Marketplace score
Team associated RC-10 looks to be a converted gold pan. Rpm arms, battery mounts and braces, a slew of Hipo (back in the day) brushed motors. Novak reciever, Novak ESC, boxful of spare parts to include 64 pitch spurs and pinions, magnum sport radio and NiCad charger along with discharge resistors. Definately was someone’s racer. Gonna clean er up, throw a 2 cell in there with a lipo alarm and see how she runs……
Less than 100 bucks

So I found something to get me by in the meantime…… where there is a will there is a way…..
Those who are gonna say “it needs a vent!” my tank vents thru the bottom with a tube that runs upwards to the top of the tank inside

So I just snagged this off of marketplace for practically nothing. Will it still run and work with a few vintage tyco trains? It looks like everything will need rewiring as all the wires seem to be just cut except for the lights. I’m just not 100% sure how all the switches work as I didn’t recieve any of that. I see decouples on the turnouts and It looks to have a couple “turtles” underneath even tho I have no idea what they are controlling. I have 8 boxes of structures and accessories as well……it’s not my first just been a long time since I have owned any…..
Thanks

Came across this while browsing marketplace
“Deities and demigods, we gonna have FUN tonight”

Dang got this pretty healthy 350 sitting here with a 4speed manual and nothing to put it in…..

I lost my gas cap. It was pretty unique as it threaded in then pushed down and 1/4 turn to keep it locked.
I can’t seem to find any thing to replace it. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
It’s a custom tank so I can’t just go and order per make or
Model number…..I was in the process of making a thin beauty ring to go around the opening and lost the cap on the freeway somewhere
Thanks

Now what to do with this

Happy 4th of July!

Took er to work today and got to blow the dust off …… pretty hard to keep the smile off your face while driving

Just an old guy with too much motor under the hood. The tires don’t stand a chance at anything under 55. Big block Chevy with all the goodies and 8-71 Huffer to really
Make er wild

Someone on FB posted this recent pic of “The comeback king” and all I keep seeing in my mind is an old

So I took my Vette from Dallas/Ft worth to Columbia SC to attend my sons graduation from Army basic training.
1050 miles one way
Here are a couple things I went thru
Alot of rain! Horrible
Mileage….. best I got was 11.1…. I
Kept the A/C off for the most part except when it was raining and the windows were up. Did the trip to
Columbia SC all in one shot. Return trip I split into two days. Driving in that pounding rain is just exhausting especially in a car that sits so low. It was fun tho….. got some pics.
No issue running At 78-79 mph at 2900 rpm. Before she goes on another roadtrip she will be getting the wipers looked at…. And definately an OD trans……was a ton of fun and the car got compliments every gas stop even tho it was filthy ….

Highly recommend

Prepping the vette… (daily driver) for 1050 mile trip one way next week. New tires, front end lube, new speedo cable….. next Sat , oil and filter change, top off the trans fluid, rear differential fluid top off, lube the half shaft u joints and hit the rear hub carrier bearings with a shot or two or grease, 3 new belts…….. leave out early Mon morning of the 15th from Dallas/Ft worth area to Columbia SC…..

Well I’ve put it off long enough. Time to fix this and for good this time. They don’t make this replacement jamb in repop (and if they did it would suck anyways) sourced an original jamb. Got the repair panel cut out and have to go get gas for the MIG….
Here’s progress so far…

So made a post last week about taking a 1000 mile strip to see my son graduate military training. Obtained all this from marketplace for less than 100 bucks. Not too shabby…..whatcha ya’ll think?
Keep negative comments to yourself, I don’t need em
