Got an SCX-10 torn apart, along with a pile of Baja 5T parts from the 5T that's on a work stand opposite the bench. It's a mess right now!

What- nobody else has a camera?!? LOL

My work space is pretty darn small, as I'm a 1/25 scale model builder most of the time. You just don't need all that much room for 'em. Still gotta figure out how to build the CC01 on it, though....

There's my '58 Impala custom project up top (gold car), a '57 Chevy sedan that's gonna be a mild custom, & I'm swapping in a 6 cylinder along the way (white car w/ filler on it), & then there's the Micro T in the mix as well.

How about a redue of the Slash 2WD.Got some new RPM body mounts and finally dyed the chassis as well and put it back together. And I need some shoes to toss on it. I got some old SC racers in a box. Or maybe some 1/8th 's in a box under the table. Who knows.l8r,w.

Ha! this is how I usually do it also... just a towel over the coffee table and plant myself in front of the tube. :) one of these days I will get a proper work bench though.

OK been slackin a bit on this thread. So I have a few pics stored up to add here. So after my last race I saw some oil on my table under one of my race rigs. Turns out the rear diff in my Slash 4x4 is leaking yet agian. So time for a clean and relube and reseal of the diff. I got it done last weekend and not a drop since then.Just need to test run it this weekend to make for sure all is good.

Image



And next up is the addition of a Tractor Supply gift card toolbox I got from my coworker and friend Charlie. I have been trying to get one for while now but they never have any when I swing by there to see. So he goes all the time to get dogfood for his 3 shepards and asked the manager about them.He said they only get them in around christmas for the giftcards but has one sitting on his desk in his office just waisting away doing nothing. So when Charlie told what it was for he said he would sell it to him for my build idea. I will post up the finished product in my Honcho thread.

i don't have anything on my bench. getting my harley running for the end of the month when i get my license back is top priority. so parts and things for the bike are taking over my actual workbench. i'm also in the process of getting my spare room organized and set up as an RC+ room (storage and air-conditioned workroom). i got a couple heavy duty Gorilla Racks set up in there yesterday and have one for the garage. now i just need an old desk or workbench, maybe a chair depending if one of my computer chairs will work.

still have yet to get a new/better motor and esc for my Honcho (waiting to sell AX10) and there's something with my Slash or DX3.0 - seems to have more power in reverse. i've checked all the wires (vxl is color-coded) and messed with the radio a bit, think i got it somewhat evened out but still seems a bit backwards. everything but the AX10 is running, could use new lipos/charger (ICE smells like burning)... new/better motors would benefit a few vehicles but not totally necessary.



W, i think our Honchos are the same color....

yours

mine

It's just a custom caster adjustment. Yeah, a high quality plastic works better for me. Does RPM make arms to fit the LST?

plastic is always better for the arms. metal on the knuckle is good though. i'd rather have a plastic arm break than a plastic diff housing any day.

That is a rear hub bearing.lol Well was one

Don't know if I will get one anytime soon. I think I will get a RC10T4.1 and stick to 3 2wd classes and drop 4wd Pro4 Mod since all the pros are invading it now.

hell, my workbench is a tv tray in my bedroom. with our spring cleaning finally in gear, i cant setup my rc workspace neither in the garage (too cold at night anyways) nor in the living room. only drawback to working in the bedroom is that my room is very tiny and already a dump so god forbid i have to work on my emaxx anytime soon.
