs with 500,000 cst silicon for some LSD effect. 😁

I have just completed another buyers Guide video focusing in the Grasshopper II. Since it was recently re-re'd, I figured lets go through the series!
