ACCEL 2014 Posted May 16, 2019 ok that said it's because of his wounderful F1 build(s)............................................................................... being this is of the AE RC10F6 chassis i'm post'n it here for the intro. 1st i dig any older vehichles pre 70's. As sailboats are like flying kites on water, as 4x4 crawlers are like mountain goats but with wheels, as GP motorcylces is ballet in fast motion, as F1 Powerboats are fighter jets on water as also F1 race cars on road. i'm slowly building my stable of 1/32 slots into 1/10's in selected order, just not the volume, i always wanted to do this and now am able. We (me, myself and i) start with this.................................................................................................................there's those lil' dots again.

It's because you are one of those that inspire me to build and do it better each time. You are one of the Grandest RC Enthusiast i try to emulate. i always enjoy your build threads. and that darn crazy SWB name you came up with, i'll never forget it.

ACCEL 2014 Posted May 29, 2019 well one last order, scrap the Kyosho Optima for a few bills more (and glad i waited) Team Associated RC10 B74 pre-order i have a Scorpion and a 2011 Avante , i want something tough and FE. (Fast Electric). i dig all the vintage RC's i reckon being the slow building care of the Mugen BD AWDS will fill the void., but this new AE has me tickled and my RB6 will have something to chase after 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACCEL 2014 Posted July 16, 2019 Mini Rio fires up, i think it'll be too fast for my pool, But i can tone it down and dial it back with its programs with TX and program card. i've been working on my Grand Grotto and tring to finish what i started 15 yrs ago. so what time i thought would be into RC, well, concentrating on my backyard again. 32 years in this house and it's seen alot of changes.

Yalson 514 Posted November 16, 2019 Big shout out from another former slot car racer! I used to race 1/32 slot cars on the purpose-built track at my local club (Heron Model Car Racing Club) back in the 80s when I was a kid. If anyone here thinks RC cars can achieve some incredible scale speeds, a properly sorted 1/32 slot car was made of hinged brass plates and could reach a genuine 70mph on the downhill back straight at the HMCRC circuit. They were phenomenally quick. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
