And it's done! Some rechargeable Lithium AA's and it's moving along real well!4yr ⋅ JustASaltyDude ⋅ r/legotechnic
After all the aluminum came in and a long hiatus, project D3 Refurb is nearly complete!5yr ⋅ JustASaltyDude ⋅ r/rccars
Mock up of how it'll look once everything is complete. Hopefully, itll look a little better.6yr ⋅ JustASaltyDude ⋅ r/rccars
Look at this polished turd! It's like that horrible green goop never existed!6yr ⋅ JustASaltyDude ⋅ r/rccars
20 years later, and I am still absolutely in love with this car.5yr ⋅ JustASaltyDude ⋅ r/ForzaHorizon
Take 1 Part Lego, 1 Part R/C, 1 Part Lipo. When mixed well, the combination is insanely fun to drive around the house on a rainy day!7yr ⋅ JustASaltyDude ⋅ r/rccars
Continuing the trend of rebuilding memory lane, I bring you, once again, the Tracked Racer, with the added zip of Lithium batteries!4yr ⋅ JustASaltyDude ⋅ r/legotechnic
They say you didn't have fun unless you broke something, right? Well...6yr ⋅ JustASaltyDude ⋅ r/rccars
Finally got my Tracked Racer on Friday after months of waiting! First thing I did? Dropped in my BuWizz!7yr ⋅ JustASaltyDude ⋅ r/legotechnic
Finally got our first snow of the season, couldn't resist a glamour shot!6yr ⋅ JustASaltyDude ⋅ r/rccars
So, I immediately discovered that liquid electrical tape was a mistake...6yr ⋅ JustASaltyDude ⋅ r/rccars
And that folks, is one finished custom rear end for an HPI DeTomaso Pantera, sized to fit a drift chassis!6yr ⋅ JustASaltyDude ⋅ r/rccars
Day Two done. I finished paint, assembly, and function test. Unfortunately, my controls are all flipped. Troubleshooting tomorrow...7yr ⋅ JustASaltyDude ⋅ r/rccars
As feared, the lexan under the liquid electrical tape is pretty much ruined. And my attempts at removing it have left some gouges in the paint. This project is officially a flop. Im only continuing to work on it out of spite now.6yr ⋅ JustASaltyDude ⋅ r/rccars
So, I didn't realize I had been letting a speed trap monster collect dust til I saw it on YouTube! Crushing them now, but decided to take a nice scenic break.5yr ⋅ JustASaltyDude ⋅ r/ForzaHorizon
I accepted the fact that this is not going into space or going into best looking competitions any time soon, and finally finished painting. Carbon fiber boo-boo cover up starts tomorrow.6yr ⋅ JustASaltyDude ⋅ r/rccars
Custom rear end fabritand install complete. Now, we wait for the glue to harden and cover the ugly with decals and more miracle carbon fiber tape.6yr ⋅ JustASaltyDude ⋅ r/rccars
Day Four done- Conversion complete! Fixed my camber and trim, swapped my controls back to normal on my tx, applied my decals, and pulled all the tire options (white rims are the new primary off-road tires) for an all-together photo. Love this car, and have dubbed it Debbie!7yr ⋅ JustASaltyDude ⋅ r/rccars
Annnnnnd paint for the Mustang is complete! Trimming and decal application is next!7yr ⋅ JustASaltyDude ⋅ r/rccars
Day Three done- came to the realization I had to grind down my shock tower to prevent my shock caps and springs from binding up against the tower corner during travel. This is a comparison pic of before and after. Binding has gone away, and my arms/tires sit flush now!7yr ⋅ JustASaltyDude ⋅ r/rccars
Day One done. Have a nearly complete roller. Steering linkage, rack, and posts are gonna drive me nuts til I figure it out. May as well take this time to start body panel fit and paint.7yr ⋅ JustASaltyDude ⋅ r/rccars
Woooo!!! Now begins the slow, long, and tedious work of conversion! Annnnnd... I've already hit my first roadblock. 😒7yr ⋅ JustASaltyDude ⋅ r/rccars
Sold some more stuff, got Mustang paint, and decided to get this, unfortunately...7yr ⋅ JustASaltyDude ⋅ r/rccars
